I love nor hate

I pray nor wait

I sing but not

for someone I ought

I ought? Are you sure?

I look no more

To see if he’s coming

There’s no one there

Don’t you know?

Cant you see

As I see it?

There IS no one

There wont be him, that I’m sure of

What’s it you say?

There ought another, to be?

Oh yes? That’s what you feel?

Well, I know.

And this you should too.

Sit up, straight, you there

And listen, to what I say to you

I will not tell you words you’ve already heard

I will not chant sermons of life oh so sweetly

I tell you this, instead

Life, is too long

Too weird, not always a song

I wont preach I dare not teach

But live it all

As t’were the last

For most are, until they really are

The last, but then its too late

And you remain a lesson

Only for some other

Who wont, mightn’t and perhaps even shouldn’t, learn

For each his life has his own set of lessons

Live yours

To learn yours

Go on living

Keep showing up

Disheartened, yes

Desolate, yes

Alone, yes

Totally lost, yes

But keep living

Keep showing up

Keep going on

Until one fine day, you walk here no more

And walk elsewhere, where, we shall see

Hey ramadevi..wonder what made you write those lines..but there is so much to look forward to in life..whenever you are so depressed be grateful to god for all that u have..there are so many ppl who r not blessed with even 10% of what u have n dnt feel worth thanking god for..so enjoy n smile :)

Emotions are a strange thing, Priyanka. Sadly, when you're overcome with something, you barely ever can think of something else. I'm talking about the engulfing emotions. Everyone needs a let out. Some form of it, to ensure they don't turn suicidal or worse, murderous. People express feelings. I don't see why I'm not entitled to do the same, without feeling any less grateful to the almighty.
