Life To Me

I was walking on the beach one night
Walking alone with no one in sight
My mind was filled with a lot of thoughts
Thoughts abstract that I could not fight.

I looked up at the moonlit sky
It seemed to assure that it will protect me
I walked towards the singing waves
Who seemed to sing the songs of life to me.

The wet golden sands comforted my feet
The cool wind played with my long black hair
A voice whispered all that I wanted to know
All that life is about- how it is always fair.

Life is the reality made up of dreams
It is the hope got out of disappointments
It is the peace that evolves from hostility
It is the creation that follows destruction.

The soothing voice explained
How every dark cloud has a silver lining,
How every problem has a solution and
How every end is only another beginning.

I understood I was never alone
I have always had so much of love showered on me
I understood that life is far above the petty sad things
And that it has always been just to me.

The Empty Me

I wanted to see the world
So I left you and went ahead
I wanted to succeed in life
So I abandoned whatever stood in my way
Now that I stand here
Reaching the peak very few can
Why am I all alone?
Why am I repentant?
Why cannot I even share the joy?

I am content but am oblivious
Of what real happiness is
Everybody knows me now
But I have lost my real identity
So karma really does exist?
Am I broken because of
The heartaches I caused long ago?
Was it a miscalculated mistake on my part,
Or was it just simple justified fate?

I have forgotten how to smile
I have given up all those
Who now I know meant the most to me
Is it too late to beg for forgiveness?
Are they too far for me to get them back?
I wish I had listened then
To the shrieking conscience in me
And now everything is gone,
There is nothing left but the empty me.

Always

I can walk alone
But I will like you to walk along with me
I can go alone
But I will like you to come with me
I am happy but you make me happier
I am not lonely but you make me feel complete
Just hold my hand all the time
And always be with me.

I can reach my goals by myself
But I will like you to cheer me on
I can conquer the word by myself
But where is the prize if you are gone?
I am successful but you are my pride
I am thoughtful and you are my reason
Just hold me close
And always love me.

I do not need to be by myself
I do not require doing things alone
I am content with us being together
I am pleased that you are my strength
I am what I am and you let me be
I do what I do and you still cherish me
Just be what you have been
And always let us be.

Sometimes..

Sometimes things are not what they seem
But sometimes, they just are
Sometimes you feel from within
And sometimes from feelings, you just are very far.

Sometimes you try too hard to change
But sometimes, you are glad of what you are
Sometimes you wish things to be different
And sometimes you are content with what they now are.

Sometimes letting go is not easy
But sometimes, it is more difficult to hold on
Sometimes you want to grab onto everything
And sometimes you realize that all is gone.

Sometimes it is so simple to understand
But sometimes, it is simpler not to reason
Sometimes you know actions are necessary
And sometimes it is wiser to do nothing.

Sometimes one way seems to be right
Sometimes the other does not seem wrong either
Sometimes both paths you are unwilling to take
But thats just how life is, how it always was.

UNTITLED....

( THIS IS BY MY FRIEND...SOME RANDOM FEELINGS JOTTED DOWN..)

There's something I've just got to ask
What was running through your mind
Did you honestly think that I wouldn't care
That I wouldn't die, from your goodbye

It's like your mind was made up
You didn't even want to hear me out
Instead you called me a liar
You took the easy way out.

I wanted to work things out
If I remember correctly, it's not me
But you who walked away without
Trying to see, things werent as they seemed

What I don't understand
Is that you know me, you know who I am
I don't lie, esspecially like the way you said
You know I care as much as I can

On the other hand, even though deep down
You have killed me and broken my heart
I know that the real you still lies inside of you
One day you're going to realize
It's not me, but you who you caused harm

The day you realize and see
Exactly what it is that you have done
thn maybe bth of us wil realise our mistakes
but somethings i know cannot just be undone.

maybe somethings were just to be
maybe somethings were just not
maybe i will move on from this someday
or maybe i will just not.

When things go bad... They just go bad

(this ones dedicated to a friend who had given me this title to write on... im hoping you see the optimism in this one.)

When you walk the road of your existence
You come across many a junction
Time teaches you humility and patience
And shows you how God makes our lives function
He makes our paths challenging
Therefore, we realise the significance of each goal achieved
Reaching ambitions have never been easy
Things seem to go wrong even before aims are reached
But, when things go bad
They just go bad
Only to make things better after a while.

When things go bad
The heart beats faster
Moments may be sad
But this is not a disaster
This is not the end
It is just another bend
There is nothing to worry about
Because in life
When things go bad
They just go bad
And then life moves on.

Would It Always Be This Way?

Wanting to be together
Yet choosing to be apart
Longing to hold each other
Yet trying not to believe the heart
We both know we are mistaken
However the price we are both unwilling to pay
Things could have been so amazingly different
Then why did we end up this way?

We walk away from each other now
Yet have not been able to look away
We move on to different lives now
Where we hope the happiness will stay
But is that feasible?
Did not we try this so many times before?
Why are we still hurting now?
How did this happen all over again?

When we speak now
Knowing the circumstances to be inappropriate
Why are the feelings still of those times now?
Are we being bided again in the game of fate?
It may be easier to be apart than to be together
Perhaps that is the reason we have come to this day
But is this all that life to us can offer?
Would it always be this way?
