I sit alone
In this cold dark room
No windows no doors
Just icy cold air
...

So many people around me
Each with paths of their own
I could barely see mine, but,
I kept walking alone.
...

I wish I could once in my life
Be a reason for your smile
I wish I could once in my life
Be yours for a while
...

A refuge for a coward
A reason for the brave
An excuse for a deed
A name for a thought
...

Never have I known what's right for me
Never have I felt the need to know more of anything
There is this little place beating inside of me
Never which I thought would take control of everything
...

Tired of life, and all the rules to abide,
I finally decided, to commit suicide.
I could shoot myself or maybe drown,
Or I could climb up my building and simply jump down.
...

When I was alone
Empty as a hole
You were the one
You hugged me to your soul
...

Lying at the top, in the dead of the night,
Admiring life, and beholding the sight,
Gazing above, beyond the sparkling low sky,
Envying the stars, floating so high.
...

'Quit staring! ! ! '
She said passing by
My mind began mumbling apologies,
But my tongue had its own reply:
...

There was something different that day,
About the way the wind blew;
It lost all sense of directions,
The moment I saw you...
...

'Its better to not have existed than to not have lived. But its much better to never have lived, than to have lived as if never existed.'

There are times,
a lot of times
...

Scanning the land,
With her soft and alert eyes;
Searching for the 'clawed' ones
Whose thought alone chilled her spine,
...

As I slowly approached, ... that unknown gate
A glance at my mother, tightly holding her hand;
