Here I am
Here I wait 
Here I lie confused about me
Hear me out
Let me in
Others words are all I see

So you say
You know me
You know what is best for me
The decisions 
The directions
All made by you for me

For me
For me

Crushing my soul and tearing me out
My whole life was just as a puppet to you
The strings around me are strangling my neck
I feel myself paralyzed...

Verse 1:
You’re the sparkle in my darkest times
You’re my alpha and omega too
You’re past the shadows and into the light
You’re the one I look up to
Chorus:
Oh, you’re the one I wanna have so so bad 
Oh, you’re the one I look up to
Oh, you’re the one I wanna have so so bad
Oh, you’re the one I wanna have so bad
Verse...

You're an idea in my head I can't get quite get over
Alone we are weak but we can't be together 
We fitted perfect when we spoke last
Now I regret our chequered past
Because I made you a memory
That I keep dragging onward

And I'm dreamin' of a new tomorrow
Free from the mistakes of today
I'm hoping for a better future
Making it right, the old way
When we were innocents once
Free to hold hands

verse 1:
It’s fun to know
That when you go
No one will be there to catch you
When no one cares 
You’re on your own                          
I need to find my way back home
Cause I can’t pretend
Chorus:                                 
And you will trust me with your life but
I will never open up 
open up
Cause I’m too afraid to get hurt and
don’t know what you’ll tell me 
man I feel so guilty
so I just
take...

in an ocean of life, you wash away
 the sand of pain, and in a balance, 
you bring it back, salty toffee arms 
holding me close in the past, present
and future, (my dear, haven’t i told 
you, floating in molasses and honey,
how i love you so, to the furthest stars
in the galaxy, milky way waterfalls
that twinkle and sparkle in those)
orbs of night sky kindness, holding
me, floating on memory foam and
cotton candy fluff, wispy...

Walking under the rain of my brain
on the road of my soul
Hoping to find myself
Hoping to find my will
Oh, Am I the road or am i the walker; I don’t know
I don’t know.
Am I the rain or am I the soil, I have no clue
I have no clue
I look around me, there, I see
Someone with eyes just like Me
Confused, he looked. And so he asked
Are you me? Or am...

i feel like the user-hosted contests thing has died out by now, but i missed the trend, so here i am. i'm going to leave a fairly long comment on every piece that's going to be entered, and there will be three winners and a couple of honorable mentions if i see fit. also, i'm going to republish this a lot so lots of people can see it, so if you keep seeing it on the dashboard and it's annoying...

Verse 1:
I have always wished that someday in my life 
I will be with you flying high in the sky
And we’ll be dancing among the stars 
And singing just like a sweet lark
Chorus:
And now just let’s get out of this stupid world and live our life happily
Let’s just stay up in the sky and do what we like to do
And never coming back over here 
Cause I wanna stay up with you
Verse 2: ...

I do not know when I began to feel like this, I do not know why I began to feel like this again.

But whenever I look back at our pictures, or just pictures of you, I get this weird emotional tang. I feel miserable whenever I think about what we could have been. Thinking of how happy we could have been, but now, it is no longer possible. I regret my decision. I regret coming out to say 'I...

"Paying 10 cents for every non-English word we say, it's ridiculous!" Fahmi ranted, spitting out his incredulity as I patiently pretended to listen beside him. "I mean, this is Malaysia, we're bound to speak in broken English. Come on lah!"

At that moment, one of the corridor patrols, a timid first-year in a black head cover—indicating she was a prefect—with a pearly white smile, outstretched her hand in front of us, halting us in our steps. The name tag on...
