The streets don’t sleep, the people fight, Not for justice—just for their right. No trust in laws, no faith in guards, Only fists and broken shards. The rich feast high, the poor dig deep, Dreams are sold, and hope is cheap. The land they love is signed away, By hands they swore would keep them safe. No sirens call when cries are heard, No badges shine, no promised word. The land once green, the rivers wide, Now choked by greed, the people cry. Gold and soil, once free to till, Stolen by those who eat their fill. Promises fall like dying leaves, Signed in ink that no one reads. The cops don’t come, the law’s not fair, Only power speaks, but does not care. From villages lost to towered steel, The farmers weep, the hungry kneel. Their voices drowned, their pleas ignored, By men who sit and count their hoard. So they rise with fire in their eyes, For only they can break these ties.

Forgotten Children of The Promises Land
I can't sleep Everytime I remember your words They snap and recoil And hurt me awake Next time when someone Promises me forever I'll just smile Look them in the eyes and ask How long is forever to you.

Forever to you
You crying without a tears, You laughing without a smile draws on your face, But still, you saved your friends, Risking everything just for somebody else sake. You're hero without a cape for us, Even tho we never know that you hold everything alone, Fighting your illness all by yourself. But now you can take a breathe, Now you can feel relief, Its your finish line, All this time you running without a leg, Now you have your own wings to fly into a better place up there. I love you, brother. Sincerely, moonlight knight sister.

Goodbye, Moon light knight.
your name is forbidden in my mouth or in my heart because when i think about you; i'll cry a little more, hurt a little stronger love a little softer because you no longer make me feel sober i'm drunk on the memory of you

drunk on you
Who am i? Why i can't smile anymore? I don't recognize myself these days What am i? I don't know exactly what am i, I feels like a dead man walking through the night and day. Why can't i feel love anymore? The kind one The warm one The most i wanted just being loved. Hey, old friend How's you going? I came here every single day when the sun is set , when i'm feel sad, I read on your epitaph.. Its Such a great words "Light will be shine on you." Why you just go without saying any goodbye? Are you forget about our promisses? Well, right now, I think it'll be just me. Me, myself, and i. Now, i had to love myself.

Smile.
Why do you, with your small hands, try to carry all these wounds on your back? It isn’t for anyone’s sake, please don’t push yourself too hard, Why am I.... while hesitating, i unable to escape? What I hope is for the sun, the sun to light the way. Find the way though in this glowing cosmos our hands can’t quite reach each other, We depend on only our resounding love, Because at the end of the path we’ve travelled, we’ll find the light. You said, “I had a long dream… It was a very sad dream", But what I saw wasn’t one bit clouded, I said, “It’s okay to cry, because I’ll stay by your side no matter what.” All I wish is for a hand, a hand to reach up to me Find the way, Even without words, Even without wings to fly on, As long as we stand our ground in the wind, Even if we’re the first ones afflicted with this pain. Giving an answer surely isn’t everything I’ll be patient, it’s all right, and so you are. We'll find the light, You’ll find the way.

Hope for a light.
Dear myself, Thank you for surviving all these years, even if we know that we're struggling. Thank you for being strong, to face all the problem, even if we're the only problem. I know you're tired, me too. I know you're hurting, me too. I know you're barely breathing, me too! I know you can't even show your smile anymore. But, thank you for already survive these hard years. Thank you.

A letter for myself
The Debt comes first, When i live my life like a surf. Up and down, Rose blooms in black, Lose something who never come back. I read on your epitaph, It said "the beloved one". But i think it must be "the most loved." I just can't lift the weight I'm too tired. I need a little break. I hate to admit it. I was weak.

I hate you.
This girl I know She is just ... like a book. Her cover is so beautiful And yet ... forever changing looks. But this girl's beauty Is unlike any that you've seen. It really comes from all those pages Those pages in between. Each page tells a story Some of sorrow oh so sad. But for every one of those that you read You'll find one of better time's she's had. This girl I know She rules a realm that no one ever see's. This girl will never show it to you And she will never show it to me. This girl is tough And dauntless and strong. This girl she sings The most beautiful songs. This girl will never let you see her cry. This girl will never answer you why. This girl she doesn't need wings to fly. Because this girl ... She is the sky. You will find her overhead Every day and every night. Her sun will warm the hardest heart And her stars they shine so bright. If you should ever catch her and open that book You'd better read as fast as you can. Standing still in any one place Is never in her plans. But, this girl I know isn't running from something And it's not that she's some bird on a wire. She isn't blindly running through time, you see This girl I know ... She has a world to set on fire.
