Let me be Myself

I guess i just got lost being someone else,
I tried to kill the pain
But nothing ever helped
I left myself behind
Somewhere along the way
Hoping to come back around
and find myself some day

Lately I'm so tired of waiting for you
To say that it's OK, tell me please
Would you one time,
Let Me Be Myself
So i can shine,
with my own light
Let Me Be Myself

Would you Let Me Be Myself
Coz I'll never find my heart
Behind someone else
I'll never see the light of day
Living in this cell
It's time to make my way
Into the world i knew
And take back all of these times
That I gave in to you

Lately I'm so tired of waiting for you
To say that it's OK, tell me please
Would you one time,
Let Me Be Myself
So i can shine,
with my own light
Let Me Be Myself,
For a while
If you don't mind,
Let Me Be Myself
So i can shine,
with my own light
Let Me Be Myself

That's all i ever wanted from this world
Was to let me be me..

Please, would you one time,
Let Me Be Myself
So i can shine,
with my own light
Let Me Be Myself
Please, would you one time,
Let Me Be Myself
So i can shine,
with my own light
Let Me Be Myself,
For a while
If you don't mind,
Let Me Be Myself
So i can shine,
with my own light
Let Me Be Myself

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me. 
Black as the pit from pole to pole, 
I thank whatever Gods may be, 
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutches of circumstances, 
I have not winced nor cried aloud, 
Under the bludgeonings of chance 
My head is bloody, but unbowed. 

Beyond this place of wrath and tears 
Looms but the Horror of the shade, 
And yet the menace of the years 
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate, 
How charged with punishments the scroll. 
I am the master of my fate: 
I am the captain of my soul.

The "What-if" turnaround.

It feels great coming here after a long time with so many thoughts in mind to share. Usually we are moved and motivated by what we sense, hear, feel, and perceive. But for how long? Our behaviour is ironical in certain aspects of life. It starts with a belief and ends with it... though all the time we live on this earth that belief is taken over by doubt. Change is inevitable and they say change is for good. But who defines what is good for us? Aiming for the stars with the risk of falling face burst on the ground or playing it safe to lead a risk free and content life being just another face in the crowd. That belief is nowhere to be found. Strange isn't it?

When we're born we don't know about this world and the difficulties that are awaiting us... The problems are always bigger than the solutions. What does one do? Play it safe! A kid has so many desires in his mind and lives for those moments when he will fulfill all of them.. But gradually as he grows up he finds all those things he wanted to achieve will never be fulfilled! Thus he compromises... A 12 year old with a guitar in his hand blowing the roof of his school fest thinks to live the moment when he would become a Rockstar and own the big stage someday.. When that 12 year old turns 27 years old he finds out he is just another guy with the guitar...

People begin to accept the fact whatever they dream is just because they will never achieve it and hence they call themselves "Practical". Why is the word practical always used in a negative way? Why can't it be used to fulfill all those dreams? Is that what we call Practical? Stop being Practical.... and as Steve Job puts it "Be hungry... Be Foolish!!" As that is the only way you will ever have a chance to live all those things you ever wanted. What good is being wise?

In our lives, this world teaches us to be content with what we have... how are you ever gonna aim for the stars? This world has become so much practical that they have started believing in disbelief. Why is it so hard to achieve whatever you want? The things that you want are for you to have it and not for the people who tell you cannot!

Ok.. Even if you won't ever get what you want... why do you need to give up? If your destiny wants you to lose why don't you give it a good fight anyhow? At least then you will have a chance to live up to your own expectations than being one of them and hamper another kid's dream?

What will you prefer? A 1 out of 10 chances to live your life or surrendering to the "Be Practical" society?

On one hand is a chance that you may achieve what you desire mixed with the risks of a bad fall... and on the other yet another a simple risk free mediocre life! The choice is yours!

If you go for the former, then let no-one tell you that you can't do something.. not even your closest one.. Alright? You got a dream... You gotta protect it. People can't do somethin' themselves, they wanna tell you.. you can't do it. If you want somethin', go get it.

Maybe most of the time these people will be right about something. But they will never take a risk.. Most of the time people who want to achieve their dreams will fall down and they will say,"Look... I told that poor guy!" But some of those poor guys make history. You're born with nothing but you die with your name.. Make sure its just not a word.. It must be history. People will always tell you you can't have something you like... and they will be right when you let them be right.... They will get into your head and you will speak the same to some other person... The problem with today's people is they can't say "What if" and they probably never will. They have lost faith and they're coming to you... Maybe someday you'll become one of them... and they will have a chance to laugh at you... But if you'll have just one chance to laugh at them...

Let the people laugh at you... don't fear that... but never let life laugh at you..

