Rain Rain, Go Away

    can’t you see I’m sad today

    why also make the sky so gray?

The Girl with No Shadow 

    no one notices

    no condolences

A PATH THROUGH SUFFERING

    paved alone

    it’s all I’ve known

Find Me

    in the crisis

    just wanna be priceless

SEARCH THE SHADOWS 

    never give up

    you’ll find me among the other screw-ups

IT TAKES a FAMILY 

    so start acting like one!

    otherwise the dark side has won

Stop the Insanity! 

    these shadows are choking me

    just want you, me, all of us, to be free

caught in the act

    swear I was naive

    please, I was deceived!

IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE

    deliverance came!

    such brilliant light cleansed my shame

SLAYING THE DRAGON

    I stand alone no longer

    Here stronger conquer the monster

CARE OF THE SOUL

    mind no longer enshroud

    more than possible, all power endowed

The Law of Love 

    a fresh perspective

    a life now actually effective

STANDING FIRM

    standing my ground

    beyond the shadow, I am found!

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep

    pray the Lord my soul to keep

    and if I die while counting sheep…

If... 

    not even the question anymore

    when, that’s a better word to explore

Drive Me Crazy

    can’t take it anymore

    what’s this life worth living for?

NOT A DAY GOES BY

    that I don’t consider it

    do I have the nerve to commit?

AT RISK

    they say I’m in despair

    but what do they care?

DEAD CONNECTION

    make the connection

    just need some affection

LOVE’S EXECUTIONER

    wrote the note, how I loved you

    just wish you felt the same too

BLESSED TRAGEDY 

    to be put out of this misery

    sorry if this causes injury

NATURE’S END

    screaming, I came into this world

    crying, sighing, I leave it unfurled
