The Ordinary Road

To those who are wandering on the road, so afraid to miss the view…
To those who have worn a fragile mask of pride, I was once like you.
To those who are feeling uneasy, to those who are feeling blue…
To those who are secretive and silent, listen to this story – it holds something for you.  

I’ve passed through giant crowds, I’ve crossed mountains & seas…
Time never speaks – how ‘Tomorrow’ comes in a breeze.  
I have been like you, like him, like all these Random People in the city…
How was I supposed to cope up in a universe full of witty?  

I once had everything I wished for, everything for which I tried…
But they were all gone forever, in the blink of an eye.  
I have had too many questions in my mind…
Until I saw that the answer was always there – in “The Ordinary Road” behind.  

In the past I have destroyed everything, wanting to leave forever…
I fell into a deep-dark pit, losing faith in my endeavor.  
I was hopeless, yet longing for something I had before…
I have been like you, like her, like all these Random People Next Door…  

I have been disappointed, despairing, & losing my direction bad…
Then one day, I saw that the answer lay in “The Ordinary Road” ahead . 

While you are fantasizing about tomorrow, wondering if it will be better or worse…
It’s just another day for me, to let my perseverance immerse.      

You struggle, you fail! You learn to live with a burden & a sad tale.
Though you make bad choices along the way,
never give up even when you bear hardships every day.

You are not home until the road ends,
& it will keep moving, whatsoever your story pretends.  

Keep walking like this, even when the wind blows hard…
Just keep going on, even if something has been torn apart.

The realization of missing something, will shake your faith to the core…
Only if you keep on believing your dreams, the road will allow you to walk more.  

To those who are wandering on the road, so afraid to miss the view…
Have you been listening closely now, for the road have always something new?
The road is far and long, carrying mysterious and hushed stories along…
Don’t lose all your hope & heart, for the road is your destination since the start.
