The Battle

Inside me A battle rages hard
Between the dark and the enlightened
Inside me A force pulls me down
To the labyrinth of the frightened

But then You enter my mindscape
Alters my feelings And change its shape
And then I think to myself
I was lost But lucky to escape.


Inside me A child cries out loud
For his precious and lost innocence
Inside me A man feels so proud
For making my heart free-of-essence

But then You enter my mindscape
And teach me Ways to think pure
And then I think to myself
I had so much pain But had the power to endure

The Wait

Pain and pathos runs through my veins
It just won’t let me sleep
I tend to forget all in my dreams
But the cut has wounded me too deep

So I wait for the sun to rise
And for the day to begin its glory
And for the birds to sing by my ears
And help me in writing a new story.

My shoulders have started to ache
But my eyes just refuse to weep
I tend to be ignorant of the reality
But the burdens are too much to keep

So I wait for the clouds to roar
And for the thunder to stir me up
And for the rain to drench my senses
And pour some life into my empty cup.

I am tired of walking alone
On the asphalts of harsh reality
The heat waves are too much to battle with
But there isn’t any shady tree

So I wait for the wind to turn cool
And for this world to turn nice
And let the falling leaves cover me up
So that I can peacefully close my eyes.

But when will this sun lit up my dark inside
And when will these dry eyes pour down
And when I won’t have any thing to confide
And when will I leave this town?

Needs Wanted

I wanted wings to fly,
Across the blue ocean
But He gave me a hump full of water,
To wet my withered feelings.
I wanted a cozy bed to sleep
And feel that I am safe.
But He gave me nightmares every now and then
So that I’m never short of adrenaline.

But I won’t ever complain,
Coz He never gives what we want.
And I won’t cry either
Coz He never gives what we desire

I wanted a life filled with party
Where I can dance my heart out
But He gave me a window to sit beside
Humming some unknown tune
I wanted a garden in front of my house
Where I can smell water lilies
But he trapped me in this land of sand storms
And treacherous sand dunes

But I won’t stop walking
Coz He is walking with me too
And I won’t ouch at all
Coz these pains is there to inspire—

Millions, who dream of flying,
But don’t have the legs to walk.
And millions, who are not aware of there deeds
But know what they want from Him

But He don’t give what we want
He gives what we need.
