Feel Better


If I kiss you where it's sore
If I kiss you where it's sore
Will you feel better, better, better 
Will you feel anything at all
Will you feel better, better, better
Will you feel anything at all


If I tell you I want to make you smile
If I tell you I want to sooth ur pain
If I tell you I want to calm your fears
Would you let me close enough to do so
Would you let me kiss you where it hurts
And where do I kiss? Where does it hurt?
Your hands, Your neck, Your lips or Your tears

Born like sisters to this world
In a town where blood ties are only blood
If you never say your name out loud to anyone
They can never ever call you by it


If i had that penny worth more than precious stones
The one that could pay for your thoughts
Would you tell me what you were thinking
Would you let me into that private space
If I told you I would understand
Would you pretend that you cannot hear?
Would you pretend that I am not here?

You're getting sadder, getting sadder
Getting sadder, getting sadder
And I don't understand
And I don't understand 

No matter the degrees of separation
I can still feel your pain
I see the tears you try so hard to hide
The silence echos louder than you think
You hide in your own world, lose yourself in deep thought
Because you were placed in a scary, selfish, arrogant world
Now you feel invisible, ordinary .. nothing .. dead

But if I kiss you where it's sore
If I kiss you where it's sore
Will you feel better, better, better
Will you feel anything at all
Will you feel better, better, better
Will you feel anything at all



Will you show me where it hurts?
And will I just be kissing the surface?
Will I have to get inside of you?
Will I have to kiss your thoughts?
Will I have to kiss your dreams?
Will I have to kiss your heart?
Do I have the permanent fix?

Anything at all
Will you feel anything at all
Anything at all
Will you feel anything at all
Anything at all... 

If it hurts all over, then I'm all over you
If it hurts in those dark, uncharted parts of you
Those not-particularly-scenic parts of you
Those almost-totally-unheard-of parts of you
The parts I'm eager to know .. and explore
The trail that runs deep into your thoughts, your soul
In that little corner of your heart, I want to plant a kiss


But if I kiss you where it's sore ..


Let me
Let's see









Get Well Soon





Feel Better



#1 Inspiration: 'Better' by Regina Spektor. I love her. (The words in black are her lyrics, the rest are mine)
#2 Inspiration: Conversations I've had over the past few days, things I see around me, stories.. and mostly my imagination.

For You :) Hope you like it. Begin To Hope.

Through the storm... We change the world!!



The storm is coming, but I don't mind
People are dying, I close my blinds
All that I know is I'm breathing now
I want to change the world .. Instead I sleep
I want to believe in more than you and me
But all I can do is keep breathing ...


I had a dream, a wonderful dream
That I could grow up and change the world
I had a dream, that I could go places
So I toiled to get where I am
High school, College, Work, Marriage, LIFE
I still toil, I still sweat
I'm lethargic, I'm tired
Its more than I anticipated
More than I can take
... I sleep ... I snooze
I still have a dream, a distant dream


On the road to the riches don't forget to stop and take pictures
Pay attention to each detour and u-turn along the way
Be aware of the winding roads
Know that as long as you take it slow
You'll be fine, plus you'll find ... You're already there
Cos life ain't always about where you finish
But what you learn along the way
So as you chase success, remember that I told you
You look fine, then you'll find ... You're already there


I worry, I fret, I feel inadequate
Pressure, Competition, It gets harder and harder
Many rivers to cross, many hurdles to jump
The world is hard, fast and cold
The whole world is moving forward, yet I stand still
I am afraid I will fail .. What is failure?
I'm lethargic, I'm tired
Its more than I anticipated
More than I can take
... To sleep? ... To snooze?
I can't simply dream, I have to live it


With the glass half empty, at least you know you aren't thirsty
Try to see it for what it is, half full, now take a sip
Don't compare your life to somebody else
Cos you don't know just what they are going through
Don't be blind, the sun shines on everybody here
I know that sometimes life can throw a curve
But you have to keep on swinging hard
Its the only way to knock one out the park
And if it doesn't make it over the wall know that
That the only way to strike out is if you don't swing at all







~ Inspired by Ingrid Michaelson- Just Breathe, Usher- There Goes My Baby
~ For You, Busta, Because u made a request .. and when I got inspired, I obliged
~ And for all my friends, those struggling with exams, pressure, competition, inadequacies, tiredness, LIFE!! Remember, sometimes it gets worse before it gets better. Joy cometh in the morning. Don't forget to keep praying, because God has a plan for all of us.. do your part and leave the rest to Him. (Yeah, if this whole Finance business doesn't work out for me I plan on becoming a pastor, so do not hate on my Pastor Swag!! hehe)
~ Shout outs to (shout out paa? lol).. Mariam, Wendy, Krys, Kay, My Med Sch Peeps, Clark Hse Peeps, Daniel, Sadik (Lover! You fill up my senses! lol), Amtul, Michelle, Babs, Maame, Angela, Shamwow, Powis,Peri Peri Chicken, Seabass, Mawuli, Nana K (eggus), infact am tired- the whoooole fandm squad, past and present, dat be all. 
~ Oh and lastly remember.. things could have been worse!!!





Please, no World Cup, its just humor... but its true things could be worse. (For this to hold, let's ignore the fact that there is a possibility that some people might find the second instance comforting, enjoyable, etc etc..)
