The words come as fast as they go away.
The moment passes on
and all I can do is stare at you.
Stare and stare.
Its a strange feeling
That changes so much
so quickly.
Its been there for so long now
I wonder why i didn’t see it coming
The perseverence I lack,
the dedication.
I find in you.
The inability to express
The way I still hold back from you.
The way the fear doesn’t go away
How it makes me the way I am
Vulnerable to you.
And yet not. In so many ways.

What does it take to realise
that your sorrow is not enough for the world.
Its not worth the attention you grant it.
The attention you seek
is not something you deserve.
The pain you think it will drive away
is never going to go.
The selfless-ness you think you show
is your virtue and yours alone.
The world is selfish and shall remain that way.
It is too much to ask
for the world to change.
If you want to delve in so deep
do so at your own expense
The pain that will follow
when you hit cold water face first
Is yours, and yours alone.
The misery of thought and loneliness
is meant to be this way.
Its not going to go away.

Lets run away today
Away from this place we are to call our home
Lets run away where no one can see
No one can talk
Lets run away to the water
And the expanse of white sand
Lets hide behind the trees
And stare at the sunrise.
lets count the stars
And watch the orange pink turn black.
Let our laughter echo
Silence only when we kiss.
Let me lie on you and stare at the sky.
Let me sit up and stare at you.
Endlessly.forever.
Whisper and promise me we re never going back.
Build me my world. right there.
Lets run away today.

The closed walls,
The barred windows
Standing in the shadows
Of the little light streaming through
Streaming through the dirt, the grime
Thats settled for so long.
Attempts to shake it, Futile.
We, screaming for revival
Tugging at the bars
Amazed, gaping
At the ignorance that surrounds us.
The acceptance without a voice
The satisfaction of a dreary life
We, screaming
Trying to wake them up
Can’t nobody see?
The truth? The light?
The chains, the walls, the bars
The games
The subtle games of society.
Society, That makes us, creates us.
Breaks us, extinguishes the spark within
All escapes destroyed
Stand in front of them
Die a valiant death
But death it is
Death of the million voices
That chose to speak
That chose to realize
The games
The subtle games of society
At the price of our life.
Black is white, and white becomes black
At the beck and call of these
Right or wrong
Is not what we believe
It is the way they decide.
Taught since the first days
To accept
Raise a voice and face regret
Un belong, and pay the price
Uniformity, their key, they rule.
Thoughts damped
Eyes closed
The earlier they begin
The easier it looks
One in a million?
Lost in the billions
And those voices give up
Stand in the crowd, lost, hopeless.
The fear grips
And before they know it
They’re one of them.
They die a valiant death.

The broken soul
Searching for solace
Looking for company
and shrugging it away
Yearning for some connection
Something, anything to tie the broken threads.
Going from place to place
Person to person
endless converstaions,
That may make sense
Doing things without reason
Rationality long lost
She knows whats wrong
but still carries on
Walking through life
Dull and numb
She cares for so much
But never enough to care,
Evrything messed up
Not one person she can fall back on.
Doesnt want to you say.
Why does she feel that way?

The hours chime by
The mystery that was, is.
Unfurls slowly.
Peeping, always out of reach.
The answers, lost, never written.
The cage of society
Always broken,
Yet deceptively present.
The irony, the hate
So blatantly there.
Yet, so many unaware.
Why do I get the Good
And you the bad.
Who will explain the injustice?
Karma, you call it.
Another name for the unexplained.
Why does the little girl have to pay,
For so many things unknown.
Why is the burden That is life
Borne by so few?

Streaks of light
Tear through
Dancing,
As the light moves
Heavy shapes,
No walls to be seen…
The dark, envelops the light
Each movement makes a sound,
Silences the night
The curtains bellow
Forming shapes of distant times
Screams rip the silence,
As a nightmare awakens
The streaks become steady
The dark, lost in th light
No corner left untouched
By the powerful beam of life
As the clouds converse with the sky,
The moon defeated,
Welcomes the sunlight.

The quaint ol streets,
The melody playing off the hidden scenes.
The path beckons
The smells tantalize
People call out
The world goes around
Throbbing with life
Oh how I long, to belong
To walk those streets, free
To seek, to find
To travel anywhere I like
See every little corner
Nothing out of sight
Not alone but,
I want you with me.
