a little romance with life

This is based on a dream I had last night. Hope you like it :) In the middle of the market, at the center of the crowd I stood there crying my little heart out It hurt alright, it hurt too bad, A pain suffered too long, a memory too sad People walked, immune to the pain Nobody turned to even look again Nobody tried to figure why I stood there alone Was it too much, to want some love? I cried as I walked, the tears dripping down my face A sudden outburst to cold bitter days And out on that street, at the center of another crowd A different soul crying, screaming so loud Again the people passed, somehow too deaf and too blind As I stood there wondering, why that soul had cried My eyes saw those tears, those eyes saw mine And somehow we knew, everything would be fine For as people went, content in being alone Some people make you realize, you aren't alone And though the pain grew no less, a realization came That on the...

You know what my problem is? I’m not looking to be saved. I’m not waiting for you to save me Or get me out of a mess No, it’s not like I don’t get scared Neither are there are no things that make me fall apart But deep inside, I realize, I’m a fighter I will fight the things that make me cry Till I can smile again And I will fight the things I fear Till I fear them no more That is what my problem is Or more precisely, the problem you have with me Cause I just don’t need you to bring a smile on my face I’m happy by myself And I can love you with all my heart But if you don’t love me I won’t crush and crumble to the ground Or listen to melancholic words all day My life isn’t a carnival of sadness and misery I’m just not looking for you to be saved Cause deep down inside I’m a fighter you see I fight the things that threaten to break me And I’m strong and weak and hard and soft But I just ain’t the giving up sort So push and pull an...

To Future Me, You got through it all na? The joys, the sorrows; the sweet and the sour? I KNEW you could do it! I know you must be rocking the world! I'm sure you are! I look at you, and I know I can't wait to be there, right where you are. I know it's gonna take years of MY hardwork to create YOU, but it's gonna be worth it. I look at you, and I know you're making a change. Changing lives for the better, and nothing makes me feel more proud! You finally have your 'magic beans' too! Yayee! And the book you published, the dream you've had seen forever, you made it come true! And when I see you, I don't just see a career-driven, change-driven, independent strong person; I see so much more. I see you travelling the world, learning things, reading books, watching movies, going to clubs, AND I see you going on ROAD TRIPS! Just the way you always wanted to! Seriously, I can't wait to get there. And yes, you did find him didn't you? Somewhere, som...

If I had just one wish that would surely come true I'd awaken his heart who thinks violence is a solution The man who bombs, and guns, and kills I'd awaken him who has lost all compassion I'd open his eyes to the suffering he has caused To the tears of children, to the numbness of a mom Who lost their parents and little kids To the gruesome killings of his bloody bomb I'd show him that he killed not just one when he shot him down He killed all those beautiful lives that he had ever known He killed his parents, his lovers and friends When he killed one, he had killed a hundred by the end I'd show him what a wreck he himself has become Hiding from the world, scared of what he has done I'd awaken him to the depths of his soul An empty, barren place where he now stands alone I'd awaken his heart that has been dead for too long I'd awaken him to a mind that tells him he is wrong I'd awaken his feelings that he hasn't been able to find I'd awa...

The Word Called Hope Recently I was busy reading a book called Man's Search for Meaning By Victor Frankl, a well known psychiatrist, a man who had seen the horrors of a concentration camp where people, most often than not, lost all their emotions, self respect and more so hope. It is indeed painful and sad to see what man can do to his brothers for the sheer greed of power. Yet Victor Frakl brings out to us concepts that have been observed in such situations and are now being used for our overall good under a psychiatric therapy called the Humanistic-existential therapy. He, in his book, focuses on how he survived during those times, how people around him survived, what kept them going and in a greater sense, what keeps us all going.   On the first page of the book the author makes the reader aware of one simple question that he, during his practice, had asked his depressed clients, ''Why don't you commit suicide?'' he'd ask. Ask the question to yourself ...
