Monsters

They dwell within the souls of us all
When they're unleashed, everything falls
Keeping them subdued within is hard
Unhinged they'd go the whole nine yards

Even their faces look a lot like our own
Holding them down takes strength unknown
Living with pain & anger and alone since birth
Seldom seen by anyone on the face of the earth

We fight the temptations, we can't give in
We cannot fall to the hurt we feel within
Instead, despite the anquish and stress
We must lock them away, and leave out the rest

Sometimes they break out from under lock and key
And spread carnage as far as the eye can see
They are the spawn of our burden and rage
And we fight to put them back in their cage

The monsters in us, others hardly ever see
A simple glimpse and your loved ones flee
They will hurt you and everyone you know
So whatever you do, never let them go

Cliché

I’ve always tried to be a good person, To be helpful, caring and kind, To be genuine with no real reason But apparently I’m arrogant and blind Is it wrong to believe there is good in our hearts? And that people can still take a stand? Since when is it weak and when did we start, Accepting that savagery is grand? Am I the only one who still believes in romance? And love in its unconditional form? You’ll never really know if you don’t take a chance And face what you’re hiding from Am I the only one left who sees right from wrong? And believes that there is always hope around? Kindness isn’t weak; in fact it makes you strong Even if in this hectic world, help can always be found There’s always someone willing to listen to you To lend an ear, a hand or a shoulder to cry on Someone to help you muscle through I believe in this, and that not everyone is a moron And that there is still good out there But I guess that’s not ho

Our Country, Where Art Thou?

Oh Sri Lanka, what have you become? But a slave to corrupt, power hungry scum, A country once known for her welcoming smile, That nobody has seen in a really long while. Sadly, it was your people who let you down, Their thievery and greed stole your crown, They pillaged, plundered, and set you back, And it will take a miracle to get you on track. But once a glimmer of hope was ignited, Under one banner, the people stood united, They fought side by side for one great cause, To free you from the grip of those slimy claws. But “political' agendas quickly extinguished that flame, And once again they hang their heads in shame, Your legacy, your heritage and history were buried, By the very people your heart once carried. You’ve dealt with colonisers, wars even pandemics, Now you barely have fuel or food, it’s pathetic, You’ve even bowled over the world in the sports arena, How to restore that glory? The "leaders" have no idea. Your forefathers would be very disappointed, Seein

Emotions

We’re all driven by our emotions By how we feel, in any situation We're built for both joy and pain Even if it drives us all insane It's the way of the world we live in Even if sometimes it feels like a prison That's human nature, how it's meant to be We feel everything we touch, hear and see Love, happiness, pain, and sadness Stress, frustration, anger, and madness Our emotions can break us or keep us intact Because they always determine how we react Our reactions are based on what we feel And sometimes it clouds fake from real Emotions also define how we see others And sometimes dictates how we treat one another They can unite and separate people And give us strength or make us feeble We're born with free will to make our own choices And we have a right to use our own voices But our voices aren't always strong Because sometimes they can steer us wrong So think about the feelings, each and every day Because in reality, our emotions can lead us astray
