My Own Script

another year has come and gone

so many lessons were there to learn

and some of them again I missed

and here another year comes a new

torn between the two

i fight on and on and on

every day with my own self

to keep my sanity and live another day

defeated and beaten down to earth

but only I can pick me up

to start again to make new strides

in this fleeting days of illusion

i must stand for myself to live

and though I may have failed before

i will try some more .. again and again

to learn to overcome the lower self

and passions of the mind I bear

of anger, lust and vanity

of attachment and even greed

no one says that

its easy to deal with the unexpected

especially when bad memories linger everywhere

they are killing you softly

in a world full of lies and deceit

where people change alliances at a drop of a coin

sometimes there is a window of hope

that all is not lost after all

as the year comes to a new beginning

i try not to go back to where i began

a brand new year and a fresh new start

to rewrite the script with my own plan
