Carve out your own destiny,
They said!
But gave me a bag of clay!
How could I do anything,
When by their rules I was to play!

Change what you wish,
But keep everything the same!
Conditions such painfully untenable!
How can someone be so cruel,
And make us feel expendable!
As I walked along,
This path you told me was life!
Stumbled I did sometimes,
Attempting some dignity in strife!

How can one try
Try to he sane!
When we have already been,
Told nothing in the end will remain!

And they say it's not the destination,
Its a journey to the far beyond
How does one take time,
To ponder and respond to each demand!

Where is the energy,
Are you not tired?
As every story is the same!
Why is there then no synergy,
In what's with us, that you let remain!

Broken pieces,
Like shards of glass they pierce my heart!
Unable to bear.....
...this ceaseless pain!
Wondering if it'd ever depart!
In the confusions,
That I try to navigate!
No stars, gloomy is the night!

Elegant as my moral compass be,
There is no port in sight!
Beyond the horizon,
Where ever that may be,
I know not what the new day brings...
... Lost I am in my own hurricanes,
The lonely mariner in me sings!

Not wanting to hurt,
Not wanting to anger!
Eager to impress all that be!

But failing and falling,
Countless times now!
No rhyme or melody,
Still I sing!

May be the crooked memories,
Or dreams of what could be!
May be the tunes,
That bring solace!
They seem to ring my ears,
They sing only to me!

Wishing no burdens any longer,
In the chaos and still somber!
The silence of the storms,
I face with a brave face!

So what if the end...
Be just another disgrace....!

Blisters scour the feet,
Walked barefoot so long!

In love with the journey all along,
Not one place wanting to belong!

Taking in the pain with gay abandon,
Spirits always at a unrelenting high!

I will survive,
I will survive,
Never bothered to check why!

Sins of my past...
Won't let me move on!
But wear them here with a bagde of honor!
Vain I am in my own own failures,
Pitch drunk high for as long as I remember!

Why when will matter,
Little blisters will I?

They just adornments,
Of some great adventure!
As I move on to sin again,
Cos what's past
I don't wanna remember!

This journey never ceases,
It carries on!
As long as the breath persists!
Stinging pain and what else,
Carry on.. Carry on... I insist!

Have I ever wondered,
Pondered on what I may have lost!
Have I ever tried,
Atleast attempted to surrender,
Why so much

Through all the highs and lows,
Through all the moments past before!
No matter what as left as a aftertaste,
No matter what was useful and waste!
You stood by me,
You stood by me!
No matter how it all ended,
No matter what upheaval unintended!
Through all the pains and sordid times,
No matter what got left behind!
You stood by me!
You stood by me!
When there was no other,
We counted on one another!
From moments of happiness and of joy!
You stood by me!
You stood by me!
Now at the precipice or change,
This feeling,
Oh so strange!
No more there are miles to go,
There's no hurry, let's take it slow!
Will you stand by me,
Will you stand by me!
Here we are now,
Closing another chapter,
One more ode to a unspoken disaster!
May next time, the things will change,
Will you stand by me,
Will you..

Have you a little time,
There's a old tale to repeat!
Of a little boy,
With great kings he set out to compete!
Little did he know,
How it'll end!
But he stuck to his values,
Only on them he would depend!

Brought into this world,
His origins to him were unknown!
Taken out of a river,
In a flowery basket!
Truth hidden from him,
Though he never sought to ask it!

He had this divine earrings,
And armour made of gold!
Would protect him from everything,
Hot warm or cold!

Immense strength in his arm,
So well known for his fortitude!
Kindness and benevolent,
Those defined his attitude!

Never stepped back,
No matter what the task!
All one had to do,
Was go to him and ask!

He though hadn't wished,
Nor dreamt of life would bring!
One day straddled between evil,
As he would meet his end,
As a mighty king!

He wasn't a emperor,
Who could afford a taj!
An unmarked grave,
Filled with roses,
Was how he let go,
His past!

Splinters of his cane,
They poked his skin!
As he tried to balance!
The pain he felt,
On a lost loved one,
He now felt so challenged!
Those were the days,
He said to himself!
Oh those wonderful,
As they could be!
My love you shall,
Always remain,
In me and my memories!

Now he was,
Standing there!
His age too seemed now over!
Little left,
But to sigh in grief!
Gone now was his lover!

They had together,
Lived happy,
Those were some fancy times!
Filling their life with melodies,
Though they had no dime!

Smiled the old man,
Said to himself,
My love u have to go,
May be once we are reborn,
We shall continue the show!

Of a prince,
Today I tell a story!
Most in realm of mystery,
And some in foretold history!
Was he one born into royalty,
Al land with a king queen and their polity!
Growing in the lap of luxury
Not a sorrow did he know!
Getting more than what be wished for,
No wish ever came slow
Spend he would all his time,
In silly games and pleasure!
For there were no limits,
There was no one to ever measure!
Little did he know of his reverence,
Thought all good things were a measure of his innocence!
Wouldn't he ever seen,
when he had gone too far!
No one to stop him
No one to set the bar!
He was after all the chosen one,
Doing as he wished just for fun!
Times they passed,
Time watched quietly!
Good things don't last for ever,
It quipped spritly!
Still the prince took all things lightly!
Little he knew,
At the gates was a foe,
All too mighty!

Lost is a community that splits,
Floats away like a deadwood in the sea adrift!
The demise hence becomes too swift,
No cause no effect, just to hate it shifts!
Keep thy daggers in your sheath,
Let peace a chance, let live, let breath,
We do not need a industry making wreath!
Spread the message,
Words your own of mine!
It really doesn't matter,
They just words, and its fine!
Violence had never been a path,
To the divine!
Don't let in a corner,
The love be confine!
Spark a thought, lead it through,
Let it take shape, let it refine!
What good is a voice,
That finds no reach?
Sudden and abrupt it stops,
With a loud screech!
Let spread your wings,
Let experiences teach!
Life's not a pina-colada,
To be sipped on a beach!
Choose words wisely,
They cause a breach!
Not literally ofcourse,
Just a figure of speech!
