This meaningless race ends now

What course is this I have taken?

What is this my heart has desired? 

O how deceitful can the heart be?

I sought happiness,

That I sought with diligence,

Oblivious of the cost,

Whatever path I had to take I took,

Just so I get to my happiness,

O this heart is deceitful!!

Vanity! Vanity!!

What race is this I run?

I chase the wind,

I race with the wind,

A simpleton, my professor would call me,

True, I am a fool,

They said regard wisdom,

Get understanding even if it costs all your fortune,

Now I know the true meaning of these words,

A fool now finds wisdom,

I will not chase this again,

The wind is far to fast,

The end game? Naught!

I will choose my race again,

I will reconsider the path I take,

May happiness find me,

Even as I seek to do your will,

The will of He who sent me,

End this meaningless race,

Awaken purpose within me,

May I find meaning to my days,

May I sing of your goodness in my days. 

This I want

There is little, there is much,
I am well, I am faint,
I am happy, am not happy,
Tomorrow will be great, today was crazy,
I apologize for that, you can go to hell,
The food was great, that drink was awful,
I finally did it, I wish I could,
Dusty road, nice car,
Let’s start all over again, am tired of this,
I’ve had enough, I can’t get over this,
The sky is clear, crazy chilly today,
I prefer longer, short is better,
The world is big, global village they call it,
I love summer, winter is coming,
So much that one can do, there are no jobs,
I like loud music, books are amazing,
I like this, that is better,
 

*Today you want this, tomorrow you want another. Our preferences change often. Our likes and dislikes are relative. What I say today may not be what I meant, tomorrow. Because man is but a mind changer; changing his mind to suit his interest*

What has befallen us?

The rain will shine,
The sun will fall,
Greatness in small,
Pretty poor,
Rich and sorrowful,
The strong will fall,
The weak will rise,
The clouds will pour,
The dust will rise,
What man will be?
What man shall stand?
The meek will rise,
The haughty be stricken, 
I hope to see the day,
To see the end of the day,
Justice fails,
Injustice wins,
What curse has befallen us?
Free in chains,
Bound in freedom,
Happy in lack,
Sad in plenty,
What curse has befallen us?
Rejoice in evil,
Strain in good,
The day is dark,
The night is brief,
The world is small,
The days are evil,
When will good befall us?
When will justice find us?
The days bring hope,
When will these days come?

I will not regret

I will not regret
It didn’t go as expected,
I will not regret,
It did not work out at all,
I will not regret,
I am disappointed,
But I do not regret,
Everything happens with a reason,
Everything happens for a reason,
No room for regrets,
I could have done this,
 I could have done that,
I do not regret,
Why stall destiny over regrets?
Learn that lesson,
Become better,
Live not in regrets,
Move on already!

How do I start again?

I had you, you were mine,
Now you’re not,
I begin again,
I knew you, you knew me,
We were close,
Now we’re not,
I begin again, so do you,
We re-write our story,

Re-arrange the future,

Replace and replace,

It is not you anymore,

Forget and start again,
Our past doesn’t matter,
Better days lie ahead they say,
You go your way, I’ll take mine,
All I take from you is the memories,
I will remember you as I walk away,
I walk away not because I don’t care,
What we had was special,
But now come a time,
A time when one need take their path,
We are two on different paths,
My love I will remember,
I wish you well,
Re-writing our fantasies,
How do I replace you?
The one in my dreams,
My everyday fantasy,
How do I start again?

There shall be an uplifting

Only they that fall get to rise,

Only they that are down need rise up,

An uplifting shall occur,

Our onus is to wait and watch as it happens,

Stand our ground and watch there be an uplifting,

Though I be down today, an uplifting shall occur,

I will raise again,

I will soar to higher heights,

What can be more hopeful?

An uplifting, a rise to higher,

Dust off and prepare,

An awakening shall occur,

Prepare as the witnesses prepare as well,

The skies be your heavenly witness,

The moon to testify by night,

An uplifting shall occur,

Lest any man doubt,

The hand of the Most High has struck the valleys, they rise to level,

We walk no more in shadows of men, the Most High be our God,

We walk under the shadow of the Most High,

An uplifting by His hand,

Though we be down today, tomorrow we rise,

A new day brings a new hope,

We rise today, we rise tomorrow,

We hold on to the promise,

There shall be an uplifting.

It’s okay

It’s ok to not like something,
It’s ok to feel mad,
It’s ok to love, and sure much ok to be loved back,
It’s ok have a crash on someone,
It’s ok to want to let go,
It’s ok to reach your limits,
It’s ok to want out,
It’s ok to not suffer anymore,
It’s ok if you feel hurt and betrayed,
It’s ok, you can get over it,
It’s ok to not fight anymore,
It’s ok to not hang in there anymore,
It’s ok to demand an explanation, and if none is coming,
It’s ok to want out,
It’s ok to not be the one pulling things together always,It’s ok to want to be pampered,
It’s ok to disagree at times,
It’s ok to not be the punching bag,
It’s ok to want to tell them to go to hell,
It’s ok to get tired,
It’s ok to want your peace,
It’s ok to not stomach it anymore,
It’s ok to want something else, something beautiful, something different,
It’s ok to be someone meaningful, or want to be,
It’s ok to have your dreams and ambitions,
It’s ok to want to reach somewhere,
It’s ok to be where you are today, better days lie ahead,
It’s ok to be down at times, that way you appreciate the highs,
It’s ok to not always want what they want,
It’s ok to be different,
It’s ok to set your boundaries,
It’s ok to be disappointed at times-how strong is your heart anyway?
It’s ok to want that and not this,
It’s ok to think about them at times,
It’s ok have some wishful thinking moments,
It’s ok to wonder what it could have been,
It’s ok to miss them,
It’s ok to say goodbye,
It’s ok to have enough,
It’s ok to live your life.
