I am so closed with you...

I am so closed with you

yet I am so far from you

the language you speak

is the language I pick

I am so near with you

yet I am lost in your world

every gesture you hold

melts my heart away - hurt

I am so closed with you

yet I am so far from you

I do not belong here

as no one hears

I am so near with you

yet I am lost in your world

every word you say

say it right or you misuse your rights

dim the lights of a bright.

Breakthrough

I am not frightened of new ideas

but I am frightened of old ideas

John Cage writes, inspires the rest

motivates the ones who want to be the best 

I am not frightened of new ideas

new ideas bring breakthrough

beyond its horizon

old ideas intimidate breakthrough

remain at its comfort zone

I am not frightened of new ideas

though humiliation, teases reflects rejection

turn those into determination

strength; to overcome the voice of refusal

ease the stress, ignore harsh statements

I am not frightened of new ideas

if you desire an ideal change

clench your fist quench your thirst 

with water of persistence

walk out from the resistance 

reaching for the stars

you are near - the breakthrough.
