Not going there,
Not going to the darkness.
Not going to that door,
Beyond which I have locked
Untold, un-needed things.
Parts of my mind and heart
Longings and yearnings,
Fading away to nothing,
And the pain of my past.
All lie jumbled together,
In the darkness.
I’m staying in the light,
Away from it all,
Far, far away.
..................................
If I had no longer to live,
Not another day of life;
If I had to die today,
This minute, this instant,
What shall I die for?
No particular ideal
I prize so highly,
Nor money or possessions.
No dreams of revolutions
Or visions of Utopia
I hold so close to my heart.
Only friends I hold dear enough
So for friendship
I shall die for.
...................................
Who will hold my hand
When I weep?
Who will console me
In my times of grief?
Who will stand by my side
When I’m all alone?
Who will lure me to sanity
From the throes
Of madness and rage?
...................................
Despair and depression
Concealed and cloaked
In irritation and humor.
Curiosity tightly clamped
In the grip
Of reluctance, hesitation
And indecision.
Disgust hiding the questions
Bubbling from within.
..................................
Life is balance and harmony
Light and dark,
Good and bad.
Mirth coexists with grief
And love lives with hate.
Every tear shed in laughter
Will be balanced
By tears shed in anguish.
Every frustrated thought
Will be coolly examined
In the light of rationality.
Laziness will be counteracted
With frenetic bursts of activity.
And friends and enemies
Will forever dance
The dance of life
All around you.
