I talked
and told them about what bothered me
They did not listen

I shouted
to let the anger out
because I was angry that
They did not listen

I cried
to show them the hurt
They did not care
None of them understood my language because
They never listened

I realised that they never listen
I decided to be silent
My silence bothers them
so now they want to listen
and now ain't the right time to talk

I no longer need them

Time knew you were mine
so you travelled miles
to find me

In the world where everyone is a prisoner
yet they claim to have freedom.
None of them understand "Freedom"

Which freedom are you talking about?

when money determines what you can/can not be

when anger punishes you for someone's mistakes

when fear wraps around you when it becomes dark

when you're jailed with depression and anxiety after  failing yourself

Is that freedom?

There's no such thing as freedom
It's a word used to manipulate you psychologically, emotionally and spiritually.

So do you still believe there's freedom in this world?

A strange word
which bring people together or apart
A feeling which holds a room for other emotions
It goes a long way with everything

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 is a heavy word
Especially when my lungs cough it out
or my ears collect its waves

A goodbye doesn't guarantee us that we will meet again
It guarantees us that it will bring a new hello and that's not what I want
A new hello won't be the same as yours

I'd rather say
Until I see you again

Winter melody
The melody that fuel me with energy
The energy that fills empty holes within

It is the melody composed by nature

The Melody of the whistling wind
Making trees to shake off their butts
moving left and right
following the rhythm
Leaves whipping as they hit the ground
Birds chirping
rejoicing for a beautiful day

It is an enchanting melody composed by nature

Pain became the silencer
those who understood my silence
knew words that spoke volume were said in silent

You became cruel
You ran away from me when I needed you most
You vanished into thin air in a wink of an eye
Just after you realised I was with you

You left me clueless
You drained out everything
I was left dry and my world cracked
I didn't know where to look for you

Without you
Arguments became my language
Wars became my hobbies
Battlefield became home
Eventually I engaged to all of that

I swam in an ocean of negativity
Searching high and low for you...and myself                     because then-I
                                  felt lost
After a while I realised you didn't belong there
I felt hopeless
Where could you be?

Truth I ran and can't be found
I could not handle you
Your heart was full of pain
Tons of emotions overpowered me
Anger stood high
That's not where I belong
I need you to contain your emotions and remain humble
I will be found and help you to discover yourself

I was a child who was everything
but she became nothing
She was adopted by the world full of sorrrow
The world that made her broken
The world which she worn its scars,
That made life H
                                   E
                                           L
                                                 L
She was a dead walking man

Until one day, I met him
I looked into his eyes,
Eyes with sparkles of change.
He made life H
                            E
                                A­
                                    V
                          ­              E
                                           N
He smiled at me and,
his smile repaired my broken parts.
His lips uttered the words "I love you"
and they made me a complete angel because...
Now my scars are seen as stars.

It is factitious
It fooled you
You saw perfection in it  
The world in an
image was perfect but ain't world is perfect

You misinterpreted perfect
Your perfect was everyone being flawless and all the same...

Perfect is flaws
Perfect is uniqueness
Perfect is every story

My story is you,babe
Real, flawed and emotional
It is way too perfect
It is different

Appreciation rules it
Love and care save it
I strengthen it
A feeling keeps it solid
Together, we an inspiration

We said we gonna take it slow...
Until our first date,
We realized that we were driving at 180km/h,
Imitating Micheal Schumacher.
Forgetting at the end of the road there's a sharp turn
We crashed.

I know love kills, but a slow death
So, I thought...I'd find cure for this love
Not realizing, this love is not poisonous but corrosive
It is very toxic as a Sulfuric acid
Once it gets hold of you
It shreds you into nothing
Same time we forget about your existence
That's what this love does

mine hurt
coz they come with expectations

and nothing has ever happened the way I've expected it

I am your energy
You irrigate plants with me
Plants which gives food
Food which is your energy

I am misclean liquid washer
I energise the inside part of the human bodies.

Love was our story
Strange was the headline
Your love was unusual
Strong in pain
                    in dreams
                               and in promises
Your promises were just words

Lies became you
Very manipulative with your mind
Buried the poor truth
Honesty was no more
Loyalty was hard labour
Commitment never existed

Lies became our story
Regret was the headline
Sorrow developed
Pain buried joy
Your love brought hate
Regret became me

Our story is history

He was mis-taken as my soulmate
Only to be discovered as a friend
But friends don't exist in his world
Family do

I made him a brother
But he wanted to be more
He became my everything
In storm he became my shield
In war he became my army
In pain he became my joy

Life transformed into a rainbow because rainy days he was my sunshine.
He made me god and became my angel

Being part of her made her world forever spring
Where toxic was past,
Everything was a fresh start
And the beauty of nature was appreciated,
The greeny grasses
The bright clear skies
The colorful flying creatures
And the blossoming of flowers which remind me of her pure soul full of love and care

I became *LIFE*

Karma brought equality
But failed to keep balance
Everything was on water
Ready to sink and drown
because everyone wanted to be the same
Revenge and avenge became the authority

Life:
I realised I was hell myself
I played a part in every story
Different but all the same in sin

I brought confusion
Happiness was misunderstood
My demons were doing well
Turning the world upside down
'Lost'concluded every thought,feeling and story

Devils were proven right

It made the love between us alive
It built a bond and kept us unbreakable

Yet we betrayed it
Our lies were overpowering

Trust  b
              r
                o
                  k
                    e         
                        the bond
Some of it went missing
Our love died

The trust left was not enough for us  to believe  the love reigning

Trust said: "I am a catabolic yet an anabolic of every bond and am hard to be restored."

I've been waiting for this day
Since day one,the time I was born
Seeing light for the very first time
And heard sweet voices of singing birds

I grew up with loneliness waiting for my one
The one who made me to go out there and look for outside love
The one who made me realise that my beauty is inside and also outside
Who is this one?
I think you should know

It is the gentleman I met
Who held me up when I couldn't stand
Who wiped away the tears I cried
Who gave me power when I felt hopeless
Who sang for me and made me feel like I'm in my dreams

This gentleman was the one and only
who made me to have love forever and always in my heart
He was the one meant for me
My TRUE LOVE
