STOP TRYING

Stop trying to fit into the world
Everyone is unique in her own way
Life is not always perfect
Not often do you find the rain

Of-cause you are different 

For you are beautifully made
Why let some fools

Talk you into otherwise

Who is standing in the mirror in front of you?

Can she say I am very proud of you?
Can she say I believe in you?

You are the person who matters most in my life

Shake that nerves off your feet

Say out loud, I am who I want to be

Not even the world can hinder my dream
For I am the best of me

THE MAN IN ME

When I was a kid

I used to think

The kind of man

I would grow up to be

An artist, a musician

A footballer or a lawyer

A banker, maybe an accountant

A writer but not a politician

Thoughts floating in the sky

My dreams running wide

I could not catch up with time

Helplessly, I watch her die

Days became weeks

Weeks became months

Months became years

Until I lost track of time

I never thought

Life would turn out this way

A grown man living in the past

Is all the future could fortify

WALK FOR LOVE

Can there be a world without any war?

I cannot take this anymore

Suppression of the weak and poor

Destruction of hopes without cure

When was the last time lived in a world that’s real?

Were two strangers sit on a table and share a meal

Can’t curtail the brutality of innocent tears

Precious lives sold for a mere price

Everyone got a regretful past

Everyone is guilty of something in his heart

But time has never walked away

Despite the sky is gray

You must have someone or something you truly love

For you not willing to give up your own life

It is time to throw away every faulty lamp

Today is as good a day for a fresh start

A man without a good intention is considered not a friend

It is like driving on the road leading to a dead end

They told you life is sweet when you take revenge

But when a storm calls, they hide in there closet

We can find love anywhere in time

The sun, moon and stars do always shine

A good life cost nothing more than a little sacrifice

If only we can take a walk for love
