I used to breathe in darkness
But then I learnt I'm useful
I learnt I can write
And my troubles float away
I learnt that I don't need people
To make me feel better

I learnt that it's okay to be sad
But I can still get better
I learnt that talking to people
Helped me with my problems
I learnt that I am me
Someone no one else can be

I learnt that I could get better
And anyone can get better too

You are you
Nobody else will be

Mankind has mastered arts
Yet still want to draw and write
Mankind placed it's foot on the moon
Yet a little voice said further

Mankind had wielded nature
Yet is still eager to learn
Mankind has found  secrets of earth
Yet still we go deeper

We break our limitations
We push off our training wheels
We shatter exceptions
We push ourselves
And as such we're great

As time drifts
There are fewer rainclouds
But it's still raining
I still feel heavy
But some weight has been lifted
I am quiet
But no longer silent
Every breath is less bitter
But is not savoured
The scars haven't healed
But they have faded
I still feel the pain
But it's now healing

You must walk perfectly in line
You must all look the same
What do they want?
Students or tin soldiers?

One uniformed colour only
No uniqueness allowed
What do they want?
Students or tin soldiers?

They must monitor
They must control
What do they want?
Students or tin soldiers?

Free will is wrong
Free speech is wrong
What do they want?
Students or tin soldiers?

They won't allow this
It speaks the truth
What do they want?
Students or tin soldiers?

A smile is just a mask we wear
No true sentiment of what lurks inside
Just a Veil to hide the true emotions

A smile is just a mask we wear
A laugh blocks out somber cries
A grin hides the self hatred
A smile is just a mask we wear

I wear my mask because I am scared
Scared  people mock my vulnerability
Scared I will be burden to my friends
A smile is just mask we wear

What makes a good man?
Is a good man Born kind
Or does he look at the world decided?
What is a good man?

A man can call himself a "good man"
Does that make him a good?
Is what you see as right good?
Or does every idea have validity?

A pacifist could be a good man
Yet he shall stand by his morals
Amongst those he could've saved
Is a good man war-like?
Does he fight the good fight?

Does a good decided who is right?
Or does he keep balance and order?
Does a good stand by those he loves?
Or does fight for the "good guys"?

Does "good" exist?
Does "evil" exist?
Are they subjective?
Is anyone truelly "good" or "evil"?

I feel compassion for my fellow man?
Does that make me a good man?
I judge those who act without reason
Does that make me a bad man?

I feel hatred yet love
I judge yet also forgive
I am prideful and yet humble
Am I "good man" ?

I don't want her to change in anyway.
I fell in love with her the way she is
Even if she has a flaw
It just makes her more flawless

Whenever the darkness gets stronger
I remember she is in my life
And hope is revived
Life has its meaning
Existence has its point

She makes me glad to be alive
Her smile lightens my mood
Her laugh makes me want to keep joking
She makes me want to get up each day
Just to talk to her

I write this with pen and paper
Because I am too scared to tell her
She means everything to me
I wish I could tell her I love her
