No pain
               No gain
                              Get in your lane
                                                           It ain't bout fame
                        One big
                                       Stupid game

What if it all
stopped
all of a sudden
maybe it would give us a chance to breathe
a chance to feel
a chance to be alive
I wouldn’t know what that’s like
instead I continue living in a constant world
where everything must be
immediate
and instantaneous
and there isn't enough time
but also too much
and everything blends together
until
it becomes as
meaningless
as the sad life
I live

wouldn’t it be nice to look at the world with new eyes?
with fresh lungs that can
pause
between thoughts
and take in the breathtaking beauty
that surrounds me
while the rest of the people on earth continue
in their feeding frenzy
trying to consume everything
when really
everything
s
l
o
w
l
y
consumes them.

It wasn't easy
  saying goodbye
to what I thought
was a good reason
to hide away from
what was really
nothing but
love.
Back and forth back and forth
Is it really love
It isn't love
It must have been love

It's each person to themselves that has been a cause of much pain
because they're mostly interested in what with they only can gain.
They don't really give a **** about how anyone else might be going
but continue on for their own sakes regardless of what life is showing.

Sometimes I wonder of things that could be,
Things of old made new into realities,
No longer trapped in my infinite dreams,
Appearing as distant as the marvelous beams,

Holding my life together, carrying my shame.
I may have lost hope but never the gain,
Of experiencing fear and holding it close,
If you’ve faced risk then you’d know what I know.

Sometimes I think of the matters at hand,
If they matter to me all that much.
But nothing involves me so why try to touch,
The poison that fills me whenever I blush?

I don’t know of options, never had freedom.
Unsure of character or, just lack of good reasons.
But this I know and this I will share,
The moments of fear that only I can tear.
Just some thoughts I wrote down :)

The air ferries me forward.
I’m riding on the winds of change.
When I hit the dead end -
My pride will smash on the pains
Of windows kept shut in disdain
For my kind. The kind who have
No kind to gain. Nor to lose
Or loosen any chains.
But end up being shackled
As stardust in the same
kind of Air that would choke us
Till it ****** rains.

Pain to loose,
Strength to gain.
Who knows who will leave me,
So I pushed them all away.
This is for those times when we r betrayed . And we don't trust anyone anymore not even to ourselves. So we pushed everybody away. It's okay take ur time.. to reconnect

Life is a game,
Made for all.
We all at different levels,
Dealing with same wrongs.
Passing pain & pleasure,
Sunshine and rain.
There will be loss & gain.
But we must smile
Again & Again. !!..
Who cares for gone past and still unborn future when today is all what I have to build a legacy. Me must choose to smile looking bravely in the eyes of adversity.
