I should not hold myself in suspense
I should not hold myself in suspense
As it can make everything intense
Lay out all your feelings
Don't hold anything in
Just let it all out
I am brave I am strong
What's the worst that could go wrong?
Walk through fire
Come out the other end
And inspire!
As it can make everything intense
Lay out all your feelings
Don't hold anything in
Just let it all out
I am brave I am strong
What's the worst that could go wrong?
Walk through fire
Come out the other end
And inspire!

Lockdown life
Sometimes I find myself staring into space
The silence is so loud that
I can only hear the clocks ticking
Time is so slow
Doing absolutely nothing
Sitting around at home full of people
In an empty atmosphere
Wondering what is there to do today?
What is there for us tomorrow?
What is the future bringing for everyone
About the lockdown and COVID-19 affecting not the nation, but the world?
I.miss outdoor activities and social gatherings
I miss the smell of bubble tea
Inside the houses of Gongcha, Noah's ark, Goldie and Cha time ...
The silence is so loud that
I can only hear the clocks ticking
Time is so slow
Doing absolutely nothing
Sitting around at home full of people
In an empty atmosphere
Wondering what is there to do today?
What is there for us tomorrow?
What is the future bringing for everyone
About the lockdown and COVID-19 affecting not the nation, but the world?
I.miss outdoor activities and social gatherings
I miss the smell of bubble tea
Inside the houses of Gongcha, Noah's ark, Goldie and Cha time ...

People problems
Buried feelings
Dug a hole so deep
It hurts so bad
No wonder why I feel sad
Why am I so angry?
Just let it out, let it go
Those 5 months was a season
That happened not long ago
A time for me to figure out who I am, why I do what I do and what I came here for
So look the other way and spread my wings and fly
Stop pretending and face the truth
My life was not perfect
The people I was with was not worth it
Though I learned a lot from them
Something I needed to see eye to eye
About the world of different...

On the mend
I can't say I want to pretend
But I am still on the mend
To break free from the devil
The devil keeps holding my hand
Leading me to do things in the light of day now
That I wouldn't usually do at night on the prowl
I have to choose what will influence me
"Let me have this, let me have this"
No I can't!
Fight off the devils desires
Say goodbye to Instagram
Say goodbye to mainstream music
Let go of anything that holds me empty and alone
Bring God closer to me
So I can take charge
And hold the pen again
Writing poems...
But I am still on the mend

Me first
Untangle this mess
I gotta get this off my chest
I can't seem to put this to rest
Because I am so stressed
This stupid job gets my brain all mushed
'Cos every night I try to think for myself
"What am I forgetting? Did I do everything I needed to do, here?
Look inside my heart
I forgot about me. Again and again
Am I taking care of myself properly?
I don't know
I feel like I'm doing everything right
On the outside
But why am I so shaken up
They say "Girl, don't stress, just relax and breathe"
I'm like 'don't tell me how...

Talk is cheap
Don't waste your breath on me
Just because I'm quiet
Doesn't mean I'm on a 'no speaking' diet
I chose to listen and you chose to talk
You think you can 'chat me up'
To fill these empty spaces (nobody asked you to)
To make me move from 'reserved' to unreserved (pathetic)
But you know
Talk is cheap
Your trying to get deep with me
But I won't have it
I rather not know you
Than you not knowing too much of me
Because I can see your true colours
Right through you
Always complaining about the city you're living...

Stupid phone
Whatever happened to books before looks?
Riding your bike before caring about "likes"
Our actions are becoming less
Afraid of becoming 'second best'
Because our pride is gained
And our eyes are strained
But we don't care
We keep scrolling through. Endlessly.
On the outside you are fine
On the inside you are not
We put our phone first before ourselves
Admit that you're a social media addict
t's not easy living this kind of life
No one asked for any of this but you
So I'm facing new heights, getting to know...

Social fix
Phone is juice
It has become in such good use
Eager to check your latest newsfeed
(but what about me?)
Going through your sent and recieved messages
Comparing other people's beverages
We use our phone
Every day and night
Without us realising
What we are really missing
Is ourselves
Checking our phones is an ongoing attraction
But a constant battle to win over our satisfactions
Are we forgetting healthy ways to remain offline?
A social media detox
Always do me good in time
And I recommend that everyone should do...

Behind the wheel
Am I being dishonest with myself?
Do I need to get out there and seek help?
I just feel guilty
Guilty that I don’t have my learners yet
Guilty that I don’t quite fit the mould yet
When society expects me at this age
To freakin’ know how to drive
I ask myself “what’s holding me back?”
And deep down the devil is stopping me from achieving that
So later in life I will suffer even more
Without a stinking car!
Living like a loser (no thanks)
Like bussing my kids to school and me to work
Every single day
That doesn’t seem ok...

Defining Education
Nobody gives rats about the meaning of education
(But they went to school anyway and got a job that pays!)
Once I start explaining
Many don’t know the difference between teaching and education
Teaching is the practicalities of learning with the students in the classroom
Education the word itself may seem doom and gloom
But actually it covers 4 important contexts:
Historical, political, social and cultural aspects, in theory.
And yet you had the time to stop and ask me what I study
But you don’t really care
I can read right through you (it’s...

We used to be hands-free
So many people phone in face
The brightness, the attention
You got from detention
Or whatever else may be
We used to be hands-free
You see
When you're in a room full of people talking
You don't have the heart to spill what's on your mind
So you carry on walking
Walking, with a phone in hand
Sharing to the world what's on your 'newsfeed'
As you give the world some more on your thoughts
Gaining "likes" and attention
But look up and around you
People want to reach you
But the answers are short and brief
And when it...

Goodbye place
Nostalgic
Coming to feed my spirit, to get closer with Heaven
Why am I in a place like this?
Surrounded by so many people
In a world of extroverts
I am intimidated, underappreciated
People hanging around in big groups to smaller chit chats
Already bored
Mindless conversations, using short abbreviations
Never really understanding my situation
I was not heard, not listened to, just hanging around for their own satisfaction
Happy that I'm there but me they don't care
Would it have made a difference if I had joined a new group? ...
