I want to get back

I want to get back,
To the person I was,
I do want to get back,
To each of my lost cause,

I just want to smile,
As pristinely as I did,
So that things no more pile,
And break off the lid,

Well on second thoughts I don’t want a lid,
To bound me anymore,
No desire should anymore be hid,
No dream should turn sour,

I want to cherish the beauty,
Of each little moment,
Not to go running behind any booty,
And give up what time lent,

I want to see the joy,
That I saw when I looked at the sky,
Not thinking of some ploy,
Or just asking everyone why?

Why was it I to suffer?
Why was it I to blame?
Why was it I to flounder?
Why was it I who was lame?

I no more want to write about the pain,
I seem to know what all I don’t want to do,
I don’t want to hide my tears in the rain,
But about my future I seem to have no clue,

I want to set out,
Jump off that building,
To efface all doubt,
It’s not about self-killing,

It’s about enduring each day,
Each minute is a gift,
It’s like a child’s play,
Where everything moves swift,

The innocence hides all dismay,
The simplicity makes them giggle,
Chances are you’ll forget any fray,
And there’s always someone to mingle,

So here I end this story,
As its better to act than plan,
As in there’s no hurry,
But I would do everything with élan…

LOVE ONE LOVE ALL
