The Universe and You


When you get what you want, someone looses what they need
While you sacrifice, someone succumbs to greed
When you give up, someone gives in
and when you loose, someone somewhere surely has to win
when you sing a song, there will be few who won't sing along,
and when you're too weak to stand, the oppressed might grow strong
While you give birth, someone might lose a friend
if you just experienced a beginning, someone just saw the end
when you send out a rhetorical question, someone out there hears you
and the answer that plays in his mind, may be tele-ported back to you
if you just found a confidant, someone out there faced brutal betrayal
while you give life, somebody somewhere kills
when a door opens up for you, it is slammed in some doomed person's face
and when you give up, someone might actually win the same race
While you like the thrills of the outdoors, someone wants to stay in
while you sport the saddest frown, someone just found a reason to grin

The universe has it's way of balancing itself perfectly
it's gives to some, and takes from some
Some are smart and some are dumb
but still the world goes around, and eventually, happiness is always found
whatever conspiracy the universe has in store for you, it'll send it across the earth in your way,
and whatever decisions it influences along it's way will be mere ripples to the actual wave
touching some other life and changing it's course
inspiring people, pushing them forward with force.
we live on a planet, who knows her way around
In fact she's keeping that balance, to keep us on the ground
the next time something is snatched away from your hands
remember, the universe has something else in store for you, a mightier plan.

The Mighty One


I sail alone in the powerful blue
and allow myself to row towards you
and when the tides and wind don't let me win
I'm misled in a direction of sin
and when the storm comes, and the water gets wild
I pray that you protect this child
for every wave I push behind
it is you I'm trying to find
Every wave that hits my boat,
is nothing but an obstacle i need to cross
you've send them my way
cause you know I can stay
afloat and alive, through night and day
the waters are cold, and freeze me to the bone
but knowing you're waiting for me, makes me go on
knowing, when i see you, I won't be alone.
My entire life is a journey towards you,
and everything I do, is for your happiness
and when the sea gets too rough and I need to stay still
I'll let down my anchor, and obey your will
Your my anchor when the ocean threatens to kill
You'll walk the remaining waves towards me, you'll find me, I know you will
Cause from the day you put me here, my entire life has been a journey towards you
and it is only for you I gave my very best
It is only in you, I will find my rest.



A Betrayer Within


I can't imagine what it's like for you
to have your body betray you that way
when it takes on a mind of it's own
and decides to not let you have a say
when a part of you decides to play a game
and begins to act irresponsibly
immediately every other part of you retaliates, 
and on the outside you try to keep a straight face
but on the inside, their ruining your hearts pace
slowly but surely, every part of you gets upset
Not with you, but with that naughty little cell
the one that refused to live up to his responsibility
and now he's ruined the entire system
an organization falls to pieces, little by little all because of him
and then as if that weren't enough,
he somehow manages to get everyone on his side, and suddenly
every part of you has made it a mission to destroy you.
and you fight
you fight cause you know, deep down they're a part of you
they have to hear you screaming inside
they have to feel the pain you feel
they'll fix themselves up for you, they'll fix you!
But no. They don't. 
you've been betrayed.
what do you do then? do you give up?
You would. had it not been for the parts of you that live outside.
The people who pay a vital role in the functioning of your life
people who warm your heart and make it beat faster
people who can reach out to it, touch it, and caress it
people who make the blood in your veins sing.
They're the ones you fight for now. 
Cause when  everything inside you has given up,
they're the ones who'll be strong for you.
they'll act as your lifeline, to keep you going for however long you have
and when the day comes and you have to say goodbye
say a little thank you to the ones that stayed by your side
cause when everything inside you chose to let you go
they held your hand and never let go.
If you know someone who's suffering betrayal from within
give him the love and support he'll need, this battle, to win
Cause when all hope of self-healing is gone
the healing power a friends love can make him strong
and even though he might never be well again
at least he can say, I have a friend.

For Days of Doubt


She's pressured for time.
she thinks it'll never be enough.
she believes beyond doubt that
shes the unchanging diamond in the rough.
She thinks shes stagnant, un-moving and unchanging.
She beats herself up for it, her resolve slowly breaking.
she visualizes what could have been,
and watches what really is now
and really, she wishes she could turn back time
and start all over somehow.
She sits on the last pew,
the one who'd seen her through it all.
but this time it's different. This time, she's pulled down.
on her knees she falls
and in that empty house of the mighty force, she questions her faults
she lets the pain burst out in the form of streams that hug her skin and mourn her dreams.
and as her body shakes with sobs, and chokes that overpower her entire soul
She prays to the one that brought her there and speaks out her wishes and hopes
and after she's spoken her bit, she sits in silence to acknowledge it.
She doesn't see her two guardian angels sitting just a pew away
but that's because they've told her, from her dreams ahead, to never look away
They have her back for ever and a day
she should know by now, they won't let her go astray
Subconsciously, it is those two angels that draw her to this safe place
and their whispers to each other, reach her ears
those voices she had come to term now as very dear.
and when she sits silently, with an excuse to be in prayer
she listens in on the angels there.
they speak of her strength, the one they've seen grow in her since the day she was born
they speak of her beauty, the one that radiates like the rise of the morn
they speak of how little she thinks of herself, when really she's quite a work of art
they speak of how music runs in her veins, it'll never grow apart
they speak of how she constantly thinks she's not getting anywhere
they speak of how she thinks life's unfair.
and in all that she hears from their all too intentionally loud whispers
which she knows were purposely so,
she knows their a sneaky pair, who knows just what they're here to do.
and somewhere between everything she heard them say
she decided that this was just one of those gloomy days
she smiles to herself and to her invisible force she came to talk to
and get's up, walks to the door and through.
The two sneaky angels, extremely proud and glad,
gloat in their ability to give her hope and comfort.
Diamonds in the rough are just going through a phase
passing on from one stage in life to a much better place.
she knows just exactly who those two miracles sitting behind her are
they're the ones who helped her get this far.
and with the assurance that they'll catch her, if ever, she were to fall
she strides out confidently, feeling great, empowered, and tall.
she has her moments when life hits her in the face
but she knows now, she controls her life, she sets her own pace.

