Who felt the pain
The likes of which
I could never endure,

Browsing the three dailies of T&T,
All I see are front pages covered with bloodshed, turmoil and misery.
Where is the country I once knew?

Taken with a pinch of salt

Invisible to the naked eye

Should you wish to be unique

Bare your soul be exposed stripped
of flesh down to the naked bone

Stand alone and out from the

she might have been beautiful
I'll never know
she might have been the best mother ever
Again, I'll probably never know

    Not outspoken, slight introvert,
    Yet quite expert to steal my heart.

cold, wet, molded concrete.
I've lost count of how long I have been here,

Suddenly I decided
