Avoiding the reality is a tragedy ...
Hiding from the dreams, ambitions, and the needs ..
Deciding to live in the Dark cave of your disappoints ..
Believing that no one cares about you ..
Alone . Afraid .. Tired ..
Repeating the losses again and again ..
Just playing the sad notes on the life piano ...
Trying to play a happy song ..
But you remember again that you where Judged to stay in
your cave ..
Waiting for the savior ..
The one who will throw you the rope ..
The way out ..
Life giving or a Hanging rope ..
Just you don't know ..
But you will finish the suffering in both ..
You pray to be a life giving one .. cause you want to live
more ..
To see more .. To love more ..
It can be a cloud and it will pass ..
Or it could be blindness .. that will leave you lost all your
life ..
You should be strong .. fight to get your smile back ..
Playing a lovely song on the Piano and let the life sway
with you ..
Dance with the trees in a windy day ..
Run with the water in the rivers ..
Singing a beautiful anthem with the breeze ..
Fly with the Birds freely in the clear sky ..
I hope it work as you wish friend ..
To get what you want ..
And to loose that sadness ..
My advice to you dear .. Let it go ..
And wait ..
God will be there for you ..

" I Promised To Pretend "
- It is hard and I know..
- It is fire and I glow ..
- It is cold .. even more than snow ..
- Touching deep .. But I should move with the Flow ..
- I will pretend .. Till I know where to go ..
- Matter of months, years , decades It will pass slow ..
- Sad I will be .. but I'll pretend even though ..
- It will surround me .. a thorn in my jaw ..
- I will pretend .. and I will tolerate the saw ..
- Keeping life going on .. and trying to Enjoy the
rainbow ..
- I will pass above the fall of tears .. between the eye
and the brow ..
- Trying to rebel and break the law ..
- To carve my way throw ..
- Listening to our song instead the sounds of the
crow ..
- Getting all the memories back .. and the future
which I will draw ..
- My head high .. never get back low ..
- Making all my dreams true ..
- Moving ahead .. And forgetting about what I saw ..
- Fake characters ..and a hopeless show ..
- It is one life .. not two ..
- My believe in God everyday just grow ..
- Till he show me the way which I should undergo ..
- To that time I will pretend even SO ..

He greets everyone with a smile
A smile that spreads throughout the whole room
makes everyone happy inside.
He waves hello hesistantly, but surely
loving everyone he encounters,
giving them the caring they deserve.
He does nothing much for himself
but everything for everyone else.
He tries his hardest to make you happy
although he is not.
He cries when the world is cruel to him
but wipes them away and shows the world kindness.
Rolling up his sleeves
Cracking his knuckles
He is prepared for the challenges.

Perfection is an enemy of good.
it is a distraction to who we really are.
Anytime I think I am no good,
it is perfection stealing the moment.

If I want everything to be absolutely perfect,
in the choices I am making,
I could wind up waiting a very long time
for all the elements to come together.

I could make choices that involves some compromise.
If I remain flexible and choose compromise
over perfection,
I may find that I wind up
with a perfect situation anyway.
thats because there is no such thing as
being perfect.

I can instead focus on enjoying
the challenges of simply doing my best.
because if I allow myself to remain
at the mercy of my desire for perfection,
not only will the perfect elude me,
so will the good.

Each and every day
its almost the same
locked away for hours with
no one there to blame

secluded isolation
escape to cyber space
retiring from reality
with no one in my face

running on, no time frame
every evening, every morn
the ridicule of others
harassment, even scorn

despondent transposition
the endless, constant pain
each day, another challenge
sun streaked sky without rain

the dogs are major comfort
the cats are here and there
the rabbit loves his clover
the birds, they just don't care

writing for no reason
except to pass the time
elusive comprehension
for those without a rhyme

single, tranquil moment
illusionary thought
Angel on my shoulder
things that cant be bought

retiring from the world
full of stress and hate
paying tax to those, with
too much on their plate

imagination wandering
country, city, slums
counting up the hours
until the reaper comes

time, it does escape me
I really must admit
If you want opinion
no one gives a ****

Stepping back looking at my life and wondering,
Why have I wasted the past three years blundering,
Being to busy to think,
Like am muting my mind out with a drink.
Seeing that even in my life there is a little bit of
truth,
A drunken *** is not who I really am,
Time to start caring about my life and giving a ****,
Studying and reading books an awful lot,
Making me be the friend that most people blot
Except for a certain few,
Reason being we share the same point of view,
Learning the truth of the government and living in Cyber nation,
Able to read each others mind without hesitation,
To all my friends from the past,
Im bottling up them memories,
To the few that I have unexpended,
A helping hand will always be extended,
Knowing I’ll always have ya’ll to stand by,
The reason being we ride together.

Bottled up inside
Are the things I never said,
The feelings that I hide,
The lines you never read

You can see it in my eyes,
Read it on my face,
Trapped inside are lies,
Of the past I can't replace

With memories that linger,
And won't seem to go away,
Why can't I be happier?
Today’s a brand new day

Yesterdays are over
Even though the hurting is not,
Nothing lasts forever,
I must cherish what I've got

Don't take my love for granted,
For soon it will be gone,
All you've ever wanted,
Of the love you thought you won

The feelings I have now
Won’t disappear overnight,
But somehow, someway everything will be alright

I'm leaving now
To slay the foe
Fight my battles
High and low

I'm leaving parents
Hear me go
Please wish me luck today

I've grown my wings, I want to fly
Seize my victories where they lie
I'm going guys, but please don't cry
Just let me find my way

I want to see, and touch, and hear,
Though there are dangers, thoughts, and fears,
I'll smile my smiles, and wipe my tears
Please let me speak my say

I'm off to find, my world, my dreams,
Carve my niche, sew my seams
Remember as I sail my seas,
I'll love you all the way
sometimes, you find yourself in the middle of nowhere, and sometimes in the middle of nowhere you find yourself

— The End —
