The Hidden Pain We Overlook
Do we see what others see?The hidden pain, the quiet plea,Heavy chains begging to be free,Leaving scars on hearts grown weak Who will speak when silence screams?Who will hear the fractured dreams,The sighs and cries of anguished souls,Battered by life’s relentless rolls? Terrorised by shifting fate,Tossed by storms that will not wait,Dragged through nights with…

I walked the wrong path and lost my way.Chasing headlines that led me astrayThinking that the road I travelled would let me strayTo prosperity, stardom and riches on display.

Symphony of the night
In a room of grace and mystery, we meet,Underneath the moon’s glowing heat,Dancing to a melody, hushed and discreet,We move our bodies, to a silent beat. No need for words, our souls converse,In the language of rhythm, we immerse,As our hearts entwine, and emotions reverse,We sway and twirl, in this universe. With every step, our…

It knocks on all kinds of doorsFrom boardrooms right to classroom floors.A bad…
