Is this real or a dream,I seem to be lost
Lost in this strange world,Lost in my own thoughts.
I'm running,running with this running crowd
Running to nowhere,but still I'm proud
Proud to be what I am,Happy to be with you
Wish you were here,Wish the dream was true
But am I really proud,Or showing my false pride
I have lost my way,U still want me to guide
Never got what I wanted,Never felt this way
Should I try to escape or should I just pray
I'm losing my faith,But in God or in myself?
Someone try to save me,Some please help
I have everything but still nothing
Tears I shed away,still keep coming
There is an everlasting pain
something tells me I'm alive,these pulses in my veins
I am alive but dead,I have lost all my hope
Pain is holding me together,tying me with its rope
Lost in this strange world,Lost in my own thoughts.

Really, life seemed so simple when I was young.. I could achieve anything in my imagination, and still have a vague assurance that once the time comes, I am going to achieve it!!
But now, as life goes on, this feeling is growing upon me that probably I wanted too many things from life.. when almost none of those are getting met, the sense of unhappiness and restlessness is increasing..
Someone inside keeps on shouting that I am running out of time, but still I am nowhere.. who will give the directions.. who will tell what to do.. how do I know whether I am right.. or am I totally wrong???
Sometimes it becomes very hard to trust yourself.. I think the reason is that we are inherently greedy.. we want EVERYTHING!! Sacrifice looks to be a very noble concept, but it is still at the stage of concept only.. then listening to the inside voice basically amounts to listening to the "wants" of the mind, not the "needs" of the soul.. so we spend the greater half of the life running after superficial requirements, while the soul almost starves to death..
Probably that is called 'death of the conscience".. but will any one of us ever WANT this to happen..? NO!!! But still most of us are running in the loop.. At least thats what I sometimes feel for myself.. like chasing a mirage which I know is an abortive attempt.. almost a way of self-torture, where emotions cloud judgement.. rational thinking takes a backseat, and hence the anarchy sets in.. CRAZYNESS..
now what does this mean.. we are PRISONERS.. prisoners to our own desires.. prisoners to the self-imposed restrictions.. prisoners to the society.. prisoners to the norms and all stupid orthodox conventions.. and of course, prisoners to attachments, and dogma..
how to get rid of it..? answers are given by many wise people, and scriptures.. it is simple, but perhaps thats why so hard to follow.. the solution lies with us..! but that is the more scary part.. NO ONE CAN HELP US get rid of the situation..!! no-one..! only we have the power of discrimination to help us to decide to do the needful.. to free us from this self-imposed prison..!! otherwise witness the soul wither away, day after day after day- malnourished, impoverished..!
but there is hope.. somewhere i read that it is never late to do the correct thing.. we can end this suffering right now..! but the question is: are we ready to sacrifice..? be ready to lose everything that once we held so dear..
once we can have that courage, then we will free ourselves of the deep rooted fear that is running us crazy since we learned to comprehend this society.. then we will have that energy to go after everything that we really need.. after all, having the courage to be prepared to sacrifice something is not the same as losing it..!
let the hope prevail, always.. let us hope that we can find the goal.. the reason why we were born..
and let us make a difference in this world, where people are finding it difficult to look beyond grief and sorrow..! where people are suffering from 'deficiency syndrome', where God has given everything that we need in abundance!
All the best, my friend..!
take care, God Bless..
