GROWING UP

Growing up is like running in a maze looking for a way out
Everyone seems to know exactly how you need to turn out except your self
There are these moments when you feel lost and as if no one will ever understand you
This feeling like you need to figure out the society and yourself right won't leave your back
You sometimes feel like you are wading in mistakes
Sometimes you feel trapped in choices and lanes defined for you
Know that a lot of people understand
Even so they will still have an opinion of how you should turn out
However, you have the power to decide how you become
A time comes when things start getting clear
When you start feeling like you are actually in a place that you need to be but for a while
But this constant need to keep moving never leaves
The responsibility for your launch for the next destination never leaves your hands
Your present is your handy work
Your future is clay before you to mould
No one is responsible for who you are or will become
Yesterday is gone and had very little to do with what tomorrow will look like
Your yesterday self is dead
Your tomorrow self is not yet born
Live now and bequeath your tomorrow self a better station

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
