RANDOM #8

though unfazed by the outrage
he has lesser shots to call
if the damage control fails
his head's going to roll

RANDOM #7

running at my pace
chasing  after no one
with more breathing space
the journey will be more fun

knowing where to go
knowing when to proceed
once I get my second wind
then I can increase my speed

running at my chosen time
I can afford to be late
being free to set the distance
I will seal my own fate

RANDOM #6

a nation in euphoria
now in a state of grief
blame game is the tune
of the commander-in-chief
claiming credit for victory
looking for scapegoats in defeat
exploiting peace as a shield
to protect his politics of deceit

RANDOM #5

damned if you do
damned if you don't
can't take a back seat
can't also stay up front

but you can't stay this way
you have to break the spell
before you taste your freedom
you've to come out of your shell

I'VE BEEN THERE TOO

“Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream. “Paulo Coelho

pain consumes your soul
i can see it in your eyes
you can’t seem to move on
it’s hard for you to realize
that like anybody else
you have your own share
of life’s tedious battles
while no one seems to care

the sea of captivity
drowns your sanity
the voices of guilt
disrupts your tranquility
darkness overwhelms
the light within your heart
your life, your world
slowly falls apart

i've been there too
i know how it feels
i've been there too
the agony is real

hope springs from acceptance
forgiveness renews our soul
you can still change things
if you'll realize your role
it’s really hard I know
coz I’ve been there too
but you can change your course
if you know just what to do

leave the past behind
don't  waste your precious time
the pain’s just a passing
quitting now will be a crime
change your perspective
look at the brighter side
you can still fight back
and heal your wounded pride

i've been there too
there’s still a way out
i've been there too
just conquer your doubts

i've been there too
someone’s out there
i've been there too
someone’s saying a prayer

YOU'RE MY CLICHE’

it won't really bother me
watching you all the time
doing the things that you like
i’ll always find the perfect rhyme
it won't really bother me
hearing every word you say
just tell me what you feel
i’ll always find a way

it’s a waste of time
if I’m not with you
my world is depressing
when you're out of my view
it feels like forever
when you’re not here with me
i'm at a loss for words
if you don’t see what I see

you’re my cliché’
it may sound a bit strange
there’s nothing I can do
there’s nothing for me to change

haste makes waste
so I need to take it slow
the writing on the wall says
i've to go against the flow
no matter what happens
at the end of each day
this maybe sound repetitive
but i'm with you all the way

you’re my cliché’
it may sound a bit strange
there’s nothing I can do
there’s nothing for me to change
