They said....!!!

They said be strong,
I fought bravely.

They said have faith,
I never thought twice.

They said show trust,
I shut my eyes closed.

They said You will win!
And I teased failure.

They said and I did,
They ordered and I obliged,
They thought and I applied.

All of that, was what they wanted,
And instead I lived and I died.

"The joy I dream...."

I am walking down a path. But it leads to nowhere.

I think I am lost. But then this was what I wanted.

But this can’t be it. This is not the end.

It’s not what I started for. It’s not the joy I dream.

Rediscovering the way is what I look for.

Far from here I do see a light. A ray of hope instilled.

But it’s too far. It’s too scary.

I marvel if I would make it.

But I know I will find out. I know I will not give up.

Coz this is what I started for. This is the joy I dream.

Evil is not “me”,it’s the “I”!!

I build myself from others, I reached the height others queue,

I made myself stronger to withstand, the cult of modern and a few.

The hunger is never less, what I have is never more,

Things that would make me anything, now do nothing but bore.

Now I stall on empty roads, looking for the things I seek

But nothing to share, nothing to achieve, my existence remains a lost cause to me.

When will this hunger decease and make me free I would never know,

All I have done is broaden the line that once never existed between me and you.

Was it worth is the question I ask

For oneself without emotions is like an empty glass

All I want is a hug and not another lie

And someone to assure me the evil is not “me”,it’s the “I”.
