Savanna
There are some days where knowing what I lack
Rekindles an anger I don't know how to lessen
As I try to reach the knife lodged in my back

The blade sunk deeper and deeper over time
As the stabber kept holding on
Holding me back as I tried to climb

There was no fixing it, no hope
All I could finally do was leave
Believing space and time could help me cope

But bad days still appear suddenly before my face
Where I'm reminded of what I try to ignore
That the role of a mother can't be replaced

It takes so much effort to fake it again and again
To tell myself I don't need a mom, I'm fine
But words can't always hold back the pain

Of the knife she left in my back
my shadow in  pursuit
an angelic silhouette
steadfast
but not synchronized
hiding by the penumbra
you are everything I once was
a hundredth of a second ago
soft white jewels
descend in slow motion
to the tip of my tongue
as the symphonies of winter
are orchestrated at the
hands of a heavenly composer
I bask
as my unwitting eyelashes
collect the notes
Sarah Wilson's blouses
and unmentionables
hang one-hundred feet
above the vacant stomachs of strays
who sniff suspicious puddles
of dumpster runoff
and rainwater

little broken suns
drip down brick mountains
beneath condemned fire escapes

Though I walked in the darkness
I can still feel much happiness;
Though I faced my greatest worries and fears
I can still manage to smile even with tears;
Though I've been mocked by many
I was able to show I have my integrity;
Though been through times so rough
I had been tough enough;
Though they continuously pulled me down
It's still me who won the crown;
Though many times I've been broken
Still, I was able to build up myself again.
All these I have done
Because of the help of the Almighty One.
With him everything is perfect
There's nothing to object.
He loved me so deeply
He cared for me endlessly
With Him, I've never felt so alone,
Been treated like a princess sitting on a throne.
All my life is a big thanks to Him
I can't do anything without Him.
It's his love and greatness
That keeps me feel the genuine happiness.
I really do feel loved by Him :)

Needless to say anything,
Through your actions
I knew
*Everything.

Wasted Time

I know it's just wasted time
As I sit and think of you
I'm holding on to a past
That I know was never true

I know I need to just let go
Of the dream that we once shared
Its a waste of time to feel this way
When I know you never cared

I wonder if you loved me
Like I remember in my heart
It was a waste of time believing
That we would never be apart

I know I must forget your touch
And that promise we would be
For those years we spent together
Are now just wasted time to me
