The Untold

I see how he looks at me, Different everytime we are together, Every look telling a story, A different story, Always accompanied by a smile, Clearly exposing his dimples. The way he holds me, It is a feeling I cannot put in words, So gentle and with care, Communicating to me with unspoken words, Only the two of us understand, Always awakening something new in me. He makes me feel like no other person ever did, Like I'm the only thing that matters, Even at his weakest point, He gives me his strength, Whenever he is around, A sense of peace overwhelms me, With him I feel at home, I look at him and I see my future, Standing right in front of me, If this is not love, I don't know what it is. But he is a foreigner in my country, My friends and family do not approve, They are completely clueless of how I feel, Constantly reminding me that loneliness awaits, Relentlessly hurting me with words of disapproval. But I refuse to give up ...

Be yourself People might have told you things about you, And at times you might have believed, What the world say who you are or what you are, You might not believe in yourself because of what people say about you, You might not believe you are beautiful as you think, You might not go after your dreams, Because you are told that you will never achieve, You could be falling apart and thinking that, You will not overcome because that's what you have been told. Woman, stop! Young man, STOP, I tell you today to stop believing all those lies, No one knows you better than you do, No one knows what you can or cannot do apart from yourself, Listen to your heart, follow the little voice from within, Do not let the world define you, Do not let those around you to determine your limits, You can do much more than you can ever imagine, If only you block out what the world says about you. You are not too broken to think you cannot heal, Let go of fea...

Dear self When everybody has forgotten about you, Friends and family have forsaken you, When no one is there by your side, When you feel you have lost your everything, And you feel that all hope is gone. Do not be afraid, Do not fear the change, Do not hide your imperfections, Don't be ashamed of yourself, For I know your flaws and perfections. Find me within you and, Lean on me for hope, Cling on me for strength, Call on me when you feel heavy and burdened, Cry to me and I will be your shoulder. I will be there to share your pain and sorrow, Your joy and happy moments shall be mine, I will follow you wherever you go, I will be there to take every step with you, I promise to always be the one thing that never leaves.

Found Been lost for so long, Not sure of what moment she was in, Doing just what was there to do, Not really knowing who she was, Not knowing what she needed, She was happy but she wasn't herself, Mostly doing things to please those around, She was simply going with the flow. The sun set went with her worries, The sun rose and happiness returned, Cheers to the girl who found herself, The one who is happy with being herself, To the one who believes in herself. Bravo to the girl that lives in the present, To the one who isn't scared of anything, Here is to the one who realized that her happiness matters, To the one who is at peace with everything around her. This is a song of joy and happiness, A dance to celebrate her life. Saara N Kanana

Stranger Walking from place to place, Wondering in the streets of my township, Searching around the neighborhood, Every familiar place seems odd, Even the corners of my house are unusual, Lost in thought all the time As if my soul had left me, A stranger I am in my country.

Wake me up   You asked me to believe in you, I did You asked me to trust you, I did You told me that you cared about me And that you loved me I believed I believed you when you said you were not going to leave my side That you will stay with me no matter what gets in the way When you asked me to give you a piece of my heart, I gave you my whole You gave me life and took it all away I saw my life stumble right at my feet When you shot me right through my heart with a shotgun Breaking my heart in a thousand pieces And stepping on my broken pieces as you walked away With nothing left to pick myself up I should have known you lied I should have known you were a lie I should have known you looked at me and lied through my eyes I should have known you were playing games with me I wish I had known all that I know now Snap me out of it, I'm dreaming someone wake me up Tell me it will be all right, That I had a bad day and it's just a bad dream. Wake me ...

On graduation day, her parents and Samuel escorted her to the hall and the most unexpected thing happened while they were taking pictures, Samuel went on one knee.

It was a magical moment, she was overwhelmed by the joy and the only thing she could do was shed tears of happiness. She couldn't say the words out loud so she stretched out her hand instead. Her stretching out her hand was a way of accepting the p...
