Enemy Within

No, Its not
My parents pushing me, in my teens,
No, not my sibling I need to outshine,
Not my cousins, forgetting what I taught,
Not my peers, whom I need to outrhyme,
No, Not my friends backstabbing at will,
No, Not my teachers in the school,
Making me learn what I barely understand,
No, not the priest
trying to mould me,
No, not the deafening wind,
when I m lonely,
No, not the devil,
Always tempting me,
Not the thunder,
when I sleep shivering,
No, not the empty glasses,
making my liver sick,
No, not when I m gasping for air,
not knowing the river's deep,
So the question is who then?
is my nemesis,
I say, Me and this mirror,
The shattered glass and my soft flesh,
I, myself, my own worst enemy,
I can fight the world,
But how can I defeat myself,
I m losing either way
Its the enemy within*

Sometime Part II

Spend some time with you,
Get to know you better,
So when I m gone say that I missed you,
No, but not forever,
We will meet again, I m sure,
The reason, all the things we've been together,
Only to know feelings were pure,
And all the disagreements didn't really matter,
Where will we stand when the years passed by,
Say we've remained friends and improved,
So do you remember when did I speak my last lie,
Now I spit out all the feelings I chewed,
You stayed quiet, never displayed any signs and I asked why?
You told me not to talk like this and say that I was rude,
Exact same words I heard last night,
I shouldered your pain, You shouldered mine,
Gave me courage to carry on,
Read your voice and knew then and then something wasn't right,
Made me understand what went wrong,
So who wasted time time when we talked all night,
Same place we stand when everything is said and done,
Will we talk so often?
We will reminise on all the fun,
Words won't be enough to say what you mean to me,
There's mayhem in my mind,
But there's a calmness you bring to me,
You are busy in your life,
I m busy in mine,
I Guess we will value each other when we are gone,
Coz this friendship we redefine,
You can find me you know where I m from,
May be then we will spend some time.

One

All I need,
is one pen,
One pad, to write,
One friend, I can trust,
One God,
One Prayer,
That is answered,
One tear,
Someone can wipe,
One smile,
I could give this life for,
One sun,
To shine my way,
One lie,
I can take it as truth,
One house,
Better yet,
One room,
But four walls,
All I need is
Someone,
I can call my own,
One eye,
To see the truth,
One hope,
I will make it to heaven,
One son,
To make me proud,
One dollar,
So that I ain't broke,
One year,
To get my life together,
One wish,
That is granted,
One God Bless,
Before I m dead,
One chance,
If I can make this worth it,
One more chance,
To do it again*
