ALIVE


He wonders how the journey will end
It is long since he started the long walk to independence
Independence is the one thing that seems so elusive
Because it is natural to be dependent and interdependent
‘‘No man is an island’’ was wisely said
But an island is all he desires to be
Standing alone in the sea with the strength to stand the winds and tides of time

In the quest for independence
He realises that he has developed more interdependence
He is needed more and more he needs
Independence is such an evasive beauty
One so hard to attain in this predatory world
Finding middle ground is always an infinite aim

Self-reliance seems a better goal
Good judgement and unapologetically being alive
Reaping the fruits of personal genius
And suffering the wrath of life for folly
Making mistakes and learning from them
Respecting each one and varied choices
Depending on personal judgement in the interdependence

DARK

He sits alone in a silent corner of a dark room Trying to make sense of everything Everything is senseless at that moment Life seems to be worth everything Yet everything is worthless in his eyes He wonders why God had to make life in the first place and hopes it is not blasphemy No one wants to step on the toe of God more so those who hope heaven will offer a better home He is ashamed to admit that deep down he longs to be home Home is not this dark room filled with self doubt, anxiety and sorrow Home is where in the least he feels nothing Everyday he tells people to keep hoping but he  has lost all hope The only hope he has is that he will one day hope again Not hope to be rich or famous But to be happy for just a moment He hopes to slip over on his happiest day That is his dream He calculates how best to make his wish come But such days are to pracious to waste on fatal thinking He looks up to God Hoping not to offend Him and he prays for hope He prays that someone would listen ...
