El Sol y la Estrella

Sun wakes up;

Washes up and starts off a new brand day.

Star is running late for work and didn’t have enough time to do her hair.

All other stars are already shining over the whole world!

Sun checks his email while eating some yummy chocolate.

Star begins to shine and feels happy to be at her desk while Sun is already in bed.

They never see each other, but they’re extraordinarily connected.

Somehow Sun feels when Star is sad.

Somehow Star knows when Sun is worried.

They would love to chat sometime!

They would love to make jokes and tease each other.

They would love to hear each other’s stories.

Sun is happy!

Star is happy!

But they would be insanely happy if they could ever be together.

All stars, planets, and the moon say that’s impossible!

Sun and Star could never be together.

But what they don’t know is what Sun and Star truly feel.

They dream about each other and when the right tune plays on the radio they both know that somehow, somewhere, they will finally be together.

A magic bond, a magic bridge!

Call it the way pleases you; it’s just how it is.

Sun and Star will always be together not matter what!

Unique

Feel your sweet rage, your silent cry

Feel your awkwardness, your passion

You’re right here and I’m not me anymore

When you look into my eyes, you strip my soul

Useless layers and layers come off

Long time ago I learned to harden my heart, to hide

Blunt words

Frantic music

Passionate soul

The fire has been awaken and

I’m not me anymore

Useless layers and layers used to protect me

But your words, your silence, your eyes strip me off

And only a dumb girl remains

You are unique and I’m shaken

Time, time, time

Grateful for our separate roads

Your words, your silence, your eyes, your brains would’ve been my sweet malison

You’re unique!

Dreamed about you

Dreamed about you

Dreamed we were holding hands

Dreamed I hugged your back softly

Dreamed I asked you to come along

Dreamed I was afraid you'd see the real me

Dreamed I was proud to be holding hands with you

Dreamed we were putting flowers on the floor

Dreamed I was happy!

Dreamed everyone acknowledged we were meant to be together

Dreamed about you!

Grateful

So many storms

So many knock-outs

So many people telling you that you can’t

So many defeats

So many lonely days

But then you rise

And keep fighting

This is not an agonizing battle

This fight is the one you were looking forward to

This is the fight you’ve been preparing for

This is the time when you rise and look the world in the eye

And voice, “Here, I am! This is my fight, this is my life and for that I’m so grateful!”

Grateful for the defeats,

Grateful for the battles,

Grateful for the sword thrusts

Grateful for the challenges

Grateful for the mistakes

Because they teach you to rise and keep fighting

Grateful for this beautiful life and every single breath!

Madiba

Beautiful green land witnessed your birth

When your eyes opened light was shed everywhere

Strong South African soul!

Strong human soul!

Greatness was not your goal

Justice is all your heart longed

A real fighter!

A real leader!

Education is the core you once said

You never gave up!

Your body was jailed, but not your soul

They tried to extinguish the fire in your heart, but they failed

You were stronger than that

You were stronger than all the evil

Free thinker, free soul!

Revenge was not in your dictionary

You decided to learn the language of your enemy

You decided to pour forgiveness on your oppressors

Sacrifice, tears, separation…all you trade for your people

Love and forgiveness you taught us

You are not longer with us, but your thoughts, your love, your example will forever dwell in our hearts

Not only on your beautiful land, but on all corners of our world

Magic smile, wise eyes!

The world will never forget you, Tata!

God is hearing how grateful we are for having sent you to this world

The greatest, the humblest, the wisest!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Madiba!

Nothing

Didn’t guess I will ever find you

Didn’t guess this will end up like this

Didn’t guess your words, your attitude will hurt me

But I did learn!

I learned not to expect anything

I learned there is a big ocean between you and me

I learned that you never cared

Wish my thoughts and feelings were clearer

The hardest part is to stay still and do nothing

The hardest part is to realize the truth

Too many expectations perhaps…an “I’m sorry” would’ve done it

Wish I could scream… wish I could take this feeling into my hands and tear it off

But now I must do what is best for me

A whole world awaits and this feeling won't knock me down

In the meantime I will do the hardest part: "nothing".

Anyone there?

Hours and hours go by

Breathing in, breathing out

Chaos controls us

People coming and going like doomed souls

Anyone there?

Words are not heard

Emotions are not understood

You want out, but would that be enough?

You want to be left alone, but would that be enough?

You decide not to smile

You decide not be seen vulnerable, but would that be enough?

People and people pass by

Anyone there?

Heartbeats are misunderstood

Fear grabs you and you want out, but would that be enough?

Not big enough, not brave enough

And you wonder if there is someone out there

Someone in this strange land, in this strange world

Anyone there?

And suddenly you hear someone knocking at the door

Are you ready to go for it?

Yes, there is someone there for you

Decide to love, decide to climb the highest mountain, decide to open your heart

Believe there is someone there for you
