Sometimes I get lost within myself.
Behind this brown skin
Is the child that was born, bright
And the boy that fell in love
...
I prefer girls with bright futures
But God the benevolent,
In his infinite mercy wouldn't bless me with one
Except those with overwhelming pasts.
...
I wasn't in Tonga
Neither was I in Kiritimati,
But I was the first to see the dawn of the new year.
Heaven has passed me by a hundred times
...
How many times would I tell you
That I am from here?
My father was the Mayor
...
At the face of death,
When the last string is about
To cut off
From the board of the guitar
...
"God must have wanted to update his dictionary, and while redefining the word beautiful, he created you"
For "The beautiful you"
...
I have traveled far and wide
Carrying secrets
and scars
From dry hot lands to greener pastures
...
أكتب هذا مع الأسف والكثير من الحب.
'aktib hdha mae alasfi walkathir min alhabb.

Antisocial
Sometimes I get lost within myself.
Behind this brown skin
Is the child that was born, bright
And the boy that fell in love
With his space,
Silence
Warm atmosphere
And darkness...
Remolded from the hot storms of his environment!
I found love but live without it!
I hear voices.
Voices that tells me when to stop!
When to smile,
When to keep mute,
When to talk; what to say,
When to pack my belonging and leave
gatherings of friends.
Voices that warns me lest I fall into trouble.
Some people say I'm a psychopath
Some say I've a dissociative personality disorder
Others say I'm narcissistic
But I'm just a Sociopath.
A victim of my environment.
