Till love makes everything right


When nightmares wake you crying,
I will give you dreams to sooth
Your fears, and all that's frightening
Till we have gone through the night.

When darkness leaves you blinded,
I will hold you as I guide
Your way, and the path winded,
Till we have found the first light.

When life breaks your spirit,
I will take you in my soul.
Together our hearts will meet,
Till love makes everything right.




Till we have gone through the night,
Till we have found the first light,
Till love makes everything right.

Just Laugh


First smile, then grin.
From a chuckle, laugh.
Just laugh.


Smile. In the face of frustration.
Smile on. Look back not in anger.

Grin. When you meet with depression.
Keep grinning. Be sad no longer.

Chuckle. When you get useless aid.
Chuckle more. When life just gets rough.

Laugh. At death. At the dying. The dead.
Just laugh.

Acceptance is Not Giving Up


Acceptance is not giving up.
Martyr, you helping the hopeless
Will not make you any less weak.
Accept: sometimes life is a mess.

Acceptance is not giving up
Martyr, solve not the world's problem
When you're already a mistake.
You can't understand. You're not them.

Acceptance is not giving up.
Martyr, you are only human.
Give up playing God, it's futile
Learn to accept the foresaken.


She Said


She said we've grown up, she loved us enough.
She said she was tired, everything's too tough.
She said she was ill, both body and mind.
She said she was hurt, They should've been kind.
She said Daddy was a bad man. Bad. Bad!
She said the thought of him made her so mad!

No one heard her spoke-
So she slit her throat.

Still


She was always taught to obfuscate.
Now she's left alone to suffocate.
Silence. I watch her, movement so still,
I watch her, drowning at her own will.

I watch her- watch her as she watched them.
In silence, in calm, as the doors slam.
The two doors never opened. Shut out,
She shut herself up. Learnt to live without.

She sees me. She's silent. I watch her.
Slowly she sinks. Ripples on the water.
The surface is still again. Flawless.
Once more unaffected by the caress.
