You're flying
over the city of your dreams,
like a butterfly.
It's the night.
You see all the lights
coming from the buildings.
You see a lot of people;
happy people...sad people.
You're trying to understand
their story
by watching them.
You can feel
what they're feeling  
and you'd like to help the sad,
but also would like to be
with the happy ones.
It starts to rain.
Your clothes are getting
all soaked up.
But the rain is warm,
so you don't mind
being wet.
In the far
you see a little girl.
You are flying to her.
As closer you get
you're wondering
why she looks so familiar.
The rain stops
and you are almost at her.
The girl laughs,
but you can see
that she also has tears of sorrow
on her cheeks.
As you're landing in front of her,
you see why you know her.
She is you
and you remember,
why you were flying.
not really a poem...more like a story. But it was on my mind and needed to get out.
With a mug of tea in her hands she was sitting on the floor at her house. In the dark. All by herself. She was listening to some music from a various playlist,  but really didn't care. She watched herself in the mirror,  she knows her demons were back. It has been a long time since they were with her. She doesn't like them and they know that. But for this night she greeted them with her mug thinking by herself "you won't stay long,  as I don't allow this anymore". Smiling and drinking her tea.  "Soon one of us will be gone".
Fly
fly away and take me with you
I want to see the stars
I want to fly through the clouds


I want to be where I can be who I am
I want to be where all dreams are coming true
I want to fly with the birds


fly away and take me with you
fly as high as you can and hold me tight
I know I can trust you


please don't leave me back behind
take me with you
let us be together


just you and me and the stars in the sky

While the sun is shining on my face
I’m wandering around
Thinking about the things I’ve said and done

I tried my best to be a good girl
Though whatever I said or did
Someone took it the wrong way

Wondering what I could have done differently
To make things got worse
To make things being better

I’m still wandering as the sun goes down
The night is coming and I don’t know
How to handle everything, as I still want to be a good girl

I know that some things can’t go back to
That some things will stay as they have to be
But I want to try to change things for the future

The night is keeping me in its arms
While I’m on my way back
Feeling safe and confident

I know I’m a good girl
And whatever I say or do it’s not my fault
Someone could take it the wrong way

Give me shelter
Just for one night

I need to be somewhere else
Hide away

Maybe I am wrong
But I need to go

Just for one night
Please let me stay

Tomorrow I will leave
Go someplace else

Tomorrow I will know
If I can go back

But now it’s too much
I need to rest

Please give me shelter
I beg you to have mercy

Please let me rest
Just this night, because tomorrow I’m gone
When you feel nothing at all
It can’t be real
You have to feel something, haven’t you?

But what if pain is too hard to take?
What if there are no more tears to cry?
What if you could hear your heart break?

You move on
Day by day – night by night
Like a ghost
Hoping no-one would pay attention

One day – you know –
You can feel again
Your heart will grow
When you stop the pain

A road to nowhere?
Somewhere?
The endless way of hope

Following this road
With no regrets
Following it to the end

A road to happiness?
Sadness?
A way to find yourself

The end of the road
Does it exist?
Do you want to believe in?

A road to you?
To me?
The way to us

Finding you and me
Forever and ever
Is this the end?
