I see you trying your best
Don't give it a rest
Don't give up your quest
You're truly blessed

Dark thoughts come flying in like a storm.
The way the wind takes me away.
The way the lightning paralyzes me.
I watch the darkness crawl into my arms,
knowing that they're only here to bring harm.
I wish I can go back to my happiest days,
when I never felt pain or darkness haunt my dreams or my soul.

Where are the stars that used to guide me?
They used to shine through my eyes,
telling me that I'm never alone.
They seem to move on, forgotten me.

I overthink too much,
that it's the end.
I don't know why I let it dig into me.
Small things become big things.
I always hoped that one day someone will embrace me into their loving arms.
Understand every dark thought coursing through my mind.
Feel my heart through their ears.
Face the reality that I'm not perfect.

I'm not a robot built through metal.
I sometimes bottle up myself,
I sometimes smile like I'm okay, but sometimes I'm not.
I can feel weak, but I know I'm strong.
I fought through the storm before,
I know what it feels like to want to give up.
It's such a strong urge, but I don't give in.

Because I have people counting on me, looking up at me, admire me of who I am.
I'm a good person for helping others.
I let them know that their not alone,
They let me know that I'm not alone.
Sticks and stones won't break our bones.
We are headstrong!

The basics of trying
a simple attempt
to lighten a burden
deal with what life has sent
may it be lifting a heavy load
in the calm of a storm
or putting out metaphorical fires
in the life you are born
to try is a gift
one gives to the world
the basis of knowledge
to experience what is hurled

Empty pages.

Fill them
With faith.

Fill them
With hope.

Fill them
With Love.

Its been only months since the day i first talked to you,
but this has never been an issue,
indeed,
no matter what i was going through,
you were always here when i needed someone to talk to..

A friend that won't ever ask for anything,
but who deserves everything,
that's what you are,
no matter how far away you are,
you know you can count on me like you've been doing so far,
and like always i'll be here for my little star..

We've shared our happiness,
our sadness,
madness,
but still things we got to tell each other daily is never less,
I guess that that's because you're the best..
..a diamond among the rest..

I won't ever let this flip..
..never let you weep
never let go of our unconditional friendship...

Happy Birthday Bestie,
Kripi Mehra ^^
