reasons why...

~a mixtape to my younger self...




Side A
all you feel, you suffer
and all your dreams
made me the person
that I am today

all the crying, all the pain
disappointments, the memories
I’m sorry… but,
it won’t fade away

I wish you’d slept on dry pillows
more often than the wet ones

I know your knees been your comfort
but I wish there was someone
 
to stroke your head and say
“Everything’s going to be okay”

don’t be afraid of blood,
one-day red’s going to be
your favourite

don’t be afraid of the dark
one day you going to turn
everything bright

try not to complain
don’t put yourself to blame
and,
please don’t go into that cave
you are going to lose
the best times of your life
to a monster, I still regret

he will use your pain
turn into anger
he will use frustration
turn into despair

whispers will reach you
with a voice of an angel
in a haze of colours
you are lead to danger


but,
you don’t know
so, how could you resist?

--

Side B
its ok
its all good
you are special
you are not abandoned
you are a gift
you are an artist

enjoy the roller-coaster
hold on tight

pain will end
dark clouds will clear
rain will wash your stains  
the sun will bring you
a new beginning

till the time comes
hold on tight
enjoy the ride

like I did…
