Walking down a rocky road,
With darkness surrounding me.
Why do I feel like a captive,
When my heart tells me that I'm free?
Enslaved by the thought,
That the road ahead might be endless.
And the visions of the crowds,
laughing at my weary face?
All that I had owned went by
like the ticking hours.
What does one do when everyone betrays you?
When you've got nothing, and no one to turn to.
You just keep on walking.
And this song you just keep on singing.
Been walking all my life
with a determination in mind.
Working hard
through the distance of time.
Used to believe in myself,
and did what seemed right.
But the lines they are so hazy now,
Can't tell the wrongs from right.
Following the truth and never
turning to temptation from others,
Never turned like the many
often losing my brothers.
As they fall for the easy wrong,
I've been sticking to my guns
And time and again,
Proving that I'm strong.

Speechless!!
It seems u stole my lyrics, it seems u r singing my song...
Each n every word shouts out loud for its very veracity...
this poem gives me strength and idea about my life dude.... I don't have heavy words or any special credits to give you. I just have simple thanks to say you.
Thanx guys.. Ever so often, I choose a particular path and ask myself if I'm making the right decision. I still don't know what I'm doing with my life, and somehow this poem was a result of all those mixed emotions. Although I must give credit to Nikhil Golhar, a friend of mine who brought up this topic during a night of jamming with "God Water", and the fact that we were actually trekking around in the Western Ghats at the time.
When I read your comments, it sort of comforted me, because it tells me I'm not all alone. Somewhere deep down, all of us are struggling with an internal conflict. A conflict which also tends to affect our decision making and self confidence.
Thank you once again guys, for your kind words of encouragement.
dude, i think others feel something similar, we were just fortunate enough to put it down in words
