Life
Bored boat passengers
We are going abroad.
Seeing unknown days,
in the same boat,
in the same stream.
However, no one is anyone.
Thousands of hearts and
thousands of people
at their own address.
We are going abroad
seeing unknown days.

Be Stronger Than The Storm
When everything just hurts everywhere
You seemed to have reached your breaking point with everything
The pain you just can’t seem to bear
What was once so good and blissful is no more, misery is what it seems to bring
Sadness is overwhelming but still, I go on
Put up the front and fake a smile on the outside
I will eventually find where I belong
My feelings I will continue to hide
With everything that’s going on in my life
I shall eventually overcome
I will always prevail and overcome my strife
Because I am a fighter, and I am strong
Good things come to those who wait
I just reached a bump in the road
It is never too late
My story is yet to unfold
After the storm passes through
Comes the rainbow, this is true.
