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

Life of Change

All my life I changed a little
A little for mom, little for dad
Even a little for my bro and sis
For they too felt I was little bad

Thought that was it, but I was wrong
The change went on and on
A little for my teacher, little for my pals
I kept changing from dusk to dawn

A little for the girl of my dream
A little for the kids that she gave
A little for the people next door,
For the society that taught me to behave

I kept changing to please the “Others”
Lived for them like a slave
I would have been happy being “Me”
If only I had been a little brave
