is time that passes by
each second comes
and goes
with it is our life

from which we make things happen
as and when it must be
for a time n place there is
but when we get there
is it foretold
or do we come to it by ourself
as and when we should

for each minute that passes
our thoughts come and go
for within is so much
that has yet to be told
for in our life
we do hold
so much yet so little

our thoughts motivate us
from them we do so much
or so little
in them we find solace

find despair
find trouble
find hope
find happiness
we find so much is to long a list

for in them we see much
but listen to them do we
for there are so many thoughts we have
each day comes and goes
a thought lost
a thought found

within them we are who we are
we can do anything we want
for they are our thoughts
part of who we are
for we are what we are
but have you learnt that

few have found what they seek
for have they really sought
what is within them
for that is the truth

so little be told
so little be seen
so little be heard
so little be known

do you understand it
for it is you
within you
every second
every minute
every hour
every day
your life

so lead it how you will
for one day
you may finally come to see
what it is that you seek
do you not know
then listen to yourself

not others
is for you to lead
is it not your life
to enjoy and live
othesr come and go
they be part of it

that be part of you
in whatever way you let them
for they are just a part
no matter how close or far

let them in
hold them back
see yourself
before others do

why judge others
when you have not learnt
what it really is
for life is yours

take it how you want it
live it how you want
make it what you want

things come and go
learn from them as you will
do not ignore
no matter how trivial

for everything we see
we do
we hear
we think
they all make us what we are

do you really know
who you are
for are you not yourself
or are you what others want

realise your true self
the potential that is within
for only when you learn yourself
will you understand

and so i write
from a sleepless night
thoughts going through my mind
for others to see
read
understand

that is if you can
