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

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

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
