LIFELINE

We need a fresh start
There is so much sadness
Eating up the world
I can not understand

Why everyone is silence
Yet the atmosphere is looming with violence
Tell me, is it actually true?
There is nothing anyone can do

I can not take this anymore
What the heck are we fighting for?
How can we face tomorrow?
If in every household there is sorrow

You may say I am not guilty
My heart is not filthy
I hold no grudges with anyone
I love my neighbors as much I love my son

But when last to your parents, you made a call?
When was the last time you gave aids to the poor?
Do you hold pride in your heart?
Do you for a reason wear envy in your heart?

Can't you see the world is crumbling over your head?
She is hopelessly falling apart, soon will be dead
You have all that the world is relying on
In someone's dark life, you can be the sun

NO ONE NOTICED

I have been wearing a smile
Fooling myself that I am happy
Do not want people to see my fear
I am trapped and drowning

I tried to make amends with myself
I am strong, so everyone can see
Hoping that someone will love me
My story will have a happy end

I could give my whole heart away
I would gamble with what I have
To that person who is right for me
I could never hold back for love

All I hope is if someone would come for me
Take me home and make me smile again
But it seems I am walking in circle
And can not find the path to my heart

People do not care, but judge me from afar
This I could tell, no matter how much disguise they wear
Wish life is much easier like it is told in fairy tale
The world would have be better having friends

Yet no one noticed how I struggled to survive
In a world crowded with selfish  minds
They only seek for personal affection
For the things they will kill to have
