Apocalypse

The start was very pleasant sir
Not as bleak as it seems
I did not have to look too far
For penning down my dreams

It seems quite hard as I look back
It was much easy then
I would work hard until I crack
So I was called insane

I was the best yes that I'm sure
Why ain't I as good now
Maybe that is coz I lost my touch
I still do not know how

I have a dream, I used to say
To reach the top and stay
I nearly reached the peak, I did
Till everything below gave way

I lay spread-eagled on the floor
I simply wondered on
Why did the others go ahead
Just then I felt alone


Yes, I have friends, many I have
They are what helped me see
Yet even they could not save
What I had lost in me


I will be back I thought back then
Now I have gone too far
I chose to go down the easy lane
I can't turn back the car

My days of glory are long gone
I let them go away
But I'm happy, I ain't alone
And I am here to stay

Happiness

The damp walls close in all the more

They numb my feelings to the core

It is just happiness I crave

I hear you say I am not brave

You say sorrow is needed too

I say why does it so please you

Sorrow is easy to experience

To yet be happy shows good sense

I always see the people sad

A smiling man dismissed as mad

I like to laugh, I hate to cry

With the great birds I wish to fly

It is that easy to laugh and smile

Keep sadness away by a mile.
