I’m still searching for me

Let me dwell in my solitude
Let lonesomeness run its reign
Your sanity drives me crazy
Let me just stay insane


There’s a reason I stay aloof
There’s a reason I walk away
All that you wanna become
I have long shunned away


Deem me, a loser, I care less
I just wanna quit the chase
I ain’t fighting for the crown
I ain’t getting back in the race


You chase the joys of life
Let them lead you to ecstasy
I ain’t interested in anything
I’m still searching for me


~Shunyatha

Free Will

It’s happened before
It’ will happen again
Why then your heart fears
Why shed tears of pain


Ages lost in misery
Denying the truth
Why bother to rebel?
Waste your blest youth?


Why build the castle in air,
Dream of a distant shore
When descend is in order
Why even aspire to soar


Life shall not heed, no man
Nor be taken, or shun’d away
Fight all you want, as much can
It’s bound to end anyway


It follows its own course
The path you call Destiny
Why yearn to resist it
Why deny the eventuality


You may choose to believe
Live in the web of lies
Free will, but, is an illusion
Mere a cloak around your eyes

The Snake & The Charmer

He lived with a snake
Knew his life was at stake
So he licked venom each day
Till he was immune one day


He fed it half of his earning
Yet it stayed bitter and burning
He made it dance to his tune
That made it weak and swoon


It yearned for revenge
And chose to avenge
So deliberately it bit
Till he would catch a fit


He let it play the game
Hoping he can tame
But venom in blood rose
He bled from his nose


A drop more would kill
Knowing he made a will
No mercy for the rival
It’s a battle of survival


He caught it off guard
Crushed its head hard
Then strode along his way
To live for another day

- Shunyatha

Lets....

Let not your head sink in sorrows
For you won’t see what lies ahead
Let not your spirit crumble ever
For then you are as good as dead

Let not your feet give in to darkness
Only then will you find your way
Let not your eyes succumb to the night
And you will see the light of the day

Let not your mind worry over fate
For that keeps changing all the while
Let not your face get used to frown
For soon, it’ll have a reason to smile

Let not your heart lose its faith
For I’ll shadow wherever it goes
Let not your soul doubt me ever
For I am the one who knows

Let me take you to another world
Cross this bridge that’s in between
Walk with me for I know the way
For where you are today, I’ve once been
