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 have the power to change the narrative, from the mundane ideologies; start already. Only you can, not your parents,…… Continue reading Only You

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
That time of Year.
It’s that time of year again. The euphoria of the season Food, music, movies, the traditions. It’s that time of year again. When we make merry and memories. When we see loved ones we haven’t seen all year long. My favorite time of year. Reminiscing childhood memories. Remembering all who are not here with us.…… Continue reading That time of Year.

Dear damsel in distress, There is no Prince and neither is he charming. Think outside the box and get yourself out of this mess. Prince Charming is nothing…… Continue reading Damsel in Distress
