The Stranger Within Me
Yes, I had smiles false
Seemed so true but not
Emptiness filled me with so much un satisfaction
My sharp cold eyes glittered with dust,
As I watch my life, his life rather;
For he took it away;
The day he thought he gave it to me,
Because I never got my wish but he's fish
I never lived me but him
He had become the murderer of my dreams
My soul he gradually killed, like poison slow,
As I dumped four years of my life,
In the citadel of doom;
Where all the loud creativity in me,
Crawled to a little spot in my being
So I never lived me but him
For every breath I took was to please him,
And every breath I took was to be Father's image
Finally the mussel East wind blew to my direction
Blowing off the him from me!
As the passion in me flooded
It is time for me to live me!
A successful failure, I cannot remain
As everyone saw the smile;
But deep in me were miles from the sight;
Because I never lived me but him
I was a caged pen,
Entangled in his den of success quick
Alas! The sunshine of passion called
smiles clung to my face tightly
As I whispered loudly to him;
Here's your fish as I take my wish
Tears unending filled my eyes;
Not for sorrow but joy's plea
For my life I would live not he's anymore.