Just have a belief and say to your self...Ok.. I may not be able to pull it off.. but.. "What if"..."What if".."What if"...

There are a million reasons why I Love you..

There are probably a million reasons why I love you..
But when it comes to writing, I can think of none..
I can talk of you about hours without thinking..
But when it comes to talking, I can't think of anything..
There might have been autumns passed since the time I last saw you..
feels like you're always there whenever I close my eyes...

I thought of writing something about you...
When I sat down to write... I realized it's never been so difficult.
I like that moment when you smile, when you laugh and blink your eyes;
The moment when you are about to cry, the moment you widen up your eyes;
The moment when the expressions inside you begin to reveal on your face;
The moment when you try to hide something and couldn't;
The moment when a tear rolls own your eye and your throat is overwhelmed;
The moment when your lips stretch whenever you get my first sight;
The moment when you couldn't contact me eye to eye;
The moment when you start hitching about looking at me;
The moment you give a air kiss while chatting to me on the net;
The moment when you cover your face with both your hands when a thought strikes your mind;
The moment when I touch you and all of a sudden your breath is held to a point;
The moment when you wish me goodnight and start ruminating of all the things we shared today;
I wish I could pause all those moments... I wish I could live those moments over and over again;

There are things I want to say but I stop.... There are things I never told you..
There are times when I tell myself that you're the prettiest girl I've ever seen..
There are times when I fall in your eyes and wait to see how deep can I fall into them but I never land on your eyebed...
There are times I want to express how much I love you but words fail me..
You know why? Coz Love cannot be expressed in words...
This is the only thing I conclude when I fail to tell you the depth of my emotions...
The Universe cannot be measured... Neither can my Love for you..
I don't say I can die for you.. But I can't without you..
I don't say I don't wanna live without you... but I want to live for you...
I don't say I'll let you know how much I Love you... But you'll tell me one day, how much I mean to you..
I live for to see you smile in front of me forever..
I don't say that's enough to live my life... But I can! I can!
I love to see you blush in front of me... and I also like to make you cry...
I don't know what's right thing to do... But whatever I do, I'll make sure it will be right for you..
I started to write about 9 lines... But I don't know where to end now...
I started writing to make it memorable... But this fails to qualify to tell you how much you mean to me..

There are about a million reasons why I love you... But I can think of none right now..
I can go on writing like this.. not knowing what exactly I should right...
The actual reason is that I'm selfish.. Yes!! I am..
It makes me feel happy to see you..
It makes me feel happy to see you happy.. to see sad.. to see you laugh and to see you cry..
Yes!! I am selfish to make myself happy like that...
Forgive me for that.. All I want is to see you till I close my eyes.. forever..
Yes!! I Love you.. and that's all I can say it to you..
Maybe the sentence is short... But its perfect to make a sense what 50 lines cannot do..
Yes!! I love you... probably that should be the only thing I should have said..
I don't know why I ended up writing all these things..
Yes!! I Love you... and that is the only truth sufficient to let you know...
That I Love you!! I do!!

Your time's limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.. Don't b tripped by living with results of other people’s thinking.. Don’t let noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice..There are no reasons not to follow your heart..Everything else is secondary.. :)

Nice story on GOD

A good story I found while surfing....

An American decided to write a book about famous churches around the 
World.

So he bought a plane ticket and took a trip to China . 

On his first day he was inside a church taking photographs when he
noticed a golden telephone mounted on the wall with a sign that read 
"$10,000 per call".

The American, being intrigued, asked a priest who was strolling by what 
the telephone was used for. 

The priest replied that it was a direct line to heaven and that for
$10,000 you could talk to God.

The American thanked the priest and went along his way. 

Next stop was in Japan . There, at a very large cathedral, he saw the 
same golden telephone
with the same sign under it.

He wondered if this was the same kind of telephone he saw in China and
asked a nearby nun what its purpose was. 

She told him that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 
he could talk to God. 

"OK, thank you," said the American. 

He then traveled to Pakistan , Srilanka , Russia , Germany and France . 

In every church he saw the same golden telephone with the same "$10,000
Per call" sign under it.

The American, upon leaving Vermont decided to travel to up to India to 
see if Indians had the same phone. 

He arrived in India , and again, in the first church he entered, there
Was the same golden telephone, but this time the sign under it read 
"One
Rupee per call."

The American was
surprised so he asked the priest about the sign. 
"Father, I've traveled all over World and I've seen this same golden 
telephone in many churches. I'm told that it is a direct line to 
Heaven, but in the US the price was $10,000 per call.

Why is it so cheap here?" 

(Think for a moment why??)

The priest smiled and answered, "You're in India now, son - it's a 
Local Call ".
