Fit in

 


Flashy lights and smoke encircling

What a great life, oh so enchanting

Cups overflowing with liquor of riches

Clicking bottles, screaming bitches


I walked with them and fake laughed

Dragged my first puff and I coughed

Settling for the cheapest beverage

I listened how my life's just average


The constant, nagging need to fit in

Has already broken me from within

Everything's fun and games on crack

Until my inner demons scream back


I avoid the entrapments to avoid me

My vulnerability is not for world to see

I'll drink fancy liquors slow and dull

Pretending my glass is always full

September Seventeen

September Seventeen and we were celebrating Chuckling together, and barefoot dancing We were drifted so far away But we promised there to stay Humming together the same song Now I wonder what went wrong? I tore all the letters written for you My dreams shattered & nightmares came true How can something so beautiful turn so ugly? Why could I never be yours truly? September Seventeen and it was your Birthday My wishes, our song and the sweet Play I fell in love with the boy in the white shirt Never knew it would turn back and hurt And it is September Seventeen again I've moved on but there is still the pain But I feel safe to know you are far Can't deal again with the emotional war So Happy Birthday to my Long-lost Lover I'm so glad our trouble is almost Over!

Lovers' Game

Image
  Summer nights, winds weird and quiet  Should've known our time just wasn't right Just couldn't see you leaving peacefully  Wish I could've let you go on more gracefully Scream yes or say you don't feel the same Don't want to play this cruel lovers' game You can walk away just because I'm a mess But forgive my impatience with your calmness Promise I'll play and follow your every rule I'll play the one who needs to act the fool Of course, I'll wait here for you forevermore  And I'll never dare to shut my heart's door Hearing your footsteps I'll again let you in This is a lovers' game, I'll always let you win Some rules might break as I mend broken fate It's okay if you can't love me, just never hate Written on 10/03/2024
