People come and go,
It's okay.

You will know the difference between the ones who want you
And the ones who don't.
But, keep in mind, they'll go eventually.
And you will be alone.

It'll be alright.

If they don't want you,
Don't hold on,
Let go.

Because in the end,
You only truly need yourself,
To Forgive,
To Smile,
and to Love.

When I'm in my pain
I feel as if I could bear
a thousand scars
and still survive.

As one realization after another
rose up in me and wrecked my mind,
while remembering their loveless behavior
I suddenly understood that
Letting go
starts with the truth.

Never recognized
Till no more to receive

The Law of Karma is very deep
As we sow, so shall we reap
The bad we do will make us weep  
And the good that we do, we get to keep

It's a Law of Action, a Law of Reaction
It's a Law that says, we get what we give  
A Law that ensures what goes around comes around  
A Law that's for everyone on this ground

The Law of Karma is born from our Dharma  
Karma is a Law, A Universal Law  
A Law that watches all our actions
And a Law that ensures the same reaction

If we plant tomatoes, we won't get mangoes  
If we plant cactus, we won't get a rose
So also if we do good, our reward will be good  
And if we do bad – what returns is just as bad

What is this Law of Cause and Effect?  
A Law that ensures the balance is perfect  
A Law that records everything we do  
Good or bad, it must come back to you

But how does this Law work, we don't know  
It belongs to the One who created this show  
It controls how on Earth we come and go  
Does it end at death? The answer is NO!

Our Body may die, but our Karma stands by  
We CAN escape our Karma – that is a lie!  
Our Mind will be reborn to live and to die  
And we will continue to suffer and cry

Death is not the end; it's just a bend  
Whatever we have done has to be undone  
If our actions are rewarded as we live – that's great  
Otherwise, the residue will decide our next fate

Is our body responsible for how we act?  
No, it's our mind that's in charge, in fact  
Thus, the Law of Karma is that of the Mind  
It's the ego and mind that suffers we find.

It carries the good and the bad that we do  
The score doesn't settle at death when we go  
Life after life, the score goes on  
The Karmic score decides how we are reborn

So should we suffer again and again?  
When will we finally escape this pain?  
We can if only we Realize the Truth  
We must get to the bottom; we must get to the root

What is our purpose of life on Earth?  
Are we just born to die and take birth?  
Where did we come from? Where do we go?  
The Law will go on till the Truth we know

Are we the Body? Are we the Mind?  
Are we the Ego? The Truth we must find  
The ignorance that's around us, we must rewind  
We are Energy of a different kind

The Law of Karma makes this world go round  
It's a Law that makes sure all's well on the ground  
The Law is for all who come and go  
Except for  those who understand this show

Those who realize we are not the body or the mind  
Those who are able – the Truth to find  
They are the fortunate few who escape from action  
For them, there is no Karma, no Law of Reaction

When bad things happen to the good, don't blink
It's the Law of Karma in action, just think  
If you plant a seed, you will face  the deed  
For what you do will come back to you

If you want to master the Law of Karma  
You must realize that the world is a Drama  
You must know you are not the body and the mind  
Then True Joy, Bliss and Peace you will find

Broken security, better left to fend for
Single motives
I didn't care, or maybe couldn't
Prolonging my litany

Bad ideas, and all encompassed
Condensed in soil
All that weight that had at one time escaped me
Rooted in
Bound limb, still barely shaking in the wind

Rushing in, though silent
In the darkness, remained for the time being
For a while after
It remained unseen, and I never let it break
Unless I were to lose more in the crest
Than in the gentle erosion

Wistful despite my destitute
Predetermination
As the hallowed ground, ebbing between the night air
Saturated in amenity
Became all it could be

Should it have a will of its own
Saturated in its bleak acceptance
Breathing in the cold satisfaction

As slow and listless as the realization that
Dawned across the shallow boughs
In the fragile shadows stretching across the
Few stragglers
Ill content to let the ground below
Starved fields
Go unrepentant, for even the time being
And slowly, I look up
See the world stretching on
It's not for
The wait
For the post-mortem
So selflessly fed that disconnect

In the morning,
I woke to this sky that was white
Brightly lit by the sun's light.
Then the temperature rose,
So rose the water droplets in the air
And now my sky was a soft blue
Reflecting all that came its way.
The show ended with all hues,
White,yellow,red,orange,blue
Creating unparalleled balance of confusion and grandeur
Just like it had planned to.
Then the sky was smeared and smudged with black
Just like the tired,innocent face of a child
After an entire day of play.
But the cold night is made warm
And it's emptiness filled
With the bright bold moon, that radiates
Like the red round dot between the jet black brows.
The tiny sparkling stars
Like the sandalwood paste on a bride's face
Shouts in celebration for all the greatness it has witnessed.

But sometimes without any rhyme or reason
The sky turns grey,
Like most of the time is my mood.
I thought it would rain,but it turned out to be like me too.
Sometimes the grey is too long
The clouds too big.
And they collide like warriors
Producing sparks from their swords.
Thus comes the lightning,the expressions on my face.
The thunder follows close,where I raise my voice.
Then finally it breaks,never into drizzles
But always a stromy rain
Causing destruction
Claiming life's on its way.
Now I have finally realized
It's better to have a drizzle every now and then
To cool the soar,instead of deepening it any more
With either the flood or the drought
