How did I get here?
Was this always my pre-ordained destination?
I find myself amongst strangers
In common ,the angst in all our minds is major
I can see desparation and longing on their faces
Does the inherent need for company and companion bring us all together to such places?
We may all manage to bury our grief
But the efforts at suppression turn out to be brief
How did I get here?
This is the question I need desperately answered
Thoughts of days gone by ravaging my mind like a cancer
Some do it to remember ,others to forget
Eventually all end up upset
A temporary moment of false calm and consolation
These are the perks and privileges of self medication

I let myself be bare
Open and exposed naked as the day I was born
All could see me yet I couldn't see myself
An open book all could read but none understood
One moment elation the next not in the mood
There cold and confused I stood
Staring at their faces
Some were seemingly sad some artificially happy some In-between but none content
All aloof and alone not one could connect
All dreading closing time for there was no one to go home to
Some in complete terror not even a home to go to
I have to admit that at times I felt scared too
I felt no glimmers of hope I saw no glimpses of light
Too weak to put up a fight

I like where this going
Feeling sky high like flying in a boeing
Love for who i am, no room to judge
**** the loneliness, it's a purge
This girl I love she be my queen
Make it be better than its ever been
My lifeline in this endless ocean, a raft
Naturally gifted at giving joy, maybe her craft
Mind-blowing like the monalisa, everypart of her be pure art
Eternally attracted to each and every part

love is effortless, a leaf floating on the mild wind
love is the remedy, loneliness a deadly disease and you're the cure
love is water, in its absence you'd die of thirst
love is selfless, for you I would bleed
love is blind, it overlooks misteps and misdeeds
love is king, you're the ruler of my heart
love is light, a single smile and the darkness disappears
love is the universe, it's infinite
love is a hero, it rescues from deep despair
love is alien, out of this world
love is addictive, you're the drug that I fiend
love is music, it heals the soul
love is like a child, innocent and true
love is gravity, pulls you close each time you feel like flying away
love is a mystery, holmes couldn't solve it even if he tried

Cut me off with a weak excuse
Am just longing for affection but you refuse
You throw me away, I have no use
You cut deep, you hurt and you bruise
Long for the days when it felt like a cruise
Let you inside and you use the access to abuse
Can't handle it and I burn up like a fuse
Dream of peace, you reject a truce
Anger and hate, that's all you produce
Think it can't get any worse yet lower levels you introduce
**** dry all my life juice
Search for joy still pain is what you want to induce
I'd say you wish the worst for me if I had to deduce
Hope for the very best, add it up pray you don't make it reduce

Call to the heavens ,pastor
Do not slow down ,faster
Supernatural force, ghost, casper
worldwide calamity, disaster
*******, *******
Opposite of slave, master
Small but reach my full potential, mustard
Read the news, caster
Italian food, pasta
Whip my hair back and forth, rasta
Keep it all clean, duster
He gathers all his courage, muster

Q
You heal my pain
With you I never feign
You consume me like a fire
Hold my hand and I would never tire
Whisper in my ear
And dispell all my foolish fears
Stitch up my countless tears
Wipe away my salty tears
