Meloncholy sometimes has a place in our hearts on deep reflection. Lucky are those whose happiness is constant. For what we strive for we may achieve and what we don't we may grieve.

DANCING IN SILENCE

I'm dancing in silence
Lost in this world
In my own exclusive
realm of dreams
meditating on
the meaning of
the life I lead
it seems...

What have I done?
what have I failed to do?
what have I achieved?
where am I?
where am I going to?

Do I fit in with
society's view
of cultural association

how should I lead my life?
should I choose to opt out
or fall in with the system
Am I flawed with its
indoctrination!

The pyramid clock
ticks loudly
the minutes, the hours,
the days, the years
the apprehension
the excitement
my darkest fears

the chasms of my mind
open various doors
challenge my integrity
Do I follow my vision
echoed in the chambers
of my heart?
Do what is expected of me
or do I fall apart?

Take a chance on fate?
wake up when its too late!
Do I forgive myself
for just being me...
and not what somebody else's
expectations should be

Will I hang the burden
of guilt erase the pain
feel renewed and
let nature reclaim
my thoughts and my mind
as I drift into oblivion

And wake up in the next
century
For I feel I was born into
a different history
I belong in a world
that's safe and calm
where I can shine and
invoke my natural charm

Not this tragic dangerous
21st century
where everybody is concerned
with the word "me"
The few that aren't are
"burnt to the stake"
I feel I am dancing in silence
at my own wake.
