Relationship was chill until it became a whole big riddle
Little by little
I felt belittled
It felt unreal it wasn’t ideal
I wanna wake and bake
And I wanna bake a cake
I wanna dance and shake
With you
I step on my brakes and come to terms with the real
Not everything is always ideal
there are so many thoughts running through my head
y las palabras “tú tío ya falleció “salen de tu boca con una calma
we know he is now resting in peace after nearly a decade of fighting cancer
and it hits me i’m sinking into darkness not able to accept the fact that he is gone
nobody said it was easy
it was like having no lungs to breathe but being told to breathe
i never let go of the hand that guided me through the darkness
y me recuerdo de una voz que me dijo con una calma “todo va estar bien mi niña.”
Why? Why this happen? Wasn’t I enough?
Why? Why this happen? Wasn’t I enough?
I made you my world
A world of happiness and Joy
A safe haven for my peace.
As you destroy it, I will rebuild my world once again
A perfect world that you won’t be a part of
I will open myself like a blossom
And spread love to my surroundings
I will arise and begin a new cycle
A never-ending cycle is full of love and joy.
