• Voice Of The Young (In The Voice Of Maya...

• In Your Love Dream

• Imperfect Me!
  Through the mirror i see my tears flow a thousand miles away from me. Deep inside me i feel a fear holding me back, that keeps pulling me tighter and tighter as the days go by. I can't even feel pain, happiness, or weakness because of the hold it has on me.

• F-R-E-E
  I protect myself from the outside so that it would seem i'm fearless. I sometimes wonder what the world would be if there were no me. I learned how to control that bull dog inside of me wanting to go free. The darkness i have come accustomed to has gotten a hold on me.
