Do You Remember
Hello. Sorry I had to call.
Trust me, I'm not trying to break the wall
We slowly built after the war.
Either way, do you remember
How our hearts met in December?
Hakuna Matata, yes, like Simba.
Day and night merged as one
When we couldn't tell them apart.
Embers of our love burned fiercely.
Special was that day we lost track of time,
Knocked down by the sweetness of your lips
As we danced to the rhythm of our heartbeats.
Do you remember?
Because I remember it all.
Be well. That is all for this call.

**** THE OLD ME
Part 1: by Noel Simba The Amazing Pencil
**** the old me
The one they took for granted
Uproot the fear they planted
My generosity they called odd
I beat my chest like a gorilla
Hoping my voice would be heard
But without me, they moved ahead
They laughed and jeered
Mocked that heart soft
Part 2: by Jah net AKA Tale Teller
They watched me cry.
Let my tears flow into the ocean.
If my story they've known,
That I suffer from self guilt.
I blame myself for my own existence.
Just **** the old me
They called me weak in their eyes
Like I was nobody's daughter
They called me an error in the mirror
Some night i just wish to drown
In my sleeping sea and see
How the world would run if you **** the old me.

When the sun is up,
songs of every genre
throw a banquet in my head.
They feast on my peace of mind,
and I let them—
rewind every war, every day.
I wake up spinning,
chasing a lottery song.
Every day arrives a sad song,
and I try in vain, hoping for rain.
Inside this house I built,
I find no home, no warmth.
What reason for this season
of hate and torture
and no future?
When the sun goes down,
my shroud of sorrow shimmers,
smiling toward tomorrow—
a tomorrow that’s always hollow.
