BEWILDERMENT

The wise could not
Let alone the brave
What running through
My mind, tell
All alone in awful thoughts
Can I the pressure stand?
I continually ask myself
Anyway, no one can tell
What the future holds

Man so callous could be
When words consoling
Should utter
Words rather depressing prefer
If not for life's principles
Not for a reason worth it
Expecting the unexpected
Dear life, even if for once
Teach us to understand you

Now is the time
For me to buckle down
At life's principles overcoming
Come what may, I will never quit.

IT'S ALL A FAÇADE

People, walking the streets
With beautiful smile on their faces
But with flicking thoughts of despair
Taking the day's order

They walk all alone, abandoned
In the midst of terrifying thoughts
Sometimes they cry aloud when it's too hard
To bear, how they wish they weren't born

Their hope, almost drowned away
By the sand of nothingness
Miming the rhythm of desolation
Always awake counting stars amid shadows

You see them laugh aloud
At the least of funny talks
But a way of taming every bit of cruelty
Life has on them, imposed, crummy indeed

It's all a façade I know
Just a little step further
Will bring the turnaround yet wanted
Patience is all that is required.
