Memories
She sits alone on the corner bench
Thinking about the way she went
There was no one for her to care
Or any of her sorrows to share
There was nothing for her to loose
Or anything in the world to choose
She just waited for death to come
From her past she wants to run
But like shadows it treads behind her
Asking her questions she can’t answers
Also reminding her the times that lay before
For her to cover and reach the shore
She thinks about the person she loved
The only person for whom she cared
But Mary also left her and never returned
How pained she was to feel abandoned
She still remembers the joy she had
When she held Mary in her hands
Mary’s squeals and laughter filled her heart and soul
But it didn’t last the happiness turned cold
She visits Mary everyday in her grave
She could feel her daughter always so pure and naïve
But how long could she dwell on the past
In the dreams that would never last
She tried herself and her life
But she couldn’t, she was too fragile
Her hands won’t move her legs stuck to the ground
She looked helplessly searching and gazing around
Her chestnut brown hair falling over her eyes
Her red lips her determined chin calmly she sighs
She don’t blame god or her fate
She can’t change it, now it’s too late
She accepts her destiny, as she believes in it
Thinking nevertheless she has to fulfill it
Suddenly a cold breeze blows through her
In the mists she can see Mary her daughter
Mary smiles at her, her eyes so blue
An apparition she thinks but she feels renewed
Even if nothing’s left now it was once
She still kept those memories, she still had a chance
She would live on those memories and start again
She would fight the sorrows and all her pain
Finally she had found a way to live her life
She is more determined, more alive
But she still sits on the corner bench
But not alone, she now has the memories as her friends


Insanity
There’s no way to escape, to run away
I am engulfed by the shadows in my way
Confined in this room, within these walls
I scream, I cry and utter with a squall
But my voice never makes its way to outer world
It gets trapped within these enclosed walls
My mind wanders through winding ways
I am lost in this never-ending maze
The people out there, they think I am mad, a lunatic
They think my thoughts are all erratic
That’s why they have locked me up like a beast
In this musty cage full of filth dirt and fleas
I try to climb back, across this raving mess
But the more I try the more I am drowned in darkness
They think that I might harm others
That my mind is sick and I am delirious
But they never try to understand my needs
That I also have some desires, they never see
But my mind is always on the run
Moving swiftly through bends and turns
I have been in this cage for a couple of years
I can see the evil lurking behind every face, as it leers
But I am not afraid I am just tired
Waiting for my end, which I feel is very near
I can see a shining light it blinds me
I can sense a sudden joy of being free
I can feel that my judgment day has come
I know that my work in this world is done
I feel so light as I rise above against the gravity
I close my eyes, as I feel that this is just the beginning of “INSANITY”
