Boss
Aaliyah Salia May 2020
I am my own boss,
I listen to my ownself.
I don't care if the people talk behind my backs,
I don't care if people throw away my ideas.

I know my worth,
I know what I'm capable of,
I know that if I just hold on,
I will reach my goal.

I am my own CEO,
I am not just a girl,
but I'm a woman with big dreams, big goals, and big plans.

In the end,
You'll see,
how I will push you behind,
and wear a crown on my head.
One must never lose hope and continue to struggle to reach and fulfill their goals and dreams.

Ungrateful
Aaliyah Salia Jul 2019
There were so many sacrifices,
so many lives taken,
so many lives given,
and yet we are ungrateful.

We want more happiness,
so we neglect what we have right now.
We become greedy for more,
for more and more of everything.

Why? Why can't our hearts be satisfied
with what we have?
Why do we need this and that?
and everything the rich have?

Can't we just live our lives the way it is written to be lived?
Can't we, for once, ignore the evil
and turn to good?

Is it so hard for us?
Is it so hard that if you don't dream
you won't live?
Let's not forget to be thankful for everything we have and don't have. After all, life is too short to be greedy.

Deceive
Aaliyah Salia Oct 2018
"Let not this world deceive you,
don't let it win,
don't make it your companion.
Don't drown in the fear it instills in your heart,
don't heed its sinful, yet captivating words.
Don't give in to its limitless beauty,
don't smile when it kisses your skin.
Don't let it force you to take a puff,
don't let it intoxicate you.
Don't let it order you,
don't let it make you dependent on it because eventually, it'll leave you.
Let not this world deceive you, my friend,
it might be kind-hearted, it might love you, but it'll also take you to hell with it.
It's a poison no one dares touch,
it's a prison no one dares enters."
What do you think of this world?

Dream
Aaliyah Salia Jun 2019
I dreamed big,
I dreamed so much,
I dreamed with positivity,
but my dreams cracked,
When you told me that you loved her
instead of me.
Sometimes dreams don't come true...

Old Record
Aaliyah Salia Aug 2018
Our bodies moved side by side,
the old love song played in the background.

Your hand was on my delicate waist,
a kiss on my forehead is all it takes,
to make our hearts burn intensely,
the night where the stars shine brightly,
are the best nights of my life.

We would hold each other until the music stops,
we would wish the music never stops.
Ah...How one day I'd love to dance with the special somebody...

An Unfathomable Dream
Aaliyah Salia Jul 2019
I want to reach new heights,
fly like there's no tomorrow,
I want to scoop the world in my palms
and protect it from deadly folks and deep hollows.

It's my dream,

a simple desire,

am I asking for too much?

or am I just being naive?

It pains me to see everything crumble away,
pains me to see that we're living at the end of the days,

it pains me to just stare at the stars,

and wish to vanish as far

as my soul can escape.
Sometimes, we must realize the world we're living in and try to think about how we can save it from turning into ashes and dust.

Fake
Aaliyah Salia Jun 2019
There were times when I smiled,
but it wasn't real.
It hurt my lips,
it hurt my heart
and yet I smiled,
because I didn't want the others
to feel unhappy
or realize what I'm going through.
Based on true emotions.

A Puzzle Piece
Aaliyah Salia Jul 2019
Can we please not pretend to like each other?
It hurts,
the sweetness of your voice hurts.
the truth hurts.
But every time you look at her,
I die each time.

Please be raw with me.
Either leave me,
or keep me alive.

Just don't place me in the dark,
I'm not your puzzle piece anymore.
Think twice before you love someone. Because once you're committed, there's no going back.

Miracle
Aaliyah Salia Dec 2019
There are times when we lose everything,
times when we feel as if the world is falling upon us,
there are also times when we just want to dive off a cliff,
and times when we just want to be away from a group of people and hide in a corner and cry.

But after those times,
there comes a beautiful miracle.
A miracle that will change our life,
our hearts open up like the wings of a butterfly,
and everything starts to look beautiful again.

We are whole again,
we are new, beautiful and we avoid all the negativity,
i thank God for those times because it's the most wonderful feeling,
to feel loved, honored and respected.

I know now that everyone has to have patience,
to see the bud bloom into a rose.
Miracles do happen

Asterin
Aaliyah Salia Apr 2019
I look at the stars and wonder,
when will I become one?
Will I ever become one?
Will I ever get to shine like it?
Will I ever get to make someone smile?

I look at the stars and my heart begins to beat faster,
my blood is rushing and my tears start to run down my blushed cheeks.
I have so much hope in me,
so much hope that can only be visible if you wish to see.
Just like the stars,
I'm visible,
but invisible to the reckless eye.

You see the moon; the brightest star,
but you miss the tiny me that's right beside.
However, I promise you.
I promise you that one day I will shine,
Not like the moon,
but like the sun;
the even brightest star.
There are so many people out there losing hope. Let's give them some, shall we?

I am Scared
Aaliyah Salia Dec 2019
In a place where there are no souls,
I wander and wander like a stranger.
i know not where my grave is,
but i do know where my heart is.

i follow my heart and search for the light,
the light that used to guide me when i was alive,
but all i see is darkness,
and i wonder whether i will ever be more alive?

is this reality or is it a dream?
i am stuck in this loop for a long time.
please, someone help me get away,
because i am scared,
i am scared,
i am scared.
Often, all we need is a little help.

A Crumpled Paper
Aaliyah Salia Jul 2019
It was never about trust or promises or destiny, was it?
All you cared about was money, your life, your health, and your lusts.

You threw me away as if I was a crumpled paper,
my words didn't matter to you,
neither did my feelings.

Yet I stayed by your side,
because I thought that I could see a change in you.
I thought I would...
Alas, I only wasted my time and yours,
and also the food I cooked.
Do not let them use or control you. You're much better off without them. It will be hard but try. Eventually, you will feel lighter again just like the day when you fell in love.

Fall
Aaliyah Salia Oct 2018
"If I loved you,
would you love me back?

If I cared for you,
would you care for me too?

Answer me truthfully, my love,
if I died, would you even shed a tear for me?

I guess not,
because you never had any feelings for me.

You were just playing with me,
like I was your rag doll,
like I was nothing but a season passing by,
nothing but autumn, a tragic fall."
Uh...how is this poem?

Regret
Aaliyah Salia Jul 2019
I regret not looking directly in your eyes
and telling you
how much I love you.

I regret not holding your hands
when we were at the bus stop
standing under the rain
under the same umbrella.

I regret not saying 'I do'
when you were right in front of me;
smiling and waiting for me
to become your wife.

I regret it all.

I really do.
Regret is such an intense feeling that can leave you breathless...

Fairy Tales
Aaliyah Salia Dec 2019
I now understand,
that fairy tales are just made-up stories,
to hide the fact that we are truly lonely,
in this devastated and crumpled world,
that's twisted and tangled like a ball of yarn.

I wish I could dive into a storybook,
and be the princess who would run away with her prince,
i wish all these nightmares would end,
so that i can sleep peacefully again.

The troubles we're going through,
is like a never-ending test,i just want to escape,
get-away, turn around and run away.
Fairy tales are not true,i understand now,
they are just your imagination, a stranger in your own **** world.
Sometimes, we just gotta accept reality.

Dream Come True
Aaliyah Salia Jan 2019
I'm waiting for you,
hoping to live my life with you.

It seems hopeless for now,
but I believe deeply that my dreams
will surely come true.

We are apart,
just like the north and south pole,
but you have no idea
how amazing God's plan is,

He can unite us with a snap of his fingers,
He can give us a life we never dreamt of.
This is for you, my love.

— The End —
