If can can’t why can’t can,
I always wonder when I think about those who think they can,
Much to do with talking and nothing to do with action,
We have praised them, for we thought they can,
If can can’t why can’t can,

With little we have we have raised them to the highest mountains,
For we know we can’t, and we thought they can,
Yet they have enriched their pockets and rendered us obsolete,
If can can’t why can’t can,

They have told us we can’t and they can,
But I did be in despair for we can’t and they can’t either,
So today I ask why?
If can can’t why can’t can.

But in life politicians use us because they know we are useful and we think we are useless,
they will always use us and comfort us with lies

I’m afraid of anything
I’m afraid of something
I’m afraid of breathing
I’m afraid of clothing
I’m afraid of everything
I’m afraid of being afraid
i fear, fear itself

Breaking me create more little mirrors
I think I’m a mirror
I act like a mirror
I feel like a mirror

I break like a mirror
I look like a mirror
I know I’m a mirror
So breaking me create more little mirrors
a mirror when broken becomes many little mirrors and such should be life

I’m interested in her,
And she is interested in me,

I keep her interested and she keeps me interested,
When I looked at the richness of her youth,
I became interested,
Even today when I look at that lovely full moon face,
I become interested,
Still I will hear her voice as sweet as music,
I will become interested,
I’m an interesting man, and she is an interesting woman,
I keep her interested and she keeps me interested,

I’m interested in her,
And she is interested in me,
every woman is interesting if you make her interesting and interested

I’m indecisive, I act indecisively but today,
I have decided not to fight people,
Have decided not to argue with people,
Have decided not to hate other people,
Have decided not to compete with them,

But I did be in despair, for I fear my weakness, i may be tempted to decide, but if I’m tempted to decide, i will decide not to decide.

I suffer from indecision but for now,
I have decided not to be jealousy,
Have decided not to be greedy,
Have decided to be selfish,
Have decided not to do all of that,

But I did be in despair, for I fear my weakness, i may be tempted to decide, but if I’m tempted to decide, i will decide not to decide.
Always make decisions, but if you cannot,then decide not to decide

I am of smiles and you of tears.
I like to spend my time outside and you of quarantine.

I am of progress and you of regress.
While i like unity you are of division.
I am of health and you of disease.

While i am of hope you of hopelessness.
It was perfect before you existed.
But in the midst of despair we will defeat you some how.

If love is matter then it must have three states, so do I believe,

If love is solid then it must be a fruit, how sweet the taste,
We love it,
We eat it,
We want it, we need it,
How delicate, how adorable, every season it comes in new types,
But if not consumed will certainly rot,

If love is a liquid, then it must be water, found everywhere,
We dig wells to find it,
We cook with it,
Bath with it,
How precious the liquid is,
But if left in open will evaporate,

If love is gas,
Then it must be oxygen,
We breathe it,
We can't see it but need it
We know it exist but, can't touch it...

If love is matter then it must have three states, so I do believe,
if everything has three states so love must be

What isn't isn't
What isn’t coming isn’t going
What isn’t sweet isn’t bitter
What isn’t falling isn’t climbing
What isn't isn't
What isn’t good isn’t bad
What isn’t laughing isn’t crying
What isn't yours, isn't yours
Don’t get confused if it does not work for you it doesn’t mean it does not work, its just not for you for what is not yours is not yours

To understand what love is we must understand what it is not,
Love is not jealousy, jealousy is fear and fear is the opposite of love,
If love fears it’s not love its something else,
Love doesn’t hurt, if something hurts it oppose the nature of love,
If love hurts, then it’s not love its something else,

Love is not a want; love is a need and not a want,
If love is what we want, then we don’t want love we want something else,
Love has no experience we learn everyday,
If love has experience then its not love its something else,
Love it self can not be understood but we can understand what it is not, love is not something else,
There are things we think are love yet they are just something else

What would happen if?
If i say i love you, will you love me too?
If i say i care will, you care about me too?
You see I love you I must admit I fear lack of impression,
A girl so cute enough to make anyone jealousy I fear competition,
I spend sleepless night thinking of you yet I fear rejection,
I know you admire me a lot but, what will happen if?
If I call your name will you call mine too?
If i miss u will you miss me too?
So what would happen if?
sometimes you love and you fear at the same time then you start to ask yourself what would happen if
