Thank you

Thank you
I thank you everyday
Like brushing
Like bathing
I need to do it everyday
to put my toxic love for you away
To live and go through another day
I thank you
I thank you everyday
I thank you for the pain
That I wake up with everyday.
I thank you for the hurt
Everyday,  Monday to Sunday
I thank you for your lovely manners
And your sweet tongue
It makes the hurt more profound
Like putting salt on a fresh wound
Thank you for everything
The flirting
The smiles
My tears thank you everytime they fall
It helps my heart find release like Nature's call
Hope I can stop thanking you someday
I hope before I stop breathing comes that day.
You think we don't say thank you enough
So I thank you again
You just made my day
Like yesterday,  today,  everyday

I am

I dream with open eyes
I aim to touch the skies
My energy is immense and profound
The world is my playground
I will achieve my goals
I will set new milestones
I am aware I am my greatest enemy
Only I can unleash the power within me
Let me dig deep within
Attain calmness amongst the din
I am the greatest
I am the best
I am what I want to be
I create my own destiny

Stop to Think

When you are dying but not dead
When you are living but not alive
Its time to stop a moment
And wonder what life is all about
A happy heart
A simple soul
A clear mind
Should perhaps be your only goal

Independence

Run like the wind
Dance like the snow
Go places
Go where you have not gone before
Life is short
Few precious moments to smile about
Be happy
The world is not your judge
Nor was it meant to be

Am in love

Am in love with your soul, not just your body

Am in love when you are angry, not just when you are nice to me
Am in love when your hair is all messy, not just when its all perfect to see
Am in love with the way you get excited over a new book
Not just when you try a new look
Am in love when you are upset over something
Not just when you make me feel important
Am in love when you are in doubt
Not just when you wear a new piece of jewellery
Am in love with your eyes when they are all red and teary,
not just when they are buffed and ready.
Am in love with the way you try to get your way with me
not just when you smile at me
Am in love with that girl who bares her heart to me, and not just the strong, independent woman the world knows her to be

Silence

Silence is golden
Nothing much to say
One more reason
To go away

Not to Be

You live with your demons
You live with your worries
You say your thanks
You say your sorries
Your mind is a library
Its how it stores the story
In the guilty section
Does it find a mention
Or is it a happy memory
Life is a series of steps
With as many missteps
You meet your enemies
And friends in need
Or some plain acquaintances
And some who are not meant to be 

Last Day

If you knew that you will live only for one more day
Would you do what you are doing today
Would you stay late in bed
Or rise early instead
Pack more to do during the day
Or watch the sunset by the bay
And what would your mind be
At peace with tranquillity
Or wonder what life could have been
And lament over missed opportunity

Down the memory lane

Big walk down the memory lane
With all the baggage,  sunglasses and the walking cane
The legs seem like lead
Refusing to walk ahead
How far you turn back
To those memorable days
That just seemed like yesterday
That skip of heartbeat
That rush of emotions
Still the same today
As was yesterday
Footprints on the Sands of Time
Erased but firmly entrenched in our mind

When I Die

When I die
Don't cry for me
When I die
Don't smile for me
I may go to
A better place or not
But I don't want
You near me
I don't want to see your radiant smile
And remember you don't want me
I don't want to see your beautiful heart
That doesn't beat for me
I don't want to hear your mind's beautiful thoughts
That never think of me
Alone I am
An island I want to be
But one thing I know and regret
Is that I really love you
And wish that feeling wasn't within me 

An Empty Heart

An empty heart
In a crowded world
A simmering fire
In an island of cold
Standing in rain
To hide the tears
Sitting amongst friends
To hide all this loneliness

This void, its so deep
Can't seem to fill it with my oceans of tears
Drop by drop Tears are falling
Onto a Heart that's aching
Bit by bit I am dying
From all this crying
Should I thank you
For the pain in me
All this pain
That hurts so bad
I wish I never had
If I could  I want to rest
This burden in my chest

Life has so little meaning
Is living just breathing
Trying to cope
When there is no hope

How do I explain all this
When I know you won't understand this
Maybe it is easier to pretend
As if none of this matters
Fake a smile
Than bare my heart to someone
Who feels but refuses to admit it
You are near
But so far from me
If tomorrow I am not there
I hope you miss me
