It feels like I'm at the top of the mountain,
Unable to breathe again.
My body says it's cold,
Trembling uncontrolled.
I can't look at you,
I can't remember.
What was I saying again?
Oh right, I'm not in Antarctica.
But why does it feel like it?
Where exactly am I?
It must be Antarctica.
I feel like passing out,
I need to get down the mountain.
I feel like I'm dying.
The air must be thin,
It must be -29°C,
I must be dying in the cold.
That's why I can't breathe,
That's why I'm trembling,
That's why I feel this way,
I must be in Antarctica.
I was never told
To behold

The tears
Carrying all my fears

To let them flow
For the glow

To pay the price
For snatching the prize

To let someone die
On the mere roll of the die

I was never told
To behold

The dance of the fairies
Amongst fires in the prairies

Of the sacrifice
For the fool’s paradise

I was never told
To behold

The danseuse death
In her fight with fate

The glory bequeath
With the fory dead

I was never told

To prepare myself
To fight herself

To wrench my prize
From someone her size

I was never told
To behold

People’s fate
In someone’s gait

To let the decision
Be forsaken of vision

I was never told
To behold

The dance of the dead
As if they had never bled

Their waking up again
Out of deign not disdain

I was never told
To behold

The history being rewritten
And the mysteries being smitten..
I was never told.

Rose tears cover the sky
a blanket of snow rests on the surface
and the sun hides behind blushing clouds
morning comes waving letters
written by golden moments
infused with memories of the past
and comes hope,

disguised as an uncertain future

There is beauty in my reflection
          I am
carrying mountains on my back
Universes on my head
Solace in my eyes
Harmony on my lips
But there are doubts in my heart
And again I am stuck in haze....

pieces starting to fall into place,
i no longer worry about saving face
i thought i had escaped loneliness back then,
but now i realized that it was nowhere near the end

a blank canvas enters the scene,
a slate furthermore wiped clean
i cannot say i’m moving forward with no trepidation,
but i’m positive that i no longer hold any reservations
happy birthday to me 🎂

Some say the wind blew sand in their eyes
Yet the wind just said hello to the beaches
The ocean was jealous and it raged in waves
All wondered what does this moment teach

They say the wind was mistreated as well
On many occasions, they had observed
But they only were brave to mention it now
How the wind was called a loser, a clown!

There on the shore, there’s this person, a clown
His mouth always smiling, his eyes shed some tears
He tried his best to cheer you, yet all you did was frown
Your words, fools, put anchors on him, now he fears...

I took the shot and it was nothing but net,
Life is a gamble so let's take a risk,
Can't have nothing without risking it all,
Them L's I'm taking will give me the bigger win,
I see the future not worrying about the past,
Life is a game so let the best man win.

How you expect to win if you don't play?
The moment we start living and stop dreaming,
Is the moment we starting making a difference,
The fear of taking risks is what holds us back,
I sat back doing nothing for too long,
Now I'm getting into the game.

I'm the main attraction y'all just small time,
If you want something big,
You gotta stop thinking so small,
Life ain't gonna live itself,
Wanna a different life then live differently,
My life is on the uprise,
I'm done living for everyone else,
It's my time so I'm living for myself.

Don't apologize for making yourself better,
Not everyone will want the best for you,
If you can't support me then I don't need you,
All the hate you bringing ain't hurting me,
The hate brings me more motivation then frustration,
If you ain't doing something right they would be silent,
Obviously I'm doing everything right,
My name stay in they mouth,
Keep talking and I'm gonna keep shining.
LIVE YOUR LIFE NOT LIFE FOR THEM. WE ONLY HAVE 1 LIFE, SO MAKE YOURS COUNT.

I had a Fear
Of Loosing you
and so I am
Letting you go...
