I want to go right.. Oh, there's no sight.
I want to go left.. But there was once the terrible theft.
I want to go straight.. No, for that long, I cannot wait.
I want to go back.. However, there everything is black.
So where do I go? Up and down, to and fro!
So goes in my head the commotion, when will my life get the promotion.
Lord! Show me your guiding light, give me courage to win this fight.
I want to overcome this turbulence, I want to erase every grievance.
I want love to encircle me, I'll remove the hatred that surrounds for free.
To have a happy life, is all I ask for, peace is the motto, be it love or war.
I have high aims like all, save me the hit of the wrecking ball.
So many emotions fill me right now, life is such a game, in good or bad way makes you exclaim a wow!
I want to speak it all out, Yes, I want my heart, out loud to shout.
But then a fear overshadows my talk, there I prefer through the back door to walk.
I know it might not t be the right thing to do, but another step of mine will make me a boo.
I am not so strong to face what comes, the anxiety in my throat is forming up lumps.
Should I keep it all within? Away from eyes, forever hidden?
That shall push me to continue to live this way, life won't be black or white, but grey.
Confusion will rise every morning, without giving me any warning.
Sadness would be the darkness in night, No, this doesn't feel so right.
I want to be happy, too much to ask? Because I failed in what you gave me as a task?
Don't you realize, that is not who I am, Though I do respect you, sir and ma'am.
But I want to be the way I am born, What in it is wrong?
To bring you a smile, I should sell my soul? And if I refuse, you'll make me live in that dark hole?
Why, today I ask. What have I done? That on my heart, you point that gun.
To live life the way I want I say, so get yours and don't rule mine, okay?
Today I am quiet, why I don't know, but I promise tomorrow I will glow.
My light would make you blind, even then my love will keep you bind.
Because I loved you truly, every minute, for everything from big to as small as a particle of millet.
You should know, nothing can stop me from reaching the top, no matter you push me down at every hop.
I won't get disheartened from any of this, because whatever life has to offer is a bliss.
I won't let this destroy my goal, or burn in my pocket a **** hole.
I will win, I know in my heart, doesn't matter how much you try to be smart.
Yes, this is for all you people out there, with black, grey, white or no hair.
Nothing in this world can slower down my pace,
To my loved ones, I am already a grace!
