She
looked for
love in
closed lips;
being deaf
to all the
rest calling
out
her name.

In this
special time
my hand will
take a dress
to attend the
paper floor and
to dance with
a colorful pen

For your beautiful
Birthday
Tonight

Happy Birthday
Amina

there's a lock between you and me
and i can't find the key
i don't think i'll ever find it
because there's something stopping me
it always stops me
pulls me back
drags me down
in my dark place

when i'm alone it reminds me
of my problems
of my weakness
even if i think i'm strong
it manipulates me
and keeps me inside

i learned to live with it
but sometimes it overcomes me
and i fall down
i can't learn to live with it

i call it anxiety