Chi


There is a force
within you and around you
It resides in you and surrounds you
it is what grounds you
this little bomb of energy waits patiently to be awakened
a power so strong  yet so easily forsaken
this Chi inside you wants nothing more than consent
for that will be enough for it to branch out and vent
the secret is to look inside and find that inner strength
the one that holds you together through endless lengths
of loss and of grief, this force binds the pieces of you that threaten to break
it holds on so tight, and hugs from within, for your sake
this little chi I imagine to be a younger self,
who hasn't let age and passage of time bring lines upon her face
she's alive and high, and doesn't sit on a shelf
she's moving faster than any of us, keeping her own joyful pace
I wonder sometime's if she ever gets sad
but I guess my Chi was never made for bad
she constantly conspires to bring only the good
if she could protect me from the rest, I have a strong feeling she would
She's a force to be reckoned with
there's nothing that can crush her
she's opinionated and strong willed
Life's a life of only moving uphill
she is the only hope within me, that opens my eyes at dawn
cause she is the one who see's the hope at every new morn
when I have given up, and grown tired on the outside
My chi is what lifts my spirits, forcing me to go on.
we take for granted this little gift of good energy within us
and don't realize what she's worth
She's powerful and influential, and she give's you birth
for every time you die a little, she'll breathe life into your soul
she'll whisper to you, things that remain untold
and that breath of life is what makes you bold
bold enough to leave temporary death behind
and courageous enough to not let it take over your mind
she'll embrace you from within, making you feel secure
and she'll forever be your friend, of that you can be sure
my chi is my driving force when life slows me down
she's the bliss in me, when only boredom is found
With a force so strong with you, you can never go wrong
she'll dance and play within you, turning life's hardest moments into a song.

Ramblings In A Row


Words exceed the capability of our lips
Thoughts fabricate faster than they can be expressed
Something silences a strong opinion or view
Time does not permit, to say what I want to.
Ideas rush in, and leave in a haste
Decisions get too impatient, they've got no time to waste
Hearts feel more then they'll ever embrace
You see more than you'll ever want to face
Hunger makes you ignore taste
Prayer makes you take for granted, god's grace
Advice is too strong to be taken,
even when you know it's enough to awaken
New generations take the place you once had,
it make's you unhappy, but also in a way, glad.
Technology outsmarts the smartest of us
yet love can manage to do the same
Endearments specific to you, are used more than your name
Hearts have learned to withstand storms
and storms have learned to make hearts fail
Instant messaging makes the world smaller by the day
I can't explain how close I am, to a friend so far away
Randomness is turning out to be the most predictable aspect of conversation
and predictable conversations very randomly come up these days.
Silence between notes on music sheets are as important as the sound
and melodious sounds silence the noise within us.
Gravity has a way of keeping us on the ground
but pride make's us fly up to the 9th cloud.

Such little time and so much to say,
So this is all the rambling I can manage for today.






An Escape From Myself


I run
I run when life's walls start closing in on me,
when the pressure in the air around me gets suffocating
I run to reach a place, where sweet life can fill my lungs
I run when Life tell's me, my troubles have just begun
I run when friends build egos, as huge as their fake smiles
I run when my worries go on for miles and miles
I run when emotions get invested enough to reach in and twist my heart
I run when my soul and my body are two worlds apart
I run when my mind can't make it's mind up
I run when life doesn't fill my cup, at least when it's not enough
I run when the weather conspires to ruin my day
I run, but I don't run far away
I run from the pain, the very same pain of which I am ashamed
I run, when aside from me, I have no one to blame
I run in my dreams, when they turn dark
I run in search of light, in hope of touching even a spark.
I run from the daggers being thrown at my name
I run, when I'm sick of the haters' immature game
I run to where my heart will only gain
I run in search of a world with no pain.
I run from stillness and anything that will destroy me
I run to avoid the things that annoy me
I run to seek only what will please
I run, fool, mislead and tease
I run when the sun's rays burn my skin
I run when the demons get stronger within
I run when things too familiar turn strange
I run for fear of my issues with Change.
yet I run when things don't move with time
you can say I'm a confused soul, but expression is no crime.
It is only natural to get tired of stagnation
cause when life decides to halt at a station called Depression
all you want is to flee from life, and find refuge in Repression
Put away in a box that's bigger than it's hiding place
all those things you aren't ready to face.
Be it Change, Death, Addictions or Hate
I run when I want to get away from my Fate.
