Pain said I will find strength in him.
It was a lie!
I searched...
             and SEARCHED...
                          AND SEARCHED.
All I found was tears
I thought they were of joy
but NAH...
They were of pain himself,
together with heartbreak

He made me go through the worst,
and he then said again, I don't have to search for strength but I have to earn it.
That's when I became strong and decided to face him
It's good to be back...

I'd rather
Lambada

Slow dance?
Oh, no chance
It's simply
A love trance

Am I to young for this?
The hate I see unveiled
It spreads like the sickness
Am I too young for this?
My body is weak and hurt
It begs for forgiveness
Are we to young for this?

I was caged with darkness
Anger was my only friend
My enemies were the ones who couldn't tolerate my friend

There was no good me
There was only the impatient, aggressive and troubled me.
I hated many with passion
and expected good things to come my way

I was lost

In my life's journey, I met others who, like me, had lost their way.

She keeps songs
locked away in boxes
like secrets.
She will take them out
like postcards
to help her remember
the feeling of
a different time,
a different person
by her side.
She likes the one
that makes her
eyes close
to see the lights.
She smiles at
the one that  
makes her stand
up on tiptoes,
the one that
helps her forget
she doesn’t know
what to do
with her hands.

The tune
will carry her.

Like it did
the times when
voices broke
like a heart.
When instruments’ strings
would snap
and hurt.

Heart destroying me
Trying to please everyone
Mind looking out for me
But it's overworking itself
Wanting to fill all the holes the heart leaves behind
Now am overthinking everything
coz my mind is all over
