A review

In hindsight, I realise what my fault has been. I worry about those who are not worth the worry, and don’t worry about those who really care. And that makes all the difference. Life has a funny way of teaching you things. And an even funnier way of teaching you the lessons you just don’t seem to learn on your own. Sometimes even twice bitten and thrice shy falls short!
But, the important thing is to learn from your mistakes(and those of others) when it still can make a difference. Well, to achieve that aim, requires effort. And effort, I realise, is a must now. My life has been running in circles. Going over the same problems again and again. Lack of effort and untoward expectations have been my down fall up until now. It seems, I need to concentrate my efforts in the right direction.
Instead of wasting time, analysing the past and trying to predict the future, i need to give my all to the present. Dreams are always seen, but you need to work on them to achieve them. It seems that the time is ripe to take a step in the right direction.
Firstly, I need to stop wasting my time on meaningless pursuits. Gaming, girls, popularity. These are all just chaff in the wheat called success. If you are successful, you don’t need to go looking for these things. These things come looking for you.
Secondly, I need to learn to concentrate at the task at hand. I have always been procrastinating, now I need to go ahead and Just Do It. Its much more fun having fun, if you don’t need to worry about some work you left undone.
Thirdly, I need to learn to persist. I have left too many things half cooked. I have lost steam half way so many times. I seem to have lost the confidence to finish anything ever. Its time I selected a task, saw it to the end, and hence gained back my self-confidence.
Fourthly, I need to learn to truly balance my life. I have oft misused this term.And now, its about time I actually learnt how to do it. Balance in life and peace of mind are so heavily dependent on each other, that having no balance is akin to having no peace.
And finally, I need to learn to become selfish in the good sense of the word. Stop interfering in other people’s lives, and stop trying to help them (very few times are people actually thankful for your help!). Actually think about my actions and their effects on my future, and hence prioritize my time.
I start this journey unknown of the consequences or the destination I will finally reach. But hoping, that it corrects the direction of my life enough, to justify the gifts of the lord above.

I Can

From the fire that burns the heart,
Rises a strong and new-found man,
Having faced the atrocities of the world,
He proudly states, "I Can!"

For him the world is a book
From which to learn and find,
He knows no boundaries to ability
He only knows he can

He lives and breathes, with special cause,
He has a perfect goal
He can see only the leading path
For thirst is in his soul

He can thence, fathom the lonely thought,
And become the ideal man
He lies there in all of us,
And awaken him we can!

The Going is Tough

How hard it is to control
The feelings that are inside me
How hard it is to fight
The desires which reside in me

My life is going on
Getting harder day by day
The going is getting tough
Pray, the mind doesn't stray

We had fun, so many days
Had joy, and laughter too
Had days worth remembering
And all of them, seem'd so true

Help me through these times
That have come into my life
Now the goin' is gettin rough
So please make me tough.

First Day of Dreary Distance

Your voice resounds in my mind
My heart cries a painful lore
For distance aint so easy to bear
Nor despair easy to dunk on shore

I knoweth, this the first day be
A drop in the seven's ocean
How will I bear these moments more?
Oh! They glideth past so slow

Hath you for even a moment asked,
Of my presence, of my staying back
Then, not would I have gone beyond horizon
In this voyage, having its return unknown

This place I goeth not new to me
known it since my birth and cradle
But it aint the same anymore
Alongwith you, it so far a distance be

And then my heart wonders out loud
For you - Am I a distant shroud?
Would thee be thinking of me now?
Or am I an all-forgotten sore?

Life

It comes to thou only once
This special gift of God
So do accept and treasure it
Cause it is worth it all

Your actions influence it
Your deeds glorify it
Your work encourages it
Your end defines it

Life is a wonderful thing
You're fortunate to have got it
So show how much you deserve it
Live the fullest you can

So promise never to frown
For that will waste it all
Promise to remain happy forever
For life is worth it all

The Worthy One

People say my heart is empty
There's nothing there but blood and flesh
Little do they know
Just how much I can care

There's so much love inside me here
There's so much I have to give
I have kept this stored for long
For someone who'd be worth it all

Away from the dangers of this insane world
Away from all the madnes
In a safe place, kept secret
Right inside my lonely heart

And then it happened one day like a spark
I saw something, which made me say
Could this be it?
Could this be the one I could love?

There she was standing
Wow! An angel she really was
She had to be the one
The one to get all my love

I tried to say something
Something in her praise
But she just looked so beautiful
I didn't know what to say

I could look in her eyes all day
For it was like a dream come true
Those blue eyes, they were lovely
Was I worthy of her love?

Yes, she is the one worthy
Worthy of all I can give
I just hope she feels the same
For that would just be..... it!

Is There Someone In Your Life?

People come and people go
But is there anyone in your life?
Anyone who is worth to you more than gold
Shalt thou stay alone forever?
Or shalt there be someone there?
Who shall drive your heartbeat forever

Love is like a winged bird
Always ready to fly away
So never keep it in a cage
For love will show you the way
So get on the heartbeat drive
And get ready to have the time of your life

Is there anyone, for whom you'd sweat and strive
For whom you could give your life
For whose smile to see
You could cross the seven seas
Are you ready for the heartbeat drive?
Is there someone in your life?
