Who said true love doesn’t exist? Or that it has to have you in a chokehold to be genuine, Who said true love has to be painful for it to be real? Who said it has to be a burden for it to feel real, And that lost love is better than not having loved…… Continue reading Wahre Liebe

Backbone
Hold on to me,In my frail state,When the castles I built in the air come crashing down,And there is no dream to hold on to,No reason to live.Be the pillar I can lean on. The stem on which I grow.The hand I hold as I learn to walk again.Hold on to me,Be that quiet still…… Continue reading Backbone
Circle
We went in opposite directions Not knowing what to expect And wishing never to cross paths But our purest confessions was that someday we will meet again.Round and round we goWhat goes around sure does come aroundThe memories came alive, all that was buried They never rested in peace.At the spot of our last goodbyeHow…… Continue reading Circle
Smile Again
Sunrise, sunsetIt gets hard sometimes Crossroads and roadblocks It feels like there is no way out Struggles are real but they don’t lastSurely you will smile again.The nights are dark and gloomy The road is narrow and lonelyThe vision is twisted and blurry But it will all make senseWith your heart sunk deep into your…… Continue reading Smile Again
Les Cœurs Sauvages.
Les Cœurs Sauvages. Wild heart, carefree,Just because I wore a little makeup, She really let herself go,Just because I wore a skirt a little bit above my knees, She’s lazy,Just because I didn’t feel like cooking dinner tonight, She’s doing entirely too much,Just because I spoke up for myself, She’s not like she used to…… Continue reading Les Cœurs Sauvages.
Stargazer
I wonder what constellations would say if they could move their lips, I wonder if I would understand them, I wonder if our secrets would be for keeps, Or if it would be in the spotlight for the whole world to see, I wonder if I’ve missed my shooting star, So I that I could…… Continue reading Stargazer
Only You
Only you have the power to save yourself, from a perverse world; the lions den. Only you have the right to write your story, from the horse’s own mouth; how does the grass taste? Only you have the power to change the narrative, from the mundane ideologies; start already. Only you can, not your parents,…… Continue reading Only You
Thief
I’m not trying to justify my actionsBut I steal for a reasonAnd you’d have to be open minded to understand me When i was littleI asked mum for some coinsI saw them in her little purseStashed amongst her clothesShe told me she had no money I begged and begged but she didn’t budgeSo i did…… Continue reading Thief
Mission Possible
Like roses thriving in thorns, We don’t look like what we’ve been through. Like the lilies of The Valley, We get just what we need to survive. And like the birds of the air, We go out each day, with praises on our lips not knowing what to expect. Life stares us in the face…… Continue reading Mission Possible
I Grew Up
From the dust whence I came,From the clot of blood that formed me,From the gene, the very DNA I carry,Rising through the dust,Working my way out of the valley,Defying the oddsWriting my own story.I grew up.Conforming was never a consideration,Finding my own path and wanting to be different, always,Fuelled me.My drive, my passion, my tenacity.Words…… Continue reading I Grew Up
