Brighten Like a Moon

Millions of stars in the sky,
But who stares them
Rise and shine all the night,
Still can't remove the darkness.

One lonely moon comes
Spreading its rays
Cooling everyone's eyes
Fills every mind with elixir. 

This world is very big,
Filled with humans
Everyone's a little star
Become a moon and brighten.

Today I Am Feeling Very Sad

Today I Am feeling very sad,
As though anyday I feel good!

Life's irony never change,
Mans loyalty deviate
But who knows how much he is on the track.
Life is visual, life's illusion
We don't believe what we see,
People call us blind.
Nobody wants to listen whats right if it don't match their opinions;
You don't meet others to match but correcting and adopting.
They mock us proclaiming, "He is just a falling comet. Lets just watch him fall and enjoy."

My friends think I am a fool.
And those who think I am a genious are my enemies.
My friends were many but now decreasing.
I wonder if I started becoming more wise or they...
