i never wanted it
any other way
i love a love
each and every
each and every
i love a love
any other other
other way
oooh oooh oooh
let me be lonesome
those words i choose to say
it wouldn’t change what’s going on
and i assumed my eyes could see
something’s changed about me
but it takes more
the sound of flying
each single drop
the choices i made
each single drop
the choice
each single drop
decisions i made
the world turns in mysterious ways
i recognize
its on me
i was above up on the ceiling looking down
and i do recognize
ooooh ooooh oooh
who is she?
i could see
oh who is she is?
in a way i never seen
in a way i never seen
outside of me
another side of me
outside of me
another side of me
so let me be lonesome
and it wouldn’t change what’s going on
no it wouldn’t change
upside down, in the understanding
it wouldn’t change what’s going on
outside
believe me
i say nothing
hear me
i speak nothing
believe me
i’m invisible
live for me
i’m invisible
live for me
oh, i wanna live
oh, i wanna love, yes
all of the fears
all of the love
each single drop
my love is seen for my weakness
forever love
my hope my weakness forever love

LEARNNG LESSONS
By Fauzia Rafique
Pull out some
Squirming worms from inside
Put them in a glass bottle
Hide it in my pocket
When an enemy passes by
Throw at them in fistfuls
I have no friend everyone is enemy
Put my bugs in everyone
My copybook is full of these lessons
They beat with canes to teach
‘Bend your neck, motherfucker.
No one is your friend, everyone an enemy.
Put your bugs in everyone, bend your neck’.
With a bent neck
I asked a plant for
GulcheeN flowers
Picked fallen branches of sandalwood
By myself on a moonlit night
made a bonfire in the park
this lesson I cooked in a green pot
on a slow burning fire
When the moon sank
that’s what I had been eating to rise
