Meet The One
Years ago, someone cursed me
You are of nothing to do
On my way to meet him again
Shouldering all words since then
Toiled myself to prove I am something
Those were immature childhood days
But heavy on heart to bear them
On and off remembered him
In each setback, I checked was he true
Later I tested someone words
If you cheat someone atleast benefited
But if you cheat yourself you will be runied
In every walk I heard to myself
Placing me centre of all
Enjoyed each day and night
However each move brought me
Near to the Paradise that I desired
Let this travel come to an end and
Ease my heavy heart burdened
Years ago with the words
'You are of nothing to do'
Thank the one extrinsic motivator
Who helped me in keeping big fight.
Verse 1:
You can cast your worries on me, babe.
'Cause it's safer in your arms.
This place is our safe haven.
Where do we go from here?
Chorus:
You held the world
At your fingertips.
Yet, I cannot seem
To let you go so easily.
Verse 2:
I won't care
As long as
You are here with me.
I smile at the
Thought of us.
Bridge:
Let's take this chance
And make it our's.
'Cause you're mine to keep
And I: your's to keep.
Last-Chorus:
Let's start from here
Lose the past.
Change our minds.
Take a chance on us.
Sometimes, I realize how different I am.
A shape that doesn't fit into any one particular place
Odd man out
When I look back on how versatile I've always been
Lots of different cliques, not a singular type of friend
Expending everything I have to be someone people want to talk to
But for what?
What am I searching for?
I can identify so many beautiful things that I have
In real life
A short few people who actually love me, for me
When I need them, they come through
In depth long conversation
Or just a simple cup of coffee because they're near
These are tried and true relationships
Sometimes I realize how different I am.
The tallest tree in the forest, towering above those who directly surround her
Or the tiniest grain of sand, undifferentiated, lost in an endless desert
So much the same, but uniquely separate in perspective
Nothing better, nothing worse
Just different...
If I had the choice to be somene else, in another place, another position
I wouldn't think twice before turning it down
I realize this isolation is an opportunity to turn myself around
I was once lost, and once again I will be found
I know I won't find myself in the struggle of another
So, I'll stop attempting to drown myself in the company of others
The silence, the absence, the willingness to be with me
The effort, The choice, The solace
It's become my sole necessity

Just remember you're not alone
I know how you feel
My heart was once stone
One day your heart I will capture
It I will not steal
Your heart I won't rapture
Your wounds I'll heal
Your tears I will dry
Your fears I'll take away
I promise we'll get by
I promise we'll make it to the next day
I promise our hearts will fly
Just promise you'll stay
Our hearts will join as one
Come take a walk with me
My tears weigh a ton
Lets set our minds and feelings free
To face my fear I have won
Lets have people see
We're having all the fun
Our relationship will remain
Our love will forever be

She is the one who betrays
She is the one who lies
She is the one who plays
Those silly games that wry
For she was apart of my tree
For she was at the table with me
For she was the strength
That gave me great length
Now she's gone
When she broke off
And went to the thorn
That was forn
The Tree!
Peace among humans is a must
But all we share is a look of disgust
Disrespect and lack of trust
Peace among humans is there
So little, to find is very rare
But nobody seems to care
Peace among humans is wanted
But everyone is simply blinded
By hatred and frighten
Peace among humans is desired
From everyone who inspired
Other with love whom conspired
...
Truer words could not be said,
Nor rainbows beamed from flesh unwed,
To know one's soul, and hold its light,
From hands of love such sparks ignite,
If I lay me down to sleep,
And leave this vessel, please do not weep,
For love like ours n'er be denied,
Behind the veils of moments cried,
If I wander do not be pained,
For it is this love that I mean to sustain,
Close thine eyes and feel this heart,
For its been yours at my very start,
Before the sun shined light on earth,
The seeds were planted for love's birth,
And you and I became as one,
To live this life that has begun,
Hold it tender, love it sweet,
Until again our lips will meet.
......
One in front, two behind.
Two in front, one behind.
Look back -
There are many behind.
As a team or individually?
How shall this race be won?
The longer I run,
The longer the race goes,
The longer the finish line is in sight.
The longer it is in sight,
The closer it may be.
O my mind! How it plays evil tricks!
The heat on my head,
My body, my hands, my legs.
O how my chest beats
With thy heart trapped in its cage.
How can I bear this pain any longer?
How much further must I run?
How many more obstacles must I pass?
Closer now I get,
Many more, yea, I hath passed.
One passed, one more to block the way.
One trouble gone, seems another has arrived.
A burden is rid, yet another takes its place.
The impatience grows inside me,
Yet the humbler I feel
As my feet hit the ground
One by one.
One by one is how the race is won.
One by one, each second is gone.
One by one, each step closer to the finish.
One by one, each obstacle is passed.
One by one, each round is done.
