Sad thoughts swimming
like fish in the sea
in my mind they inhabit
they stay and roam with me

They're my company
in solitude and downs
like clowns comforting children
with ugly faces and frowns

I tried to shake them away
for I feel hopeless and forlorn
"It's not that easy", they say.
"We're better left alone."

I was walking in a dark forest
I was crying softly, looked down below
hugging myself tightly
when it began to snow

Puzzled I was, because it's the middle of June
I stopped crying and looked up at the sky
It was indeed snowing
I started walking and thinking "but how and why?"

As I took fast paced steps, I noticed the leaves, brown and fragile
it suddenly turned autumn
leaves were falling everywhere
how so? I could not fathom

When I finally reached the end of the darkness
it suddenly turned hot and warm
I wasn't just puzzled, I was confused
the sun was smiling, with its grace and charm

the world isn't cruel by far
its inhabitants are
for they can pierce a soul
can pierce something whole

my heart's bleeding
blood's pouring
it has been struck by words
words as sharp as a sword

so i bid farewell
from my old, lonely cell
for i'm about to fly
time for me to say goodbye

it's 3am
and i still feel the same
again and again
with this aching pain

no matter how hard i try forget
sad thoughts is all i get
no matter how hard i cry
no matter how hard i try.

What was once a grand home
became a place of sin, and despair,
where people feel gloomy and alone
where is unity? where is care?

A place I used to adore.
A place considered precious
became a battleground of gore
where the selfish and cruel were victorious.

Poor souls fled.
Hearts were heavy with sorrow,
hearts bled.
For they believe there's no tomorrow.

War, so unmusical a word
is others' favourite melody.
The sound of peace they couldn't afford.
That's why the war record is worn out already.

What should've been a mansion
of love, peace and understanding
became a wild forest, a dungeon
where no one can do anything.

The wails of our fellowmen,
the cries of the dead,
shook our once strong walls of cement.
Our beautiful home became their deathbed.

Life can be cold, dreary and dark
so dark, you can't even see a tiny little spark
it's full of memories, some happy, some sad
but come to think of it, life isn't all that bad

Sometimes, we feel nothing but grief and shame
these feelings we're feeling, who is to blame?
think brightly! think positively!
tell your mind to be happy!

Those times we've had that cause us to frown
my, we should forget those times and smile like a clown!
for those are over, finished and done!
enjoy your precious life because there is only one.

Gloomy and dark skies
meet my chocolate brown eyes
the view took me to the past
like a wheel in the air, spinning fast

The past I buried under
returned in my mind, things I used to ponder
I shake my weary head and sighed
wipe away the tears which I couldn't hide

Hugged myself as I stroll
carried my heart that was once whole
accepted the fact that what's done is done
accepted the fact that the enemy has won.
