Nothing is yours forever

Nothing's yours forever,
what u have in your grasp may not last long,
at one moment you're so happy,
so excited owning what you have,
until you forget that it wouldn't forever be yours.

Once God takes it away from you,
it's no longer yours,
only then u realize,
nothing is under your control.

You make plans,
you become happy like the world is yours,
but once it's taken away,
it's gone and never returned.

Perhaps exchanged with a something better,
we never know.

We make plans,
but everything is under God's control.

the smile that keeps you going

the sky ain't always bright,
the road ain't always smooth,
but there's always gonna be the sunshine after a rain.

you're a gem

you're a gem,
sparkling ever so brightly,
soaring high up in the sky,
you do wonders to the world.

don't be scared,
don't be ashame,
be proud to be you,
because you're special,
you're different.

should they not shine on you,
fret not,
for you are a precious gem,
you can stand on your own.

'Light as a Feather'



'Back to Manhattan'

dont give 'em all

i had a huge chocolate cake with strawberries on top,
and i gave a portion away,
i gave away another portion as well,
and a another one,
and a few more.
i thought of giving it all away,
but then realized i had to keep a portion of it.

they say don't give them all,
keep some for your own good,
coz once they took and crumbled it,
it's just gone.

and they took you away

They took you away,
They brushed you away with the tides,
You were swept away by the waves,
You drowned into the ocean.

You tried to save yourself,
But you couldn't.

You looked for a branch or even a leaf on the surface of the water,
To hold on, to get a grip, for a gasp of air,
But you couldn't find.

You kept trying,
But still, you drowned,
Until in the end,
You just became a part of the sea.

let it

Eyes,
You feel like they're all on you,
Watching your every move,
Following your every path.

But that's not what it actually is,
It's just your feeling,
You just too care much about the watching eyes,
But the truth is,
No one's even looking.

You,
You want to follow their every move,
You want to be there all the time,
You want to impress them all,
You want to say the right words,
And do the right things,
All the time.

But the truth is,
You're just you,
You're not capable of that,
You might as well just be on your own territory,
Living your own life, not bothering what they want to do or say,
You deserve to live happily and peacefully.

Let them be, let them say.

Happy New Year 2010

Happy New Year 2010,

May this year be a better one,

Live a more postive life,

Let go of those frowns,

Give a smile instead,

Life's too short to fret.

Love, care and appreciate,

Give a helping hand,

Touch hearts,

Make a difference.
