tragic
that many
are motivated more
through avoidance of pain
than through the attainment of
the achievements their heart desires earnestly

When we have a lover's tiff

When we have a lover's tiff

i tell you that i hate you
almost as much as i say i love you
you make me want to tear my hair out of the roots
sometimes i want to strangle you
i’m sure you feel the same too
it is actually a good thing to feel
because i sincerely do believe
that the opposite of love is indifference not hate
and where there is hate
there love is sure to be

Life isn't a popularity contest

Life isn't a popularity contest,
when you set your eyes on the rising sun,
see him smile; at sundown
same spirit should prevail.
Trying to wrest out a smile is a joke.
be aware, every smile you invite is yours.

Who are you?                                                                                                                             Who are you?
i think i know you                                                                                                           i think i’ve met you
That i’ve seen you before                                                                                    and known you inside out
and been with you                                                                             touched your dreams, felt your scars
spent some meaningful times                                                          shown you mine too, under the stars
shared some laughs and shared some sorrows              we’ve discussed commonalities and discords

                                                                                   i know you
                                                                                 you know me
                                                                              and yet it seems
                                                                             we’ve never met
                                                                         and odd as it may seem
                                                                          i don’t recognize you

                                                                           it makes me want to
                                                                              pick your brain
                                                                                pych you out
                                                                       sift through your secrets
                                                                   need to figure you out to know
                                                                       where we’ve met before

                                                                  i want to dissect your heart
                                                                      and find my place in it
                                                                i know i’ve been there before
