I could be a happy song,
a breeze through your hair
a breath of fresh air
but I can't right your wrongs

I can teach you how to sing,
to live a life wild and free
I'll reveal to you the beauty
that waits in corners,
hiding

because it's the little things
the sweet, sweet nothings
that mean everything

when you learn to see,
come and walk with me

Regrets.

I could not stand it, being in this rut.
I want to leave, I want to escape.
I feel so trapped, I feel so lost.
Regrets are so loud, I could not hear my own voice.
I want to rest in peace just to silence the noise,
but I know taking myself to the next life would bring another disappointment.
And I am afraid of being a failure once more.
I do not wish to be.
[from my depression diary]
Whispering winds blow across my face
Soothing my troubled soul

Whispering winds blow across my face
Bringing sweet scents of flowers

Whispering winds blow across my face
Lifting me up

Whispering winds blow across my face
Healing my pain

Whispering winds blow across my face
Reminding me of you
If a writer
Falls in love with you
       you can never
                die................
