POEMS
HOW CAN I FORGET?

How can i forget?
Those days of laughter and tears
Of loneliness and happiness
We shared through all the years.

Yes, we've been together
And ought to know each other
We make life better
By helping each other.

How can i forget?
The time we spent here
Those memories to remember
And troubles we encounter.

But now the end is here
So we must go together
And let's just hope that somewhere
We will see each other.

SOMEWHERE

I want to go somewhere
To do what i want and not what they want
To express my true feelings and not to hide it from them
To decide not for anyone but for myself.

I want to go somewhere
Where i can cry when i'm hurt
Where i can laugh when i'm happy
Where i can show the real me.

I want to go somewhere
To be free even for a while
To forget those make-believes
To escape from unrealities.

I want to go somewhere
Where i can smile without pretending
Where i can talk and act
The way i want, the way i like.

THE REALITIES OF TIME

Think of the challenges
That life may bring
Yes, it is hard
But we must go on living.

Have enough courage
It is what we need
To be strong and smart
In everything we did.

In every step we take
We must go hand in hand
In every decision we make
We must use our mind.

Now is the time to think
To move, to act
For tomorrow may come
And the day will change

Know where to go
And follow the right way
To achieve our goal
We must have unity.

TO FEEL ALONE...

It's not always the song,
It's not always the poem,
It is in the heart,
Where truth express.

You may smile,
You may laugh,
But when you're alone
You can't hide the emptiness.

It is deep inside,
In your mind...
In your heart...
In your soul...

To feel helpless,
To feel hopeless,
To feel alone,
... is a complete distress!
