I  was awaken by the song
Playing on the radio
The librettos are familiar
To my ever longing soul
So I get an old photograph
Of us together
I put it on my chest
Close to my heart
As the melody pacifies the air
My soul  sways again
Ah, it is always you, my love
The reason,
My *joie de vivre

The brightest smile of the day
Is early morning sunshine

How can one call for help
When they have no voice?

In this dark world
Helpless cries echo
Helpless cries echo throughout the night
Silence filled with fear
No one knows what's right
You say the end is near
You say you see the light
When you have no voice to scream
For help that you may need
The silence is taking over
A couple more pills and you'll be free

☁️

You won't find a tag hanging from my body
And inscribe on it the word black
No in fact i am not black
I am me

It landed upon your arm
As if it was a branch to rest
But it tickled your flesh
And in your distress
You took its breath
