Be Alive

Of living and being alive 

When opposing and conflicting 
Thoughts invade your head
Feelings overwhelm you
There is nothing left unsaid 

The world seems indifferent 
Uncaring and unkind
You feel lost and isolated
And hope is hard to find

When heart is filled with bitterness
Powerlessness and gloom
And you're certain of being headed
Towards the beginning of your doom

Clock seems to be ticking
Opportunities lost and gone
The night seems too endless 
To wait for the dawn

When all the hits and trials
Seem wasted and futile
Don't give up just yet
Wait again for a while

No matter how hard it gets
No matter what all went wrong 
You always always have it in you
To stand up and be strong

Muster the last ounce of courage
Innate deep within
Even when the silver lining
Is too bleak and too thin 

Don't give up on your dreams 
Don't give up on your life
Don't give in to the sadness
The darkness and the strife 

Bit by bit, one step at a time
As long you move ahead
Hope can never be over
Despite the panic and dread 

Being victimized and staying a victim
Are two different things you see
We are the source of creation
We can choose what we wish to be 

Change what is not working
Start anew, again
Refusing to get bogged down
By'why' and'how' and'when'

There is nothing that's unchangeable
You just need to decide
And do everything it takes
To twirl around the tide 

The path you took till now
May be crooked, harsh and tough 
Who said there is no going back
Paths are many and enough 

Choose a new one that is better
Choose another if required
Rest but never quit
When doubtful, sad or tired 

Look inside and all around
Universe listens and provides 
You only need to ask and wait,
With your arms stretched out wide 

Take back your power
Break free from the past
Possibilities that exist 
Are infinite and vast
