Mind so bright it's bling blanging and blinding so close your eyes.
You're not invincible everything eventually dies.
Even when it's dark you find a way to shine.
Nothing hurts forever but some things take time.
I did not make the rules so don't ask me why.
Don't believe anybody's story there is always 3 sides.
How you feel, how they feel, and what's right.
Stop wasting your breath telling me your lies.
I only believe what is seen with these 2 eyes.

Do you remember the time when that buddy...
Tried to give you their best friend advice...
They said “You don’t really have to do this!”
And you didn’t think they were being very nice...
You thought you had made the right decision...
You would be in love ‘til death do you part’
You thought you had married the perfect girl...
Until on your wedding night, all she did was fart...
......
No more will I make life freeze;
I will enjoy my life up to its lowest lees.
Life is short; it is precious;
Life can't stand with things malicious.
Why shouldn't I, why shouldn't I?
Soar with wings up in the sky?
Aye, I do love to dream;
Like the stars, I don't gleam,
But I will shine, shine, for sure;
The more will I shine, the more endure.

إغمس يراعك في دمي
واكتب نشيدا من فمي
وارقب شفاهي وهْيَ تهتف حازمات
فأنا أردد أغنيات
قبل الممات
هذي أغاني الجرح تتلوها الشفاه
هذي صلاة
فاكتب على هام الحياة
قصص الأباة
الشعب آمن بالحراب

Experience that you earn,
Must be utilized profitably,
Sad memories, you must burn,
And pursue further indefatigably,
Hopefully wait for your turn,
One day, you will win indubitably,
If efforts produce no return,
Fret and fume not uncomfortably,
Pray to the Lord to show concern,
Without keeping silent unjustifiably,
......
Advice to youth
In sailing ships of yore, on deck,
when you glanced up toward the sky,
if the sails were full and ship close to the wind,
then she was “full and by.”
You will soon arrive at the moment
to decide future and vocation;
that point in life to chart your passage

I am moved by your frozen face.
A testament to endless chase, controlling time with needless haste.
But past the mask, your honest life does not deserve to face a knife.
Injections for sale, a culture’s embrace,
A lifetime of living you plan to erase. Our culture's obsessed with endless praise
And authenticity's lost in the haze.
As you chase perfection, an image remade
Do not allow your true self to fade.
In seasons to come, may you welcome a thaw,
for true beauty lies in every flaw.
