I CAN'T GIVE UP

The sun is still bright
The cloud is still blue
Life is just the usual husstle and bustle
Averagely I am successful
Deep inside I want to give up
I want to give up living but death is no better deal
I want to give up work but laying about offers no comfort
I want to give up looking into your eyes
But being alone is not a sweet company either
I want to tell my friends that I am not okay
But not being okay is not okay so I have to be okay anyway
I want to give up being okay and cry but I can't
I want to give up but I can't 
Not because I don't want to give up but because I am scared of what it offers
Feeling trapped between norm and escape
I want to give up but I cant
I want to run away from my self but I can't
I look at who I wish to be
That is my only bonfire amid this pain
I want to give up
But deep inside I know I can't give up

OVERSTAYED VISIT

You don't need me So I thank you for the good you have done I say it in silence That way you will not sense the silent good bye It hurts me that our business in your face is done But I will remember we were brothers I will pray for you For my prayer is that you fly high and steady in the strong winds I will not forget that you helped me And the much I am or will be will acknowledge you But tonight I will pack what I can And leave your house brother Not groaning For all of us are guests in each others lives In my case I must have overstayed my visit I hope love never grows old I will find peace when it thrives again But now It is obviously used.

THE PARADOX

The fact that the reason to hold on is bigger than the reason to give up Does not trivialize your pain The fact that you neither shed a tear nor made a sound Does not mean you never cried The fact that you smiled all through the ceremony does not mean you were happy The fact that you are alive and happy Does not mean you aren't dead A strange ghost animating your body Not your dream self The fact you woke up with a plan Does not mean you aren't drifting through life The fact that you love a song Does not mean it makes you happy The fact that you woke when the alternative seemed lucrative Tells that you have outsmarted the paradox once more

KINDRED

I wish I had a friend Whose loyalty would never bend Walk with me miles on end Be plain and never pretend A cynic who would blend But to me be a kindred A spirit that knows me Keep me and my secrets just as I would  To the very end
