Oshiniii

I look at them and sigh

When girls dream about their lovers

I see the grim reaper and smile

The moon has overtaken

The earth at the darkest night

Like you did to my cracked heart

I wished, I could embrace the moon

and be the first woman

and taste you for the first time

and feel the same way

They ask, "Man or Bear"?

I hear, Is it the animal who thinks

or the animal who feels

And I see with what I feel

They are all shocked

as if they have seen a bear

I ask what surprises them

For they have already seen

The atrocities men have caused

The difference is clear

That one animal will leave scratches

or at least give me a calm death

While the other will imprison me

With no fear

And let out a whisper

To the dark mister

I am stuck, I say

Where, he mocks

I let out a whimper

And he began to limber

I keep pleading

And crying

But he tapped on my head

And said

An old man

Takes out his tractor

Starts its engine

But the tractor doesn't make a noise

The old man starts it again

The tractor feels too shy

The old man's blood boils

He doesn't have time for foolery

The old man screams

and keeps screaming

The tractor tries its best

yet it's struggle angers the old man more

Finally the old man

Kicks the tractor with his boot

And it leaves a bigger dent

take him far away

from the fire

Under the water Everything looks darker

Time to time sun threw Golden rays to fall through

I come to the surface To see how the sunset fades

Then I see the tempest Darkening Apollo's nest

Far far away I see A lonely ship in the sea

There's a man in his blue navy planning his ship for saving

The clouds burst lightening And emitted sounds so terrifying

The water began to shiver As the clouds' tears hit her

Though I still swam to him Through the water so dim

At once, a light crashed That blinded my eyes

Finally I looked around to see nothing but an empty ship in the sea.

I wish I was my mother's son

Provide her without a fear

Give a warm shoulder for her tears

Make her proud and wear

I burn to give warmth

While I destroy

Every bit of me

whether I am the most beautiful

I say,

I love who I see in the mirror

it's like being a daisy

Among a field of roses...
