tick to tick to tock to tock
to reminisce to make it stop
to hide my face to never race
to the far away finish line

tock to tock to tick to tick
to make amends to make a fix
to hold a grudge to never budge
to let others take advantage

tick to tock to tick to tock
to have some fun to let things rock
to youthful glows to always grow
to always favor me
red sun, misty sky,
smell of earth and evergreen,
vast uncertainty

Go little sparrow,
fly with your wings,
make sure you get away
from all the cruelty this world brings;
Fly away,because you can,
you don't want to stay here
and witness the fall of man.
Go away now,
because some people wish to be you,
and they will do anything in their power
to fly away too;
Use your wings little bird,
you have a special gift that can make you heard.
Fly away to neverland,
you needn't come back to this land.
The wealth of the world
Inside us,
Lost through the eyes of
Each other.

how we live for other people
There is still so much of myself,
I do not figure out.
My painted frontal,
buries my scars.
My beauteous smile,
conceals my cramps.
Because,
My heeds are full of you
they squeal your name,
In the mist of tragedy.
But still,
I have faith in the
Magic of fairy tales.

Your eyes exclaimed beauty
Witnessing my face
Behind its cosmetic mask
I didn't expect any attention,
But your admiration
Stopped this heart in its tracks
