Falling Over...
I see the evening submerged in the colours of the night ,
And the sun being sea dipped in front of my sight...
It's the time when your memories again start a fight...
May be we could have held on to make it all right...
But now that it's all done and dusted,
I try every moment to come out free than being arrested...
Your every thought now pinches me deep within...
Loving you true was my only sin...
All I have been doing is putting up a fake smile..
Without you it's been a hardship to walk even a mile...
No, I am not asking you to come over again,
I am just praying that you feel my pain....
Am sure it will be very slower,
But you will realise it too what's falling over....
-Born Maverick
touch the air and soul
There was a bird
Who had no soul
But flew with those
Who did
He longed to be
Like the rest
But he was damned
And knew it true
Yet he still flew
Side by side
Like birds do
To sing a song
The song would float
Through the air
To touch the ears
Of all that were near
They all heard the
Sad Sad notes
That fell from the bird
Who had no soul
Foolishly Lonely
Far too often I feel like the outcast. Yes, I am different from everybody else! Amen! Why should I be ashamed? Yet, there are days where I throw a pity party for myself. Alone of course, nobody seems to agree that I don't have any friends, so they don't bother showing up. Instead they pull me out and we celebrate being different together.
Despite this, the world just keeps dragging me down. You're so weird. Why on Earth did you say that? Like they care. In this situation there is only One that can yank me from this sad fiesta. He always reminds me that it's okay to be different, because He made me to be my unique self. I feel like He is constantly scolding me. "What power do your words have over who you will become? I created you as you are, my masterpiece. Are they more powerful than I am? Why are you swayed by the cruel things they say? I love you, even if they do not." When I feel alone, there is another entity inside my heart that stomps it down. Why should any of us feel alone? When the One that has been waiting for us to see Him since long before we first opened our eyes is right by our side, still waiting for us to know Him. God's love is far greater than any feeling of loneliness. This fact is what I hold on to for survival in this world full of mean words.
From Reflections to Realities
What if we had never seen our reflections in mirrors since birth?
Would we be self-assured in our self-worth?
Would we still fall victims to the ills of peer pressure?
Would we be confident or wary of comparisons and its associated torture?
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion
Hence why beauty is in the eye of the beholder
But could we be brave? Could we be bolder?
To rise above the negative rhetoric and keep our composure
Like real soldiers – heads held high despite the weight of the world on our shoulders
You see it’s really a matter of Depth perception
That causes our self-deception
If you stand too far off we skew our own vision
And then accept what others have adjudge to be our imperfections
But if we stand too close to the picture frame
It’s more or less the same, just that we’re the ones finding the blame
We interpret our own differences as “flaws” and deem it as shame
Instead of viewing it as our own special uniqueness worthy of appreciation and acclaim
But when we adjust our stance to the right distance
And fix our focus; there is absolutely no stopping us
As we realize the Master piece that’s always been before our eyes for all our lives
And I can’t help but get the impression that from hereon
We will turn our reflections into realities
And not subjugate ourselves to the demeaning descriptions from society
Lessons from water
Learn from the water.
Give life.
Be fluid.
Dissolve all things,
well, most things.
Be generous.
Evaporate your anger.
Go with the flow,
or against it,
wherever your Gravity takes you.
Reflect light
and create rainbows.
Let nothing cut through you.
And if they ever try,
splash in joy.
If anyone ever thinks
they can step over you,
drown them.
Then forgive them.
Don't give in.
Simply give.
Take some
and give forevermore.
