    just wrote my mind out... so read on




    With a screwed up past,
    and the futures too bleak,
    i have this present in my hand
    but it aint no gift.

    whatever i do,
    it goes for a toss
    and was a time, when i thought
    i'm the boss

    feeling all alone
    even in the crowd
    as if, my body is in shroud,
    everyone has left with a sigh
    i'm still standing there
    just wondering why?

    i know it won't last
    and things will change,
    but this hope seems
    to be an illusion
    with every situation
    turning strange!

    i dream just like others
    and even i want to make a mark
    so with a prayer on my lip
    i'm waiting for the spark
    just waiting for the spark...

    This was awesome mate, so good that I had to log in and comment which I rarely do.Maybe I like it more than the others cause you've jotted down exactly what's in my mind. As I progressed through it , it felt as if you were drawing the thoughts out of my mind.

    I love this part especially.

    i dream just like others
    and even i want to make a mark
    so with a prayer on my lip
    i'm waiting for the spark

    It's quite good. You seem to have some trouble in a few verses with flow around 2/3rds of the way in, but its not a bad effort.. Here's a few edits I would've made, tell me what you think..

    With a screwed up past,
    and (a) future too bleak,
    i have this present in my hand
    but it aint no gift.

    whatever i do,
    it goes for a toss
    and was a time, when i thought / (i cant recall)
    i'm the boss / (how much i've lost)

    feeling all alone
    even in the crowd
    as if, my body is in shroud,
    everyone has left with a sigh
    i'm still standing there
    just wondering, why?

    i know it won't last
    (that) things will change,
    but this hope seems
    to be an illusion
    with every situation
    turning strange!

    i dream just like others
    and even i want to make a mark
    so with a prayer on my lip
    i'm waiting for the spark
    just waiting for the spark...

    ^ the changes u suggest could be used, i used 'the future' to be specific as everyone want a future of their dream... the 'boss' thing was something i need...u changes cud very well be used otherwise....but at the end..everything is means the same...
    As i said.....'just wrote my mind out'.....thanks for ur comments though.

    @Mazic_man: in that case, really thank you mate... good to knw someone shares the thought...the last para is my favourite too.. thats y i used this title..
