When a baby smiles, it puts the world on pause,
We forget all our troubles, we feel at ease,
For that brief moment, when a baby smiles
...

Awaken memories check in, like a sudden gust of wind
The loss of loved ones, their absence felt within
You indulge in reminiscence, longing to clasp them with your fingers
Only a whiff of air brushes against your palm, and the grief lingers
...

Your love knows no boundaries, like the water that flows from the rivers, to the wide open seas
You are my rainbow, you paint my sky colourful after every rain
You are like the moon, that shines on me when I'm lost in darkness
You are like a waterfall, I hear your loud applause cheering me on, even when I fall
...

Confused, I had two views of insight
My convictions came in pairs
Myself and I, kept me in despair
Unleashed, when my heart and soul unite
...

...

I SAW DRUGS, AS MY COMFORT
I SAW MONEY, AS MY HAPPINESS
I SAW BRAGGING, AS CONFIDENCE
DID I REALLY? I WISH I HADN’T
