madness

by night owl

am so upset
that i allow myself
to lower down the protective wall

am so upset
that i allow myself
to be stabbed so much deeper than i have expected

which is more hurtful
the fact that you hurt me or
the fact that i allow myself to get hurt by you

which is more stupid
the fact that i still miss you or
the fact that i allow myself to miss you

strange o strange
stranger in a strange land
living as a strange mansurviving a strange life

Solitude and Silence

by Juge Sopczak

All I have to offer is solitude and silence.
No accomplishments to speak of,
having never finished anything
worth finishing
except bad relationships
and good friendships
I now regret not keeping.

Those I feel closest to
are the farthest away from me
while I keep myself distant
from those who are near.

If all you seek is solitude and silence,
this I can promise you without breaking.

I only ask, in return, to be allowed
my silence and solitude
from you.

In Solitude

by Sylvia Chidi

In solitude I remain
With absolutely nothing to gain
Perhaps in time I will be strong
You see! Solitude is not my favourite song

A solitary place
Is not where I belong
Read my lips and trace the lines on my face
You see! Solitude is not my favourite song

But social isolation
Combined with social manipulation
Places me once again in solitude
You see! Solitude is not my preferred attitude

This isn’t a journey of spiritual enlightenment
As some people might say to my resentment
But in great loneliness of this magnitude
I must find some self awareness in solitude

I must find strength and pretend
That everyone around me is my friend
To put this state of scale of elevation to an end
I must pretend, I must pretend
That even Solitude is my friend

冲动 (Chong Dong) Impulsive

Elva Hsiao

曲：黎沸挥 词：葛大为/黎沸挥


很感激 这城市拥挤的交通
让你我 还能多相处几分钟
人潮中 怕失散所以轻轻拉你的手
一刻不放松 不放松

忍不住 想要爱你的冲动
不确定你属于我 会有点寂寞
你给的幸福 在我心中自由走动
抚平我 每一个伤口

忍不住 想要吻你的冲动
不确定我的执着 能让你感动
我只能相信 自己感受不怕失落
关于你的一切 我想要比谁都懂

我的心 是被你设定的闹钟
提醒我 想你的时间不够用
为什么 平淡的事情现在忽然生动
是你改变我 你改变我

你是情人 还是朋友
还没勇气 想得太多
你的世界 如此辽阔
我会在哪个角落

Staring into Emptiness

by boToi

you feel that you have everything
you have a career
you work hard everyday
and yet you feel empty.

you have friends
you have family
you have love
and yet you feel empty.

you have a car
you have a handphone
you have a room/house
and yet you feel empty.

you have pets
you have hobbies
you have holidays
and yet you feel empty.

you have freedom
you have independence
you have a blog
and yet you feel empty.

you think you are smart
you think you have a heart
you think music heals your soul
and yet you feel empty.

you feel empty because there is something missing
you feel empty because you don't have time for yourself
you feel empty because you don't have time for your loved ones
you feel empty because you have forsaken HIM....

conFUSEd or burned FUSE?

by boToi

When are we seeing and not just looking?
When are we living and not just breathing?

When are we talking and not just speaking?
When are we friends and not just acquaintances?

When is it a job and not just work?
When is it "I'll do my best" and not just "I'll try my best"?

When is it wrong and not just a mistake?
When is it cruel and not just frankness?

When is it vanity and not just pride?
When is it talent and not just luck?

When is it deceiving and not just misleading?
When do we grasp and not just understand?

When is it a "dream come true" and not just achievement?
When is it a journey and not just a destination?

When is it madness and not just crazy?
When is it depression and not just sadness?

When is it love and not just affection?
When is it loneliness and not just solitude?

When is it a burden and not just responsibilty?
When is it a sacrifice and not just giving?

When is it "how are you?" and not just hello?
When is it bygone and not just goodbye?

When is it stupid and not just naive?
When is it courage and not just strength?

When is it obsession and not just desire?
When is it gluttony and not just indulgence?


When is it coffee and not just Starbucks?
