Times in the changing
everything seems to be moving
people, places,
nothing stays the same
I look around and feel still
still as a stone
unable to move away
to take a step ahead
these chains of not letting go
ground me to the place where I was before

I see what I want
I reach out to reach
it slips away
within seconds, it seems miles away
Is the world at a faster pace?
I see myself held again
and I stand still..

Day and nights, are they different?
nothing new, it’s all the same
I feel it moving through my veins
like a slow poison of the kind
that neither kills nor lets live
the venom of past kills my today, everyday!
even the nothing in me, now stands still

It’s a curse, these memories
they need to be forgotten
burned & buried dreams need to be dead
they haunt me everyday
like it was just today

With the horror and fear engraved on my heart
and a blurring vision of ends and starts
I can see the hourglass of my life about to stop
And I stand still..yet again

Listen to me, read my lips
bring on the destiny and the unseen
take away all that isn’t present
let me take a step to a new begining
Coz no more can I bear the pain
to stand still ..alone again
