Fake promises, Fake promise,
and your words so sweet.
I, the innocent girl becomes crazy

you tell me you love me,
But all you want is to satisfy your selfish desires.
You tell me I am the most beautiful girl in the world,
but all you want is to flatter me.

You tell me you will never leave me whatever happens
But all you want is to make me lose my guard,
Time comes when I am pregnant
You tell me you are not responsible, that you are too young
You tell me you cannot marry an ugly person like me.
That I am not your class, that I am it wasn’t you,
The most beautiful girl in the world I was, but now I am no more.
A fatherless child comes into the world
No one to call dad, No one to lift her when she falls down and hurts herself
No one to run to when mum spanks her
Your fake promises, your foolish promises
Oh selfish boy, master of lies
Who have brought all these misery on me and on your innocent child
whom you have rejected.

Will I believe you boy, Never never in my life
I will be master of myself, I will control my destiny  
I will educate myself  and Show you what I can do, foolish boy the master of lies.

Let Me Be A Child
by Mirriam Mk Salati

The age of innocent looted violently
The narrated tale of the order met harshly
Let me feel secure in my home
Let me realise that love is always the norm
I cant remember the sunshine on my face
I work all day in a cramped space
I cant remember how it feels to play free
I cant recall how it feels to climb a tree
Sharttered-self-worth from blows and knocks
A"good" child keeps quite never talks
Let me know when I make you proud.
Help me to have pride in my own accomplishments
And let me earn your trust
Trust me and i wont let you down
Let me try my wings,sour through the sky,
touching evry cloud
If i fail let me know its ok then encourage me to try again.... and whats More' Let me be a Child'

a "good" child keeps quite never talks
let me know when i make you proud
help me to have pride in my own accomplishments
and let me earn your trust
\trust me and i wont let you down
let me try my wings,sour through the sky
touching every cloud
if i fail let me know its ok then encourage me to try again
let me know that you love me with a pat or a hug on the back
let me tell you when iam sad and blue
let me tell you when iam angry even at you.
let me know that even on my worst days...
your love is unending always
let me dream......
share with you when my dreams come true
share my tears when they dont.
and pretend that everything is alright..and then encourage me to try again

A Poem For My Dead Grandma
by Mirriam Mk Salati

Grandma, you're
My heavenly engel
All that you were
Is what inspired me to be
Your home,your love and your warmth
And everything good.
Your arms were always open
And ever ready to shelter me from harm
Your heart was ever full of love
Your words were ever full of hope
And I want you to know
How much I appreciated you and still do
And your unsoiled wings
Your courage and your happiness
You showed me while you're stil alive.
I miss you, all my love

Scivolando silenziosi sulla strada sinuosa senza sentire sapori scientificamente salati serviti solo sui saliscendi solari
Stavamo scalciando scomodi salmi sapendoci signori socchiusi soltanto da errabondi usurai
musa dalle mille parole socchiudi il silenzio sigillando i miei battiti nel delirio di un bacio

A special Friend
by Mirriam Mk Salati

In my life,
i've been up and down,
Sad, sunny,gray, and blue.
But i confess that i was blessed
the day i met you!
\The ones we love will often ask
Can i help you through it?"
But a friend like you
never asks;
you just set out to do it.
\And i can think of
nothing in life
that i'd rather do
than spend my days
with a special friend like you.
