Tired and numbed

I step out..

Im trying to step out today..

In my heart

I feel the burden

I feel sick

Thats why I want to step out

Finding the reason why Im still alive

No one there

For me.. so..

I step back

I open the door

With hesitation I lock it

Its okay

Im telling myself

Its okay

Im trying to smile

Smile

Instead the tears drop

Im asking

Why Im still here

Dying is so hard to do

Living is so hard to do

I realize

Im just leftover

Wilting by myself

Deep in the sea

Out of this world

Craving to breath the happy life

I crawl into my bed

Wrapped myself with the cold blanket

I face the lamp at the ceiling

Not shining

Its dark

I reach my fake world

Listen to the hat in time music

I will end up sleeping the day out

Lets see the sun tomorrow

Again

Maybe tomorrow will work

For me

For me

Happiness

How happy is he born or taught,

That serveth not another's will;

Whose armour is his honest thought,

And simple truth his highest skill;

Whose passions not his masters are;

Whose soul is still prepar'd for death

Untied unto the world with care

Of princes' grace or vulgar breath;

Who envies none whom chance doth raise,

Or vice; who never understood

The deepest wounds are given by praise,

By rule of state, but not of good;

Who hath his life from rumours freed;

Whose conscience is his strong retreat;

Whose state can neither flatterers feed,

Nor ruins make accusers great;

Who God doth late and early pray,

More of his grace than goods to send,

And entertains the harmless day

With a well-chosen book or friend.

This man is free from servile bands

Of hope to rise or fear to fall;

Lord of himself, though not of lands;

And having nothing, yet hath all.

Can you hold on?

One more day, one more night

I gotta just sleep tight

I am waiting for the day that’s just right

I know I am silly, you are out there hanging out with billy

He’s got that smile, that face, that charm that just feels right

But I promise I’ll be just like silly billy one day, you see

I am just waiting just waiting

When the time is right

So can you just hold on…tight

Till I gather my might and become the mr. right

Can you.. hold on??

Tyger Tyger

Tyger Tyger burning bright

In the forests of the night;

What immortal hand or eye

Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

-William Blake

War

War, war never changes but it changes the people who wage them.

It makes them miserable, it gives them a purpose so grim.

The purpose of killing the “other”. To take the precious gift we call life from someone’s cold dead hands.

To snatch whatever little hope someone has. To rape the very sacred queen that gives color to this world. To burn, to loot, to pillage some remote heaven on earth.

War, war never changes but it does change the people, for when you kill a precious soul, a part of you goes foul as well.

May those who perish and those who wage wars both find peace, for their soul needs them.

Hell is here, Hell is now

Hell is when you are gifted with talents that you cannot express, when the words you want to say and the words that come out are different, even mediocre.

Hell is seeing your life go by, before your very own eyes while you just helplessly watch wondering if tomorrow would be any different.

If a new day will bring new life into this old one of mine.

Hell is to realize at the dusk of your life that you merely existed, not lived on this big blue beautiful earth.

Hell is to have food without hunger, love without feelings, lost youth and the regret of it all at the end of your life.

That, my dear friend, is the worst hell of 'em all.

LOVE

But what is love if not trust

The trust that breaks a fall

The trust that heals it all

The trust to be true

The trust I have in you, my love

The pain of things left unsaid

Pain pain go away

Come back another day

Another day,another time

Till then I’ll try to be fine

Time is ticking…

And tricking me to stay the same

Stay the same

Stay the same…

Oh my pain…

The Mad Man And His Hut

The madman and his hut

There is this man, a mad, mad man

Who lives in his tiny hut

In the middle of manhattan

Among the largest of the huts

He wakes up every morning and

Thinks it will be new

The breakfast is made, the coffee’s left to brew

It’s eight thirty already and he’s getting late

He has to run back to the company

To continue his boring fate

The mad man runs around the city

On this another boring day

And won’t you look at the time

It’s already six thirtyyy eight

The man has to sneak out before the boss finds out

And chews him out again

Infront of everyone

He has to meet this girl

He met last night at bar

Oh pity! She won’t even give him a chance

If she saw his beater car

He rushes through the gates of hell

With the lights turning red and green

He has to reach hotel

Before its eight fifteen

Oh pity! She didn’t show up

Maybe she saw his car

And here just another boring day

Leaving behind its painful scars

Oh pity! The madman….

And his beater car

The madman comes back to his hut

The time is ten thirty..

Better cook some dinner

And then watch some tv..

Oh pity! The madman and his tiny hut

Oh pity! The madman, his life is in a rut

Oh pity! The madman will go to bed

Oh pity! All alone with his favorite beating hand

Oh pity! His soul just died some more

Oh pity! He’ll start this again all alone

Oh pity! The madman sighs while looking at his scars

Oh pity! The time is twelve thirty

And its just another day of his boooring story..

Oh pity! You madman and your tiny hut

Oh pity! Your life’s in a rut

Agaaaaaiiinnn……..
