Money Doesn'T Buy Happiness

Big house, three cars and shopping evryday.  Materialism, socalisim and consumerism. Ism, 
ism ,ism.  Being in debt.

In the RED. Stressed out.  Diamond rings, bling, bling , bling.
Bored and no hope. Greed and deceit.

Money dosen't by happiness.

I'M Not Perfect

I used to long for the perfect childhood
the perfect husband, children and house.

I used to long to be wealthy, beautiful looking and perfectly healthy.

They say the grass is always greener.
If only they'd stayed together
If only I did better at school.

I used to long for the perfect marriage and family

But Im not perfect, lifes not perfect

I used to think the house should be spick and span each and everyday
a cake baking in the oven, fresh flowers on the sill.

I used to long for the perfect friends and keeping up with the Jones.

I am not perfect, sometimes I may miss my prayers
sometimes I'll snap at the kides
somedays I just can't be bothered to clean up

The grass is always greener but hay Im not perfect and either is life.

God See's No Colour.

What gives you the right to hate me?  Just because my skin is not white.
Do you think our blood isn't the same co lour? Red

We may not look alike, we may not believe in the same things.  What makes us are beautiful 
things.  So don't hate on me because i look different from you.

God see's no colour, he loves us all the same.

Stop playing the race hate game.  Down with your campaign to hate.  'An all white Britain' is 
what you want.  How boring life would be if we all were the same.

God see's no colour, he loves us all the same.

So stop the hatred and live side by side.  Theres no place in the world for racism anymore.

I Love

I love myself because I am true to myself
I love myself for beibg caring
I love myself for being the best mother I can be
I love myself for helping others

I am not perfect
I many flaws
I try to forgive but admit it's harder to forget

I am happy in my own company
I am proud of what I have achieved so far
I forgive myself for my flaws

I vow to put myself first
I vow to say no without remorse
I vow to put my feelings before others if I am not comfortable in a situation

I will say no
I will not change to please others
I will not feel bad anymore because of other peoles actions

I love me for me

Actions and Consequences

What you did, you think it's normal.  Well I don't.  Since being a child it's stayed with me and always will.  Tried to re build our relationship yet in reality it's full of s**t.

You may think that I'm in the wrong, but its how I feel.

Can't ring you when I'm down
can't ask you to pop around
uncomfortable when I come around.

Were like two strangers passing by, we'll never be close and you'll never know why.

Butterfly

Butterfly, butterfly fluttering your colorful wings.  Flying through the air.  How I envy your 
beauty, your freedom.  Your high, fly, fly BUTTERFLY.

Sisters of the Deen

People think us sisters are repressed, they say this about the way we are dressed.  We 
inspire to be clean, steadfast in our deen

They make fun of the hijab and jilbab.  They say we are wrong.  Islam is not a bad religion.  
Its a had full of people who are.

People say muslim woman are repressed.  We have a right to love, have fun and be 
educated.  We smile, pray and love our families.

Is this so wrong? what crime have I committed?
Just because i am a muslim.

Insomnia

Im fighting through the night
Im fighting through the night
desprate for some sleep, my mind feels so weak.

Aches and pains, mind working over drive.
Feels like im slowly dying
its three am, im crying.

Im fighting through the night
Im fighting through the night
desprate for some sleep my mind feels so weak.

People Pleaser

Burned out and stressed out.
Cant please you All.

What about me and how I feel?  What about my health both mental and physical?
Im stuck in the middle and stuck in a rut.

Why dont you stop calling and interferring?
I cant please you All

Burned out and stressed out.

From now on im gonna say NO.

Footballers

Over paid and over rated
over sexed and disgraced

Role models? cheating on their wives.
they get paid an sickening amount of money for kicking around a ball.

Racism and swearing, and think their above the law.

Ryan Giggs now don't get me started.  The youth of today all want fame as Jessie j stated 'it's all about the money money!

Football in my opinion it's overrated.  Not like back in the day when it was for the love of the game not the fame.
