AN IMPOSSIBLE DREAM

There's a world inside our mind
That awakes when we sleep
A world of impossibilities
And of secrets that we keep

We own it completely
But we can't control
Cant predict it
On what next will be unfold

Its a weird thing
All these dreams that we keep
Some relaxes our minds
Some never let us sleep

But its good to have
An impossible dream
One that tests our true character
In conditions grim

Pleasant dreams are good
Impossible ones are better
Its our perception and mindset
That really matter

Great visionaries were great dreamers
They just believed in what they envision
Hold on to it in the darkest hour
Fueled it by determination

And that's the challenge
Life throws at us
Living our dream
Among all that worldly fuss

Probably that is what separates
Between us and the great
To cling on to our dreams
When we begin to lose faith

Its ain't that easy
Its an uphill climb
Patience running out
Thoughts running wild

But whats life without it
Without nothing to achieve
What does a man know of celebration
When he has never grieved

So if you have a dream
Don't throw it away
Believe in it, till the end
Come what may

Someday down the line
Things will turn your way
Strengthening your belief
On an unexpected day

And when your dream turns into reality
Every moment of it feels great
You wonder how things began to fall in place
The moment you took that leap of faith.

QUEST FOR HAPPINESS

I wake up every morning.
Tired and Negative.
Thinking about what life has to offer.
Thinking about reasons to live.

Its the same old urban life.
Fast and Merciless.
Got no time to plan ahead.
Life here is a pile of mess.

Sometimes I just want to end this,
with a single blow of death.
Happiness is just a stranger,
whom I've never met.

But happiness ain't a product,
that I can find in the store.
It lies somewhere inside me,
waiting for me to explore.

I guess I am not the only.
Challenge lies in the nature all around.
Birds, animals and every living creature,
in the sky and on the ground.

So I wake up once again.
Positively from my bed.
Ready to rise to the challenge,
and earn my daily bread.

I am not the same anymore.
Grumbling about my sorrow.
I am learning from my mistakes.
Ready to shape my tomorrow.

Prepared to take on new challenges.
Walking paths where I've never been.
My quest for happiness has finally ended,
with the peace I've found within.
