As I continue my journey
through the horrors of dreadful life,
my past casts a shadow
over my true side.
I want to be happy
I want to be cheerful
but the evil in my mind
pushes me from behind,
Reminding me of my past sins
I seek to know my fault
he just smiles and tells
You tried to be helpful
You tried to be good
and the gift you got in return
is a couple of strange looks.
Upon this I ponder everyday,
I ponder every night
but pondering again and again
does not take me to any conclusion
May doing good to others
may sharing sufferings of others
be a sin
I resolve to commit it again and again
whatever the reward
bouquets or brickbats
I don't mind.
