I'm not rich
Nor pinch penny poor
I have gold in my thoughts
I have silvery shining struts

You can't have what I don't have
You can't give me what I don't need

I can't be crazy
You said I lost my mind
If I'm so lazy
Why am I always moving around

Time is money
Money is time
What a bipolar truth

My cup runneth over with nothing
You can't have anything utill you have nothing to lose

Hey Brother !
Can you spare me a dime and I will repay you with time ?

You knew.
The whole time.
Why did you hide it?
You knew
I'd be such a fool for you.
Oh my God... you ******* like it!
Can't you just let a girl dream?
Can't you fake it,
Make it a little more real than it seems?
I'm not asking you to really try.
C'mon, just play along.
Don't blow my high.
I fell in love
with my imagination
when I found your love there.
You've got nothing to do with this
so keep quiet.
This is sick, and I'm excited.
I'll keep believing that you love me
utill the pains of your truth
sting too clearly
to deny it.
this is a mess and i dont care.
maybe ill make something of it one day.
right now its just an idea

You look at the mirror
realize that you changed for someone else
How much you hate it
You start searching for yourself again
You search for the stories you used to hide
For the poems you wrote behind your face
You search for your little secrets hanging on the corner of your lips
For the curses in your eyes
You search for the things you hided untill they were forgotten
And the things you forgot utill they disappeared
unill you disappeared
And the only thing you can see
Is a fake reflection on the mirror.
....
تنظرُ إلى المرآة
و تعي في لحظة واحدة أنّك تغيّرت لأجل أحدهم
تكرهُ نفسك
تبحثُ عن قصائدك المُخبّأة خلف وجهك
عن الأسرار المُعلّقة عند زاوية فمك
تبحثُ عن الشتائم في عينيك
و الغضب في حنجرتك
عن الأشياء التي خبّأتها إلى أن نسيتها
و نسيتها إلى أن اختفت
إلى أن اختفيت
و لا يبقى منك سوى انعكاس كاذب
على المرآة

— The End —
