There’s so much you hold inside So much that you don’t confide Outward smiles and inward screams Reflecting on your broken dreams When it’s all pent up, it takes a toll And you feel the fire within your soul Your blood starts to boil deep within But you can’t let out what you’re holding in It may be your family, even your friends And it feels like it will never end People love to tell you to how to deal And how you’re supposed to feel They tell you that you must stay strong Because reacting is apparently wrong Nothing good can come from violence So just absorb and deal in silence Keep throwing punches in your mind And destroy the ones being so unkind Let your mind take pleasure in the pain Of all the fiends driving you insane Just hold back with all your might Drive out your demons and continue to fight Just take a breath and control your rage And don’t let the monster out of its cage

Wow, I can’t believe I've been so blind as to why this world has become so unkind I almost ashamed that it took this long for me to understand that I was oh so wrong I've only blamed myself for all my scars never thinking once that I strayed so far my dependency on friends was a big mistake cos I couldn’t distinguish between real from fake I didn't care at all about how the world saw me cos ultimately, what you get is what you see now I understand why people just walk away guess people just got sick of seeing me this way true, we should never judge a book by its cover especially when someone’s life has turned sour but if they open up, regardless of a platform? do we walk away or help them weather the storm? most times we assume that they’re crying wolf even though we never really have any proof that people who cry out are nothing but faking imagine the toll that walking away is taking that's how unkind the world is and now I kno...

One day I’ll get things right And only then will I give up the fight One day everything will work out  And I’ll finally know what life is all about One day I’ll be back on my feet And I’ll move forward without retreat One day I will make all the rules And I will no longer be judged or called a fool One day the tears will stop falling And I’ll stand up instead of crawling One day I’ll be able to stand strong And make right all I ever did wrong One day I‘ll be back on top of my game And I won’t have to hang my head in shame One day I just might meet someone again And she will free my heart from these lonely chains One day I’ll earn back the respect and trust I lost I’ll get through the hard times no matter the cost One day the whole world will hear me say That I made it to the top, and I did it my way

Each morning, the beginning of the next round The fight with life, the hardest around  It'll beat you, bloody you and hurt to no end And all you can n do survive and find a way to mend Your life is what you make of it they say But we know that  a little luck goes along way  On a rare day, life retreats and we go on the attack  But then as we let our guard down, life hits back In life and in boxing,  landing punches is a must  Because if we don't, we just end up eating dust  Sometimes life does knock us down hard  And while wounds heal, we'll always be scarred  Like the cutmen in the corner, we have our friends  We trust and hope that they'll be there till the end But we can't depend on them cos they fight battles of their own. So sometimes it's left to us to fight life all alone We make bad choices and play catch up all the time  And following our hearts, is truly our only crime  We w...

What the hell is this country coming to? why are we turning a blind eye to the atrocities that keep happening? children are being abused and killed, women are being raped, murders all over the place, blatant disregard for human life on roads? is it just me or has Sri Lanka  'evolved' so much that human beings, have become unbelievably stupid? Let's begin with the number of road accidents that have been happening over the last month or so, all because of stupid drivers with no patience, because everyone has to be in such a damn hurry, that they don't realise other lives are in danger. The worst of the accidents thus far, involved two buses and a defender. Whoever was driving the defender, was on the wrong side of a singular white line and was speeding toward a blind bend. And for what? what was the point of that? so many died, so many were injured, and it all could've been prevented. Staying on the topic of road accidents and road rage, there have been several incide...

smiling, living through darkness and pain finding solace in all the scars and sutures peering through a window at the falling rain and tearing at the very thought of a lonely future dreaming of solitude on the islands hallow shores observing in envy at the happiness in the world the pretender lives, broken and alone with all his woes even in crowds, in his heart the blood incessantly curled but as he moves on through life, the face he wears is strong a tortured soul, once so full of life, just simply fades never intending to do anyone any wrong nursing scars left from serrated edged blades knowing no fear of man, only fears of responsibility moving through life, drowning in memories of yesterday knowing there are others who suffer from life's perpetual complexity from failed attempts to drown sorrows, dull hangovers everyday hoping that one day an end will come to this ill-gotten charade through poetry, comedy, mindless benders and games reminiscing, memories in a mind so brutally ...

Once again he fights to go to sleep, wanting to make things right and earn his keep everyday he battles memories of his past he craves to be free of pain at long last Blood, sweat and tears, spilled like a soldier, with every hour that goes by, he feels the world get colder in his heart of hearts, he knows he's not the only one that suffers one would think all the scars would make him tougher How does one survive a life of broken dreams?, to clear a mind so beaten, internally he screams continuing down that long and lonely road, his shoulders weighed down by a heavy load Once again lying a wake in his bed, wondering if he can make true, the visions in his head, life is a fight, a battle and sometimes a war emotions so pure, so painful, so raw Battered and beaten, he keeps getting back to his feet, knowing he has to stand up, even in the face of defeat onward he plods and pushes through the demons both near and far and his memories will haunt him forever, lik...

Many years of meaningless violence we’ve seen Assassinations and bombings, an everyday scene Our people have spilled gallons of blood For what reason must we bury our brothers and sisters in mud Soldiers fall, while civilians crawl People being crushed underneath falling walls Now from above we see more danger From this terror, we inherited an unjust anger There was so much fighting now; we have forgotten why it started How can any human being be so ill hearted? Even children don’t see the light of another day They take one small step and they’re blown away We’ve been through it before, let’s stop this from happening again In so many years, there was no justice, just pain Let’s end this terror before even more people die Don’t say there is peace, because that’s a blatant lie Politicians are the cause of all this stupidity Spreading words of hate and immoral insecurity We look to our leaders for motivation and hope But they are the ones who push...
