I knew her

She'd love you harder on days you can't love yourself
She's not the trees or the birds, neither is she the sun nor the stars
And she'd never be a person, cos deep within she's a state of mind

Why can’t I be them?

Shai

Why can’t I be them?

I sit in a lonely corner.
Watching minutes go by.
The world spins around me.
And still no one can explain why.
Why I’m so hurt, in a world full of joy.
Why I’m so dark, in a world full of light.
No one can explain why I’m the only one. Sitting in this corner. While the other kids run

Sad Song

Sad Song

Lifes tragically hard
more things going wrong

Sometimes I do wonder
how sorrowful
the lyrics would be
if written as a song

A song of great love
friendship
contentment
and trust

Of passion
happiness
beauty
and
lust

Of illness
tragedy
loneliness
and fear

Of anger
confusion
and heartbreak
over the one I hold dear

What sad lyrics they'd be
If my life with you
were a song
