My Life Is A Movie
My life is a movie. Facing ups and downs like an emotional rollercoaster. Acting confident like everything is fine as a front to hide the real pain. Putting on a smile for others. Dealing with ‘when things don’t go as planned’. You should only know the drama that happens behind closed doors. Feeling like a failure when you screw up. Carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders like a heavy burden. Find serenity in the chaos. Keep yourself busy from all the distractions.

Day & Night
As the first light of dawn creeps through the curtains, it's your essence that fills the room, casting a warm glow on the day's promise. With each sunrise, I find a reminder of your radiance, the spark that ignites the joy in my heart. You are the silent melody that plays with the morning breeze, the harmony to my day's beginning. In the quiet moments of awakening, it's your thought that brings the first smile, a serene prelude to the symphony of moments we share. You are the unwritten verse in the poem of my day, the unspoken words that resonate with every beat of my heart.

In the arms of the one who raised me
In the arms of the one who raised me I track down comfort, wellbeing, love His harsh hands recount the story Of a daily routine very much experienced, of difficult work, of sacrifice
