Lost in infinity

I bury myself
in thoughts

of what if's
and why not's

I try so hard 

to gain control

but it just gets deeper

like a rabbit hole

I lay face down - 

layers of apprehensions
and ruminations

weighing me down

Can't seem to find
a way out

deeper in my mind,

I go about

Deeper I go

losing myself
in infinite loop

Little do I know

that it is just
a black hole
with no hope 

Look out

Look out..

For that innocent smile,

On a crowded bus

For those pants that still fit,

When you’re thirty plus

Look out..

For that sound of an ice-cream truck,

On a Sunday afternoon

For that shooting star

On a  dark sky with no moon

Look out

For the words

That need not be spoken

For the silence

That need not be broken

Look out

For those hands that hold you,

When you fall

For that bit of strength,

When you feel small

Look out

‘Cause what you see,

Might just not be it

And if you look beyond,

You might just be able to get it

Look out

For the hope

Behind every pain

For the sunshine

Behind every rain

Missing pieces

Is this how
it is supposed to be?
always wondering where
the missing piece would be?

We try so hard
looking for the pieces
to complete the puzzle
hoping the despair ceases

Some pieces fit just perfectly
like they were meant to be
but some pieces just go missing
like a needle in the sea

We look for them everywhere
around , above and below
But the pieces may even come
from a stranger who just said 'hello'

Is this how
it is supposed to be?
Is life all about
"this is meant to be" ?

Maybe we've got it all wrong
about the pieces, all along
it is where they come from
and how our life has become
maybe it is for us to find out
what the puzzle is all about

But I'm just wondering
Is this how
It is supposed to be?

Let me be

I'm a dreamer
I'm a wanderer
I'm a free spirit
I have things to see
Let me be
Let me be

Don't direct me
There are places I want to be
Don't shut me in
I need air
Don't judge me 'coz
I don't care

Let me be
Let me be

Don't pull me back
I might leap
Don't tie me down
I might fly
Don't lock me up
I might die

Let me be
Let me be
