I AM AN EVENT, I'M NOT A THING (Y. Rahma, Iyanu T)

I am the bird that touched the sky 
It was a wonder, I had a good time 
I am the whale that swum the ocean depths 
It was a wonder, I had a good time

I am the phoenix that never dies
The seed of God that comes alive
I go quiet when I'm in pain
Holding it together like I'm insane 

So quiet, but boiling with rage
It's never nice to feel disgraced
Why take the way of scorn
When love is what can truly change? 

I still feel numb from all the pain
And lol, I can’t “drink it all away”
All these voices screaming at me 
Then I go silent ‘cause “I’m not enough”

And there in the dark corners of my mind,
Wallowing in self pity and sadness
All I need is to remember how it is to “finesse”
But I find pleasure in being controlled 

Then again,
I am the fire releasing heat and light 
I just have to “start a fight” and make them wonder
(Start a fight and make them wonder) 

The good voices are freed, they take over
And they all say, one by one:
I am an event, not a thing—
I am an event, not a thing...

MARY HAD SOME LITTLE WORDS

On this special day, I wanted to take a moment to send you my warmest birthday wishes. You have played such an incredible role in my  life, and I can't express enough how grateful I am to have you as an elder brother figure. From the very beginning, you have been there for me, guiding me through life's ups and downs as only a true brother would.

HAVEN'T FOUND THE ANSWER YET

I searched the four corners of the wind I listened hard, I heard the birds sing I saw them take to flight and fly free I saw power in their wholesome wings  I went deep down the ocean depths  The primordial power of the earth I felt  Was ever so majestic the deeper I went Words fail to capture the essence  I climbed the mountains of the highest peaks Caught the sunrise on the tallest trees Saw so much beauty that I couldn't breathe Saw greatness that made my heart to freeze  In high spirits, but my energy spent  Still seeking answers, but I couldn't make a dent I searched the secrets of the seven seas I was put to bed by the gentle breeze  It doesn't matter if I spend my last cent   These answers are worth more per every cent  Yet on my strength I can't depend  To the grace of God, I must defer For in the fire, I found no answer In the earthquake, I heard no response  In the thunder, there was no reply  But in the g...
