My paper boat,...

I stand aboard my paper boat

How i longed this very day

Rough and stormy yes i know

thats what makes a harder fight

As it sways i do not fear

i have sailed through windy seas

I tip my cherished sailors hat

A haughty smile that says it all

A cruel wave.. a fleeting swipe

sank my beauty to the depths

As i sit and cry i think

is this me.. that captain brave ?

Again i wait a rainy day

I'll win next time... just you wait

TrApS'

In between...

There is a place thats in between

Thats gray but never black or white

Devoid of happy glowing smiles

And all the sad and lonely tears

For in that place i am lost

I know not where i am

Should i find a side thats mine?

Should i find the narrow line?

But i am content being lost

Neither happy... neither sad

Till i find a reason why

How can i find myself again ?

I do not hope or long for smiles

Nor do i fear my future tears

Let it come to me as i

Walk on somewhere in between

You don't need to be happy or sad..you just need to let it find you.. then decide which side you are on... cos thats something only you can choose..

I ask why ...

Hear a scream thats drenched in blood

Feel its torment in my own

Was it just another day ?

Did i know I'd feel this way ?

As the cries grow louder still

My anger wants the reason why

This blood was spilled for a bearded soul ?

Is this in the name of God ?

You burn yourself to kill again

And you let them lead you thus ?

You use his name to kill his own

You pray to see another's blood ?

These cries of pain will break you too

Be sure of that you craven fools...

The train

As i stand and wait my train

I see a face a smile so fine

As the wheels began to turn

She waves her hand to say goodbye

As the train moves slowly away

She tries so hard to hide her tears

The train is already far from sight

Still she waves with all her heart

She looks away her face so sad

Where is the smile i thought i saw

She walks away and tries to smile

She knows inside he will be back

As i take my seat on board

I realize i am going home

I start to see to my favorite smile

Waiting for me all this while

I started out wanting to tell a story but as i reached the end i knew thats its not just my story...

My old friend

I walk around those old tree roots

Gnarled and twisted like my own

It once hid my smaller self

From many an angry soul i knew

The branches seem to know me still

I know it tried but still i fell

Taught me how to fly so high

It all started with that swing

Now it makes me small again

I see the past i long forgot

Lost i know are those days

i remember like my friend

As i cut him to the ground

Dont know why.. i start to cry

TrApS'

That distant song

A distant song that feels so close

Dont know why those notes seem mine

As i move between the lines

I feel its longing deep inside

I feel a sorrow thats not mine

I yearn to know the reason why

Sung through tears but with hope

As it fades I know why

I see her smile her face so near

Sing that distant song i hear

As i start to leave i know

That song.. that hope will take me home

What’s within..

I tell myself… get away

Before it fetters me... to its chains

Inching closer... almost there

Wont succumb… wont give in

I try to run... but it’s still close

I turn around and see myself

Can I live to fight again?

I see my future etched in blood

The ones I love are there no more

That cold I dread... Overpowering me within

Then I see it… I know it now

That I fear nothing but fear itself

Another arrow in my heart

I pull it out and make it my own

For I now know its only fear

Only fear and nothing more

I will live… but braver still

I can win… and I will
