Ana Sophia

they say love is not supposed to hurt
but it does.
it hurts to say it.
it hurts to feel it.
it hurts to know it.

but maybe it's not the love itself
that is painful.
what's painful are the cracks
and ropes
that trap us to this mess.
I'm tired of being trapped here
and I'm tired of feeling hurt.
I wanna escape
but there's not a single way out

Simple choices

I am not a slave, no.
Yet,
I am enslaved
By the:
Systems which you created
The history which you teach me
the name which you give me because mine is "too hard" to pronounce

I am not a slave, no.
But I am enslaved
By the societies which you have created that does not allow me to spread my,
Beautiful.
Black.
Wings.

I am not a slave, no.
My ancestors just made the wrong choice.

Gift

Write me up into a song
Sing me on your lips
Feel me on your fingertips
Hold me and save me
Tell me I am yours
Wash away my insecurities
Open up, for me, new doors
Because I would do it all for you
And so much more

Her Favorite Song

The universe puts her headphones on
And plays her favorite track
The raindrops in the meadow burst
And soak the earth
And with her feet up on the world
She smiles from ear to ear
And plays it back

What songs does the universe listen to? Is there a more beautiful sound than the rain falling in the secluded meadow. Truthfully, I don't know. But I do love the sound of these words as they roll off the tongue. YUPP!

Tie them for good

When you see the closest person avoid you
When they are the only one you pursue
There you'll have the pain in heart and soul too
The confused state and don't know what to do
But still you have got those little hope
They still think that is a kind of dope
Without knowing it is the worst *****
And you'll make it better 'cause your the rope

Unexpected change

Woke up with usual daily routine
Terribly wanting for a change
Moody, and makes everyone go mad
Still not satisfied, maybe wants getting wider
And finally the most awaited day arrived
The change! But is this the change i wanted?
I think better was the days before

Maybe I should control

I didn't think taking decision may be tough
Leaving hurts but staying is also rough
I don't want it, This is enough
Maybe this is so usual in love
Whenever you hurt and show the white dove
I should not accept everything you do and bow
I should start being me and stop staying low
Sometimes never stay, just let it go
Better tell the death sentence than the vow
I know I badly want you but I choose a "NO"
