Remember Me

Reader, I wish to write something that will help you,
I want to have the right read of your soul,
I want to understand,
But how can I understand,
When I am so lost
And the world is so far away,
I see nothing but myself
My dreams rolling around,
It’s too sad, even a simple coffee makes me feel alive,
Reader, I wish to tell you that it passes,
You will not understand me right now
Because I am not hurting
And I am not in pain,
But reader, I hope you remember that it passes,
When after the rain, comes a deadly night that holds a shelter for none,
Remember that it passes,
When your tears turn to rage,
When your heart closes itself into a cage,
Remember me, reader,
Remember that it passes,
When the demon comes to take its claim
And your coldness slips into your veins,
And you can’t help but give in,
Remember me, reader,
Remember that it passes.

Like a woman, like a wolf

I told myself this game wouldn’t last long,
Oh, dear reader, tell me why we expect so much,
our expectation that is natural to us and not hopeful,
Oh, dear reader, tell me what good comes off from this rage,
That I now type away with,
Covering my face with beauty,
It’s my eyes that show the destruction I’m willing to unleash
And the hearts I’m willing to squash,
I don’t ask for pity or sympathy,
It is not the way of my mind,
Oh dear reader, there’s no voice today but my own,
Telling me to stand my ground,
Be patient and wait for the great fall,
Oh, dear reader, there is no laugh, no demon today,
Only me and my thirst and my hunger,
Standing my ground,
Like a wolf finding its prey at night,
Oh dear reader, there is no demon today,
There will be no laughs,
Only a woman who knows her worth
And stands her ground
Instead of going for a useless kill,
I don’t ask for love or for someone’s care,
My heart is in my hand, smiling,
Like it has nothing to spare.

Near the Stars

Let us talk near the stars today,
Let us leave behind useless chatters and false pretences,
Reader, let’s make a bed in our mind,
Keep our hearts safe from predators,
Love it all the love it needs,
Criticise it all the growth it needs,
Let us meet near the stars today,
Oh, reader, sit down with me in the calm of my mind,
Am I insane or just a little too enthusiastic about this life,
Leave the hatred and call out to the demons and angels,
Simply to dance together in the chaos of your mind,
Let your thirst bring you alive,
Let us meet near the stars today,
Dear reader, let us free our souls.

I remind myself

I remind myself
I know who I am
When the darkness and the light merge
And the smoke around me fades
I remind myself
I know who I am.

When I look to the sky
When I open my eyes under the ocean
When the darkness and the light merge
And the smoke around me fades
I remind myself
This is who I am.

When the wind talks to me,
When I am lost and found within myself,
When I have no home,
When I have no comfort to rest my soul,
I remind myself
This is who I am
A wanderer in the midst of all the snow,

When spring comes and the tears slip,
When I see the reflection of a little child,
And the mirror whispers to me like a demon,
When the darkness and the light merge,
I remind myself
I know who I am,
I remind myself
I have a soul that belongs to the wild.
