In your lying eyes

I see you, who you really are
I see the pain beneath the scars
I see the fear locked in your heart
A fear of love, tearing you apart
Inside you want that companionship
That someone who'll never abandon ship
But you're afraid to open your mind
Cos in the the past, someone was unkind
Yet I see it, the love you so desperately hide
I see the cravings you have locked inside
But it's not my place to tell you how to live
Nor is it anyone else's advice to give
But I see it all, hidden deep inside you
I see through you, cos I've been there too
And that strong face that the world sees
May fool many, but you'll never fool me
Cos I see the loneliness in the tears you don't cry
And I see it all, in your lying eyes

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

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

As you are

Ask yourself, "is this who I'm supposed to be?" "Is this all this world has to offer me?" "Must I be surrounded by all this negativity?" "What do I have to do to find serendipity?" Think of what you've been forced to survive  And be thankful for everyday you're alive  Be grateful for the real people, family and friends And for the loyalty that never ever bends Forget about those who have been hurtful  And all the people who only saw you as useful  Because they aren't worth the time or the effort  And you're better off without all the hurt  Always face forward, don't dwell on the past Cherish the memories, even if they are vast Don't pull the punches, fight on and fight hard  And don't let anyone make you drop your guard This is exactly who you're supposed to be  Even if some are just too ignorant to see  Strive to be the vessel of your own changes And you will overcome life's many challenges  Don't sto
