I CAN NOT ERASE YOU OFF MY MIND




I have plans to put your pictures on the frame in my heart
It does not matter how long the moon stays up
I love to see your pretty face at sunrise
You are the one I have been waiting for

For so long I have been praying for a miracle
That is why I have been dreaming
I am sorry if I am overreacting
Hope you have a moment to look into my heart

While I watched you sitting in the bus a forth night
I knew my life will never be the same
Loving you is worth everything I have in life
Contemplating about it is futile

Please do not treat me as someone that is selfish
Searching for you is all I have ever craved
Truth is, you are the center piece of the puzzle
The answer to the questions lingering in my heart

I am not asking you to love me back
But to be a friend who care and understand
Just enough for us to get by
I hope this is not too much to ask?

INSURRECTION



Tell me, is it worth it?
Living in a world crashing down
All your dreams static
Losing every battle without a crown

We all have love ones to protect
But the urge got to be strong enough
To withstand a fall from a thousand feet
Not been resentful but living an authentic life

Out on the street, it is a different world 
It is a total blackout, where is the sun?
If hope and dream of youths are trashed?
What then is the future of the unborn?

Why are there no jobs? 
Why is insecurity on the rise?
Why is human right jeopardize?
Why do we keep corrupt leaders?

Why is life painted so wrong? 
There is so many questions to ask
It taste awful, the recipe is misplaced
The world is asleep, she needs to be awake
