When you woke me up

i was lying dead on my bed
when you knocked on my door
and woke me up once more
i was tired from work today
when you woke me up just like everyday

i opened up to see your face
i prayed to god please give me a mace
when asked you why you did this thing
you said you wanted to boil something
i tried to think whose face was it that i saw first today
and i remembered you woke me up just like everyday

then again another time
when i was lost in dreams of mine
came again the sound of wood
and behind the door you stood
wanted to know if your daily i took
with anger my whole body shook
i tried to think whose face was it that i saw first today
and i remembered you woke me up just like everyday

i ponder how you manage to
i really wonder everytime you do
and i try to think whose face was it that i saw first today
and i remember you woke me up just like everyday

walk on the roof

on the roof i often take a walk
sometimes in the moonlight,sometimes in the dark
being away from the daily grind
it really helps to clear my mind.

while roaming a definite pattern i follow
with tea in my hand or a swallow
look far away at the street lamp burning
and at the people from work returning.

think of the targets that have been achieved
of the words from my side well recieved
about the good work i have done
and of the hearts that i have won.

think of expectations not been met
of the low standards i have set
all the times i have been like dirt
and the people i have badly hurt.

think of the need for me to awaken
and of the actions that need to be taken
to try first, not afraid to go wrong
in the times of trouble try to be strong.

it is the time i choose to motivate
myself everyday to try an create
to have meaning in each comment
and add value to every moment.

i look up at the moonlight sky
and if it wants, to let my heart cry
later on so that i can bear
almost anything without a tear.

for me its a time to let it out
without having to talk or to shout
a little time alone helps me on other ocassions
to be in total control of my emotions.

introspection

i looked outside into the dark
and as i heard stray dogs bark
in my mind ran thoughts so deep
i was tired yet unable to sleep

was it cause i didnt want
or because i thought i can't
did i think the land was dry
or was i too scared just to try


sleepless in my bed as i lay
i ask myself whether i can say
on most occasions have done whats right
and never ran away from a fight

or am i that big pretender
before every battle who did surrender
stepping aside every crucial moment
only to later sit and lament

have i been lying to this day
to myself in every way
or is it just a passing thought
that this lonely night has brought

and as the morning dawns with the rise of the sun
and once again its time to run
i get with a hope that last night
helps me see things in a different light
