The whole of me is a broken principal of life The life in me is a restless soul, The tears from my eyes are water-like clear, Yet the colour of the tears from my heart is red The lies in the mirror hide away the truth, Causes my pain to play hide and seek, My face shines like rays of light of a golden red sun, Chasing away the cold and bitter nights When I stare in the mirror I see a reflection of my image, My own picture plays tricks on my thoughts, It tells more about my outward garland, Yet my own presence is poisoning me, Killing softly, the fraction of my true- self The lies in the mirror hide away the reality, All the drama that brought about scars to my heart, I look beautiful in a size seven, But take a walk in my shoes, And realise I'm size sixes and sevens, Living in a minus heaven The whole of me is a broken kingdom, A suncity with dark empty streets, A black night, yet a piece of my shattered heart, I smile, dance, sing, pose and feel like everything, Yet I'm nothing but lies in the mirror

Lies in the mirror
What a shame that colours had to fed to grey The picture blurred and the journey came to an end when the killer came around, dreams were murdered Breath was taken away together with hope Ice cold was the blood freezed in his veins There was no way to keep the Artists soul within his body What a shame that the sunset colours waned to shades of grey The moment doors were closed and light hid in the darkest night The whole ordeal was sad, It was a tragedy to witness the work of a legend with a dying breath, giving up life Trying to sail around the world, he drowned Trying to fly with broken wings, he touched the ground Dust to dust, the spirit moved on, But his work remained behind and was purely glorified Ashes to ashes, his name lived on In the papers, the magazines and pictures on the Tv's A life lived in stardom, a soul burried in legacy

A soul burried in legacy
With a gust of air, you blow our minds, with your loaned swag Your style's a brag, you life's a rug Still, we node our heads in deep worship to the dose of your repudiation You bought yourself a high status, just for mere acceptance And you were left disposed of your real personality, Just for a sheer popularity? But when we snap back to reality, there's a void inside your heart, A broken girl, with a lot insecurities cries out Craving a simple and faultless life, For underneath all that glamour, there's a vacuous and enstranged soul

Underneath all that glamour
Both the brave and cowardly are fearful, but only the brave exhibit a courageous act Both the man of faith and dispair go through a test run, but solely the man of faith prevails Petrified with what might come around deep in your darkest hour, vulnerable, as emotions erupt in a rush and danger crawls fiercely closer. the sweat, anger and all the panic engulfs your senses, but still, the world carries on. When the broken and sinking heart rises above it's bottomless troubles, pain and joy, gain and loss follows in mixed manifestations, courage will standout and peace rise against doubt and uncertainty, Strength will share the pain of your loved ones, but only courage will make you feel your own. In solitary, fear will always show it's face, do not shiver, stand your guard, do not surrender, endure the pressure for it is in solitary that the strong will make a cut in this heartless world. Better is a single act of daring mighty things and fail, than to fail before you try and live amongst those who neither enjoy nor suffer much, those who live in between defeat and victory.

Courage over fear

The whole of me is a broken principal of life The life in me is a restless soul, The tears from my eyes are water- like clear, Yet the colour of the tears from my heart is red The lies in the mirror hide away the truth, Causes my pain to play hide and seek, My face shines like rays of light of a golden red sun, Chasing away the cold and bitter nights When I stare in the mirror I see a reflection of my image, My own picture plays tricks on my thoughts, It tells more about my outward garland, Yet my own presence is poisoning me, Killing softly, the fraction of my true-self The lies in the mirror hide away the reality, All the drama that brought about scars to my heart, I look beautiful in a size seven, But take a walk in my shoes, And realise I'm size sixes and sevens, Living in a minus heaven The whole of me is a broken kingdom, A suncity with dark empty streets, A black night, yet a piece of my shattered heart, I smile, dance, sing, pose and feel like everything, Yet I'm nothing but lies in the mirror

Lies in the mirror
I see the tables turning all the things I touch they seem to turn into dust I see the light inside of me dying right before my eyes and everything I wished for seems so far away if only I could change the stars and make them shine so bright if only I could turn the hands of time and save my past all the things I have said and done would never take me to the ground and everything I wished for would never seem so far away

Everything I wished for
"O God, bless our land of Malawi." a prayer for a warm hearted nation, the first line that ignited the mind of a hero he did a patriotic act, yet lived unknown. Of a beautiful land, of peace, freedom and unity, he sung He prayed that our hearts be joined in combat against fear Against hunger, disease and envy, he prayed. His words made a home in the heart of a nation Fervent and effective, hence peace reigned This prayer stayed on the lips of the nation Called upon mother Malawi to bring out her best Of the unsung hero, i write, Not to praise him but to acknowledge his role, The words he wrote on the tablets of our hearts, A song he sung to the tune of many heartstrings Even if we still sing his song, Of him a song was never sung He did a patriotic act but died penniless

Unsung Hero
Dear spotlight, i must have died upon meeting you, that night, surely, lost my ways when you befriended me, your chanels led me to the nothing i have turned into and the funs you gave me, cheered me to sixfeet under the expensive cars i drove in, the funcy colours you dressed me, the bigger picture you made of me, made me believe heaven was down here on earth the king you made me,all the greener pastures you fed me kept me far from the exit door, Dear spotlight, you gave me fame, riches and power, made me forget my innocent self, you got me hanging on the eleventh hour, contemplating on how i would love to jump out, out of the main stream and continue to daydream in your arms, i found my strength, in my strength, i found my pride, in my pride, i lost my way, i lost my soul, then i lost my wife, but before i lose my life, i want out! out of the main stream and continue to daydream

Dear spotlight
Hardly, the pain cautiously begs off rolling deep inside the sweet bitterness the agony rumbles the best of life Love resounds the angels heart so hard to breath under your thumb your acrimony expels your sensitivity you speak of life without real pleasure your lips can hardly escew real danger your ways bring me to the dark so hard to breath under your thumb sad voices in my soul reaching a fever pitch they rack my brains, my heart, it weeps can rarely love in freedoms drought where my ears are deaf, my voice is dumb so hard to breath under your thumb
