Puppets

Sometimes I feel that I'm not a human,

I feel like a puppet.

My hands are tied by someone,

and I'm hanging on somebody's hand.

I can't let go of the string also, coz...

I've reached so high with help of others, that--

if I let go, I'm gonna fall really bad.

Slap me, or even punch me hard.

I'm just a heartless thing with no feelings at all.

I'm used only to entertain people.

I dance on someone's fingers.

That's my Life - and I'm a Puppet...

~ Everything's Gone ~

y is there so much hatred in world?

I was never told that when I step down and start my life, I would have to face millions of unhappy moments in this very short life of mine.
I always thought that there are only happy moments.

I was never told that a heart has to go through lots of pain.
I always thought that its the most beautiful gift we got, and its meant only for loving someone.

I was never told that the brains I got would stop helping me when it comes to dealing with people.
I always thought that it would make me smarter every breath I take.

I was never told that the soul I got would be cursed for no reason.
I always thought that I was sent to do good for people, and touch their hearts.

Everything is gone now.
My soul has been cursed,
My brains have been mashed, and
My heart - it started beating me now.

is this what you really wished for me?

Goodness

That dark night just passed by
and it was a beautiful sunny morning.
The clouds were high up in the sky,
looking down at me walk by.

I crossed the whole big field.
It was golden in color coz of the sun.
I could even hear the far far birds.
and thatswhere I wanted to go - the woods...

I walked thru the woods.
All I could hear was the water, falling..
Thats where my feet are taking me.
Towards the waterfall...

I crossed the woods.
The sound of water was getting louder.
I jumped on top of the huge boulder,
and there it was - a waterfall an imagined before.

I stood there on the boulder with my hands on the waist.
Looking all over there beautiful place.
It was like a mini paradise.
Covered by woods all around, and the water - fall !!!

Everything was just so beautiful.
Until I saw a small kid there.
The Kid seemed upset,
He was crying without shedding his tears.

I walked towards him,
and told him,
"The sun is out to wish you good morning;
and even I'm here to enjoy this with you"

The small kid looked at me, and smiled.

I asked him again.
"hey lil-boy, what happened?
u seem upest,
is everything alright?

The Kid looked at me, and said...

"I don't know whats going on with me.
I've never done bad or even thought bad about anyone.
I've been there at whatsoever time they wished to see me.
still they call me a back-stabber?

When I decide to do something,
I think a lot of times.
and the decisions which I make,
are untrustable for those whom I care?

Today I regret that this World is so cruel,
and I'm so pure.
This World has done wrong with people.
and when I go to help them, they think I'm also part of this World?

I feel so lonely,
But I wont stop.
This World is killing me every second,
But, I'm breathing just to make people realize that...

-- Goodness might not be seen; but believe, and have faith.
as I'm going to prove it to you that I'm here with you."

"I'm here to show you the invisible air"

- Keep doing good. (someone will notice)
