It okay...

Peacemaker 2005 (Manguzi)



It okay...

What is a use of speaking ?
If your voice can't be heard .
What is a use of sharing ?
If your share is not appreciated
What is use of breathing?
If your life isn't worth living.
What is a use of shouting if ,
All of you aren't listening.


I still find it strange or lame?
How do you find :
Comfort in disgrace?
Love in hatred ?
Hope in darkness?
Excitement in emptiness?
Tell me isn't all this strange ?

What is a use of saying it okay .
When it's not ?
At the same time
How do you say it's not okay,
When everyone feels it okay?
Who knows maybe it's always ;
Better to say I am okay.

They say a man doesn't cry ...
So imagine what am I doing inside.
They say two wrongs don't make
It right .
So just think if am I wrong or right .
It's my head against my heart ?
Guess who will win the fight .

Was life supposed to be this hard...
Sometimes I am angry .
Sometimes I am sad .
Can't anyone borrow me ,
Happiness instead...
I am tired of fighting with,
My emotions and demons in my head.
