FALLING LEAF

I am afraid if you leave me
My heart will be broken
Like a fallen leaf from the tree
My emotion will wither and slowly die

Please tell me you will stay forever
I do not want to be sad the rest of my life
Without you, I feel my world is over
I will lost everything thought I  have

Sometimes in life we need to take cognisance 
The decisions we make that might affect others
I can be a better person if you give me a second chance
You deserve better, no need to stake your claims

Let nobody talk to you that I am off no good
We do not need to fight to prove you are right
If only you could smile, it is going to be alright
With you back in my hand, the world will turn around

THEY TOLD ME TO QUIT

They told me to quit

I do not have what it takes

To stand up to life demands

At first it seems I am losing my mind

Everything I touched, Cannot hold with time

All through life I am upright

Yet the world around me is falling apart

I am helpless watching from afar

It is alright, I hold no grudge against you

Despite you labeled me a fool

I should have saw these coming

Everything I learnt is a rip off

Hiding in a shell is not an option

Just have to finish what I started

It may not rain throughout the year

But I have to harvest a good crop

MISDEED

Do not be blind to misdeed

Whether or not there is someone watching 

It is like when you wake up in the morning

And found out no one appreciate you

It is enough to upset you

But instead walk away and smile

Even, no one else cares, God loves you

He cares about you all the time

Some might say you are young and dumb

Born insane in a world of gain

How could you turn down a lifetime opportunity?

It is like putting your roof on fire

If you should really know

Misdeed will only steal away your soul

If for a minute you cannot let go

It will blind your conscience and much more

You can still redeem yourself

Walk away past everything little crime

Do not burn away a chance to live a decent life

Let them hate you, it will only last for a while
