Troubled Mind May 2014
So the days are cold and your dreams won't grow
While friends move on and the world laughs at you
You say you want to keep staying strong
But you're tired waiting for the sun
Waiting for something that never comes

You want to hide your tears
You want to keep your smile
But this beast that we call life
Won't let you leave without strife

I wanna share your pain
I wanna carry you through
But you won't let me in
Just as stubborn as I am
Troubled Mind May 2014
I still seem to be searching for I know not what
And this road I am on
I know not where it leads me
And all I've got with me is hope
That I would find out in due time
That I would reach some place along the line
Just meant for me
So you know I'm in no hurry
You can tell me your story
I don't mind listening as long as you want

And if I may
Can I ask you something?
Why should it be there, always
This desire for something better
Than the things we have
Than the people we are
Will I ever feel that all I have is enough?
Why can't I just say that what I have is enough?

Lately, I've been pondering
If there could be anything out there
Better than contentment?
Better than satisfaction?
And increasingly I have come to think
That I should want
No more than what I need
Or is this just a wishful fancy?

Who wants to know the truth that leaves a bitter taste in the mouth?
Who wants to know there’s more to life than the things they want to own?
Troubled Mind Apr 2014
Sometimes all you need to do is jump
To make it across

You are always waiting on Time
For that perfect moment
You are always waiting on Inspiration
For that final push
You are always waiting on Courage
To give you wings
And still you wait

The light is fading from this place
And there is no calling back the times that have passed
Right before our very eyes
Our sinews start wasting
Our bones grow weak
Our blood loses strength
The world spins our little heads dizzy
And you know there is no cure for our mortal fates

So I guess you would have known by now
There are times when one must take a leap of faith
When second thoughts can leave you without second chances
Let not the fear of falling take your legs
And worse still, make you forget how to stand

So let go of these cumbersome apprehensions
Just let yourself go

It is good to feel the wind in your hair sometimes
Even if just for a moment, to know that you're still alive
So what if you cannot make it to the other side
And cannot bear the thought of crashing down
And so what if the thought of you hitting the ground
Makes you go weak at the knees
'Cause in the end, all that matters is
If you can pick yourself from the floor and climb back up again

I've seen that look on your face before
A thousand times and more
You don't need to always soar
You don't need wings to jump

— The End —
