Whenever I see towards the sky,
I mostly ask the question why…
Why do all things happen in the world?
Why is it that whether a person is happy or sad can never be told?
Thousands of mind, thousands of question arise,
Still people think to be silent is always wise.
All are aware of the things going around,
But what is right and what is wrong can never be found…
There are a hell lot of problems today,
Are these not enough that terrorism is on its way?
People act as if nothing has taken place,
But there’s a lot of insecurity behind each happy face…
Still fighting among ourselves is hardly of any use,
Cause to be united is what we should choose.
So I pray before going to bed today,
That tomorrow would be a better place to live and I m sure that’s what everyone wants to say…

Life seems to go along.
Each day the sun comes up.
Each night the sun goes down.
Some days are good, some not so much.
Some days hold great joy.
Others hold heartbreak and sorrow.
As I look back on the years
I realize that there were more good than bad.
As the years went by
I was busy with husband,
Children,
Home,
Family.
And while I wasn’t looking closely,
My children grew up.
They moved out.
Some moved away.
I will always be a mother,
But not in the same every day way.
That part of my life,
The part that I had known and loved best
Had changed.
I realized I wasn’t ready.
I didn’t want this change in my life.
Nevertheless it came.

When I was a young mother;
So busy, tired, and sometimes stressed;
My father told me that someday I would look back and see
That these were the best days in my life.
He was right.

Fortunately the changes weren’t all bad.
My children had become great people.
Soon they had children and my role in life had changed again.
I am now Grandma and it is good;
So good.

So through this journey of change,
I have come to realize that it is inevitable and unstoppable.
Change like everything in life is really what we make of it,
How we accept and embrace it.
Growing up;
Marriage;
Children;
Grandchildren;;
And hopefully great grand children; they are good changes to look forward to.
I try to remember that always.

Desire is like a fire.
It burns within the soul
It cannot be put out
and it makes a person whole

Setting it aside would make one feel content
But contentment only happens for a while
For desire builds up
And soon, there’s more in life to aspire

Behold in life a transition
There arise such dreams and visions
Along comes the longing to fulfill
Such high ambitions

All life long builds up the desire
Until soon it will become so great
Until one will take action
Life will just seem a worthless fate.

Because of you,
I’m able to see the sunshine behind rain.
Inspiring me to get up!
And to make a new start.

Because of you,
I’m able to see the light behind dark.
Showing me the right path.
And telling me not to go back.

Because of you,
I’m able to hear the silence behind noise.
Asking me to listen.
And keep my heart open.

Because of you,
I’m able to see the stars behind dark clouds.
Encouraging me that dreams could come true…
And just keep my faith in you!

Because of you,
I’m able to laugh behind pain.
Motivating me to be strong, go on…
And success would come along.

Because of you,
I’m able to trust behind betrayal.
Reminding me not to be afraid.
And to still believe…

Because of you,
I’m able to love behind hatred.
Telling me to do the right things.
And forget everything.

Finally I’m here living my life.
No more questions lingering in my mind…
Cause I have found the truth behind all the lies.
And I want to keep it ’til the end of my time…

Gonna start running,
Not going to look back.
Gonna show the world my strength,
Gonna get my life on back on track.

Never giving up,
Never giving in.
to the pain in my heart,
or the cuts deep within.

Staying strong,
even though it stings.
And though unstable,
I’m still able,
To make a new beginning.

I am who I am.
Do I like who I am?
Sometimes I’m happy
with who I see-
in the mirror ,
looking back at me.
But at times
there’s an emptiness…
a feeling like I’m
an absolute mess.
Why that is?
I don’t know.
Perhaps it stems back
from long ago,
when I was a child.
But I was so loved
and wonderfully cared for.
Why this confusion?
I don’t know.
But I am slowly learning to let go…
I don’t want chaos or hostility,
just peace and tranquility.
I’m on my way …
to discovering
who I
really want
to be…
I feel…
free!

I know that people don’t understand what you’re going through
But I can, cause let me tell you that I’ve been there too
Every time you wake up in the morning, and wish that you didn’t
Every time you go to sleep at night wishing that you’d die in it
Damn, the pressure that they give to you to hold on your shoulders
I know it’s hard, and will only get worse as you get older
But don’t waste your time trying to figure a way outta this mess
Cause that’s what life is, unfair, hard, and full of stress
And I know that what you want is to no longer live
But listen child, you’ve got a long way to go, and so much to give
Forget the people that hurt you, put all that bullshit behind
Step up, be grown, and control what’s going on in your mind
Cause as I told you, there is no way outta this mess
So might as well sit down, take it in, and consider yourself blessed
