I didn't think twice
for which I paid the price
Aiming for new heights
I now select my fights

gone are those summer days
when blood rushed like wine
our skin turned brown
'coz the sun never went down
but now it feels like
we're stuck in winter
didn't even know who
changed the picture
the sky turned grey
and the cold has crept in

"You are beautiful", says the mirror.
My mind sneers, "Here's another liar."

My knight had no armour
nor did he come on a horse
he knocked on my door
bare chest and in shorts

I try to escape from the rhymes
But they find me between the lines
Words jump out from conversations
My trigger to articulated aspirations
I promise them a new sentence
Some agree with reluctance
While you are building castles
I'm writing down time capsules

No matter how many times
the voice in my head comes up
with reasons to leave
my heart whispers
“Stay. Don’t give up.”

We’re told we don’t fit
What do they know
but a lil bit?
From where we sit
You and I know it
We’re in it
‘til the last spit

yesterday you were here
today i am not there
tomorrow we'll be nowhere
coz we won't be here or there
