A hunger has begun, deep and strong,
To chase the dreams where I belong.
Huge things to be had, far and wide,
Even if I must journey alone, with pride.
Hunger

In the Heart of the Crowd
In a crowd, I feel like I’m small,
Wishing quietly not to stand tall.
With a gulp and a sigh,
I just want to hide,
As my heart beats, it echoes the call.

Need to find new ways to pay.

Burning Lessons
Burn, baby, burn
For all the wrong things you have done,
Ashes drift where shadows turn,
In the fire, the past is spun.
Let the flames ignite the night,
From the embers, strength will rise,
In each end, there lies new light,
In the ashes, hope complies.
