At Crossroads, Again!

When it turns unbearable to carry the cross on one's shoulders. When the burden turns immense. When the crown of thorns starts to make its foray into your bones after its done with flesh. When sweat turns into tears. When the odometer of tolerance reads past the limits on the signboard. When the layer of patience is measured in nanos and picos. When the breath slows down. When the pulse loses its curve. When you begin to wonder if you are awake or asleep. That's when the drive to fight dies within. That's when there's the collapse. That's when the dusk falls. The night engulfs. When the eyes are too tired to keep themselves awake. That's when the lids shut and you run. You run. You run as if you have seen a snake. You run without thoughts, you run without goals, you run without dreams, you run without knowing the way now or the path ahead. You run callous to today and oblivious of tomorrow. You just run. You run. Run, run, run and run till you escape.

Graffiti decorations
Under a sky of dust
A constant wave of tension
On top of broken trust
The lessons that you taught me
I learned were never true

Now I find myself in question....
[They point the finger at me again]
Guilty by association....
[You point the finger at me again]

I wanna runaway
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind

Paper bags and angry voices
Under a sky of dust
Another wave of tension
Has more than filled me up
All my talk of taking action
These words were never true

Now I find myself in question....
[They point the finger at me again]
Guilty by association....
[You point the finger at me again]

I wanna runaway
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind

I'm gonna runaway
and never say good bye...
[Gonna runaway, Gonna runaway, Gonna runaway, Gonna runaway]
I'm gonna runaway
And never wonder why...
[Gonna runaway, Gonna runaway, Gonna runaway, Gonna runaway]
I'm gonna runaway
And open up my mind...
[Gonna runaway, Gonna runaway]
Lies...
[Gonna runaway, Gonna runaway]
Lies...
[Gonna runaway, Gonna runaway]
Lies...

I wanna runaway
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind

I wanna runaway
And open up my mind...
I wanna runaway
And open up my mind...
I wanna runaway
And open up my mind...
I wanna runaway
And open up my mind

So, the choice has finally been made. The weeks to come are gonna show if the events are gonna get in the way of it, or are making way for it.

But, whatever the outcome be, after every dusk, there is dawn. After every night, there is day. After darkness, light and after Tamass, there's Jyoti.

Tamasomaa Jyotirgamaya.
