Worlds Apart
Deep within me I feel a calling
Something I’ve never felt before
Bit by bit, I sense a fire burning
Of raw passion and all I adore.
Who is the owner of the voice I hear?
Smooth and clear like a cloudless day
I’ve come to treasure it as something I hold dear
If only I could hear him say…
Pure sunlight caresses my skin
And washes away the darkness that envelops me
A loving warmth comforts me from within
This special presence accompanies me in my dreams.
If only I could learn his name
And tell him mine in return ...
Something I’ve never felt before
Bit by bit, I sense a fire burning
Of raw passion and all I adore.
Who is the owner of the voice I hear?
Smooth and clear like a cloudless day
I’ve come to treasure it as something I hold dear
If only I could hear him say…
Pure sunlight caresses my skin
And washes away the darkness that envelops me
A loving warmth comforts me from within
This special presence accompanies me in my dreams.
If only I could learn his name
And tell him mine in return ...

Counting Down the Days
I'm counting down the days until I reach my goal
No longer feeling scattered; instead mature and whole
I look forward to that day where I can finally breathe
And see the look on my mother's face, knowing she's proud of me.
I’m counting down the days: 1, 2, 3, 4
I’ll never settle for less because I deserve more
All these years of hell will soon be behind me
I had to walk through the path of fire to accomplish my dream.
For what it’s worth, I’ve had my perspective changed
I learned the hard way that things don’t stay the same
But...
No longer feeling scattered; instead mature and whole

Crystal Ball
With the first rays of dawn comes new possibilities
And the choice between corruption and integrity
You look up to the stars to read your destiny
Yet all your questions can be answered with a simple reading.
Gather round, expand your senses, behold the crystal ball
It can show the future; whether you’ll rise, or you’ll fall
Don’t be afraid; accept your fate
A single detail can make a dramatic change.
As the light dies out, you’re stuck in uncertainty
Will the universe grant you pain or mercy?
You rely on the moon and the sun for...

Still Hurts
Vibrant colors flare up in the sky
But I can’t see them, for I’ve become blind
Why am I still fighting? Even I don’t know why
Yet I know I must continue, or I’ll surely die.
Slow down; take one step at a time
I’ve lost my spark, but one day I’ll shine
There’ll be good days and bad; it’s okay to cry
I won’t give up; I’d rather die.
Breathe in deeply, feel the calm wash over me
Breathe out slowly, lose myself to the gentle breeze.
I listen to the music that charges the air
The stories told always warm my soul
My heart...
But I can’t see them, for I’ve become blind
Why am I still fighting? Even I don’t know why
Yet I know I must continue, or I’ll surely die.
Slow down; take one step at a time

There’ll be good days and bad; it’s okay to cry

Does It Matter?
Does it matter if I scream or whisper?
Would you hear me either way?
Or maybe I shouldn’t even strain my voice
What does it matter? You didn’t even stay.
Does it matter if I wait or leave?
Would you come for me either way?
Or maybe I shouldn’t even come at all
What does it matter? You’re always late.
Does it matter if I cry or stay unfazed?
Would you care either way?
Or maybe I shouldn’t even react
What does it matter? You’re doing A o-kay.
Does it matter if I live or die?
Would you actually mourn my passing? ...
Would you hear me either way?
Or maybe I shouldn’t even strain my voice
What does it matter? You didn’t even stay.
Does it matter if I wait or leave?

What does it matter? You’re always late.

Or maybe I shouldn’t even react
What does it matter? You’re doing A o-kay.

Road to the Stars
My time on Earth is coming to an end
I must prepare for my final journey
At last, the opportunity has come for me to transcend
The very bounds of what I once thought was reality
The only thing I’ll miss is you, my friend
But the universe has opened the doors for me, out of mercy
All communication will be cut, but my love and best wishes, I can send
As I travel on the road to the stars, a path sent forth only for the worthy.

The Silver Lining
Life’s never black and white
There are always shades of grey
There’s no clear distinction between wrong and right
People tend to do things their own way.
People always say to look for the silver lining
Yet how can I with this unbearable pain?
My quality of life was dramatically declining
Why my own father would put me through this, even I can’t explain.
I can’t stand people who talk so easily
Without understanding the actual facts
I yearn for a better life almost dreamily
I had no idea how much of an impact this...

Survivor
(Verse 1)
I swore that this was the end
I couldn’t even trust my so-called friends
What’s the point of sticking together?
Loyalty is fickle, and it all depends…
On whether or not you’ve got the goods
Like the wolf stalking little Red in the woods
Abandoning a pure soul once he took his pleasure, hah!
And yet they’ve all said: “the hood’s always got your back.”
(Chorus)
Why do I bother justifying your actions?
Whatever love I had for you burnt out with the ashes
You hurt even me, your own flesh and blood
The dam has...

Chasing the Sun
(Verse 1)
For too long I’ve been trapped in the shadows of your toxicity
I’ve now decided to do what’s only best for me
I’m sick and tired of caving in to your blackmailing
The light’s returned to my eyes and I can finally see.
(Chorus 1)
I’m lying down on a golden beach
Later I’ll take a dip in the clear blue reef
Enjoy myself until the day is done
I can finally breathe when I’m chasing the sun.
(Verse 2)
My morale was low, and I felt trapped
Didn’t even know the strength I had
It took a while, but I...

Nírnaeth Arnoediad
Though tragic was the brutal end of Gelmir of the Ñoldor
It holds no comparation to the Battle of the Unnumbered Tears
The anguish of his brother’s demise was too much for Gwindor
And he led his force to their doom against the Valar most feared.
Though the Dark Lord trembled before his ire
The Union of Maedhros was doomed from the start
For the sons of Fëanor were cursed by the oath of their Sire
And they hunted for the Silmarils, though it weighed heavily in their hearts.
Despite the alliance between the children of Ilúvatar

Dear Hero, From Villain
Shepard,
I am not pleased to hear news about your daughter threatening to raise a galactic army against my son, Hades, at daycare today. The time you did it was bad enough, now your daughter swears that she has gotten the synthesized Reapers to cooperate with her! As the oldest and most powerful of the Reapers, I find this unacceptable as it is I who should have supreme control over them; only I! The universe bends to me, and I will not allow a puny organic like your daughter to defeat my superior son.
Harbinger.
Harbinger,
What can I say?...

Gravity
No matter the time of day, the sky is alit with light
The sun shines shamelessly during the day
Past dusk, the stars shyly twinkle, and the moon glows white
Both celestial objects are impressive in their display.
The Earth below is their common ground
All three held together by gravity
Blessed by its rays, the sun became crowned
While the moon’s reflected surface holds a hue of sensuality.
Nuclear core and reflection reach out to each other
As the sun and moon race after one another along the sky
The moon, named Luna, provides...
