Never Give Up

This is what has shaped me
This is what i've learnt
It's experiencing
It's not just the feeling
It's what we go through
It's not all we were taught

Life has it's ups and Life has its downs
But that's not what counts
It's about living
It's not about winning
It's what we want done
It's how we make it happen.

We do have a say
In deciding who we are today
But when you feel tied down
And you feel life's unfair
It's not all that bad
It's making the best of what you have.

Don't give up and Don't despair
Keep the faith and grow in strength
Pick yourself up when you fall
Then once more you'll stand tall
Never give up
Never lose heart.

Just One Simple Thing

Sometimes, there isn't much we request in life but to be heard and to be understood. At moments when no one sees eye to eye with you and when things start to go awry, that's when you feel the hurt and pain. But that's just when you have to remain strong and to make that special request for that one simple thing.

It never ceases to amaze me
How everyone misunderstands me
Friends or Foes
Not even the family knows
I'm just asking,
Asking for just one simple thing

It hurts when you turn away
It's not true that i'm okay
Don't you see
I'm not anyone but me
I'm just looking
Looking for just one simple thing

All i'm asking for
Is some consolation
Some kind of a sign
And some form of consideration
And i'm still in pain
Trying to forget in vain
Please help me erase this pain

Each time i tear
I'm looking back on all i fear
I'd cry till there are tears no more
Then emerge stronger than before
I'm just asking,
Asking for just one simple thing

It sometimes makes me wonder
If i should stay on any further
Don't compare
I am who I am today
There is nothing more you can change anyway
I'm just looking
Looking for just one simple thing

All i'm asking for
Is some consolation
Some kind of a sign
Or some form of consideration
And i'm still in pain
Trying to forget in vain
Please help me erase this pain

And it doesn't seem to matter no more...
