Oh Sri Lanka, what have you become? But a slave to corrupt, power hungry scum, A country once known for her welcoming smile, That nobody has seen in a really long while. Sadly, it was your people who let you down, Their thievery and greed stole your crown, They pillaged, plundered, and set you back, And it will take a miracle to get you on track. But once a glimmer of hope was ignited, Under one banner, the people stood united, They fought side by side for one great cause, To free you from the grip of those slimy claws. But “political' agendas quickly extinguished that flame, And once again they hang their heads in shame, Your legacy, your heritage and history were buried, By the very people your heart once carried. You’ve dealt with colonisers, wars even pandemics, Now you barely have fuel or food, it’s pathetic, You’ve even bowled over the world in the sports arena, How to restore that glory? The "leaders" have no idea. Your forefathers would be very disappointed, Seein...

They think they're better than the rest smarter, more mature, and stronger too  but in reality when they're put to the test they are the easiest people to see through They live in a bubble, a blissful ignorance in their minds, they can make no mistakes and there's no limit to their arrogance they'll get their way, no matter what it takes They always put themselves first  and be the first to call another person weak their way of quenching that hurtful thirst is by placing themselves on that peak There's no reasoning with them, not at all in their eyes, everyone else is beneath them they'll do anything to make others feel small like demean, humiliate, hurt and condemn  If only they could see the error in their hearts and understand the severity of what they inflict but they don't, even if they tear someone apart only their opinion matters, even if others contradict They're so blinded by their egos and selfish ways they think they're invincible and ...

You speak to me, in ways I never knew  It's amazing how you see right through  You're like a warm embrace on a cold night And you make every situation feel so right   You speak to my heart, so true and pure Pain is a disease and you are a cure You're able to define the emotions we feel You’re the only thing that's pure and real   Even without a voice, you speak a million words You bring people together from all over the world The power you hold is second to none And you're our friend when we have no one   You are heard everywhere and loved by all You've held my hand and caught me as I fall Whether I'm happy or sad, you'll always be there You don't even know me, but I know you care   Crossing cultural, racial, and ethnic divides You yourself are a language that provides No matter the message, everyone listens You speak to through every note written   You understand without so much as a question You truly are the world's greatest invention Without ...

There you are, a distant memory  A ghost that continues to haunt me Just a reminder of the love I feel Another chapter in a story surreal I've trusted my heart, I have no regrets And You were as real as real could get All I wanted was to love you and be true  Because I always saw the real you  I saw the pain and the darkness within And the shadows you've tried to hide them in  I've seen the truth, I've seen your heart And I've known you right from the start  I understand why I wasn't right  And I know why you weren't willing to fight The fault is mine, and mine alone And that's why I, am still on my own I guess there just wasn't meant to be A future for the likes of you and me Not romantically, but maybe as friends  And yet if you need me, I'll be there till the end  Will I hold it against you? no I won't  Do I regret anything? No I don't  The heart wants what the heart wants  And it's my heart that you will always haunt  In th...

Those with golden hearts Are cursed from the start  They feel more than others  And as such, they suffer  They love unconditionally  And make decisions irrationally  They cling to glimmers of hope  Cos it's the only way they cope  But they're often put to the test And they hurt more than the rest Cos they are driven by empathy  And are clouded by sympathy  Easily open and freely used  And quite often they are abused   Hearts that thrive on loyalty Honesty, love, and integrity They give too much too soon And they never end up immune To pain, to suffering, and grief It always seems like there's no relief No matter how good the intentions They don't even get an honorable mention It's almost a law that is unspoken That hearts of gold always end up broken

Who is good for us and who isn't? Who improves us and who doesn't? It's up to us to choose, though it is tough  Who we want by our sides, when life gets rough  Friendships are a dime a dozen, that's a fact  And everyone claims that they have your back As we get older, everything changes  Even best friends, can end up strangers  But it's up to us, it's our call to make Even if the decision is or ends up a mistake  And though looking out for ourselves is a must It is important to know who we can trust  Because we all fester about who will be there, And sometimes we're blind to people who really care  Communication is another essential  Because a lack of it, can be a defining differential  We can a do lot by just reaching out to each other  And resolve any issues we have with one another  If we accept our faults, we can progress more  As human beings we have to, in order to grow  It’s easy to blame others for our shortco...

We’re all driven by our emotions By how we feel, in any situation We're built for both joy and pain Even if it drives us all insane It's the way of the world we live in Even if sometimes it feels like a prison That's human nature, how it's meant to be We feel everything we touch, hear and see Love, happiness, pain, and sadness Stress, frustration, anger, and madness Our emotions can break us or keep us intact Because they always determine how we react Our reactions are based on what we feel And sometimes it clouds fake from real Emotions also define how we see others And sometimes dictates how we treat one another They can unite and separate people And give us strength or make us feeble We're born with free will to make our own choices And we have a right to use our own voices But our voices aren't always strong Because sometimes they can steer us wrong So think about the feelings, each and every day Because in reality, our emotions can lead us astray

Fight back, stand your ground Don’t let anyone push you around People pray on weakness every day Don’t let anyone put you in harm’s way Nobody has the right to put you at risk Don’t’ be blind, walk away straight and brisk Fight back; take control of your life Stop letting others put you in strife Live life on your terms, not anyone else’s Sometimes we all have to be a little selfish Whether friends, colleagues or whoever Nobody controls you, not now, not ever Your fate is your own, and that’s a fact A genuine few will always have your back How you choose to live is entirely your choice, Don't be afraid to stand up and use your voice Because it’s all entirely up to you alone Make your decisions all on your own Above all, by your heart do what’s right Don’t be afraid, just stand up and fight

On our family, loved ones and friends We only see the good in them all And hope they’ll catch us when we fall We blindly put our hearts in their hands Regardless of where they stand But sometimes that trust is misplaced And we end up in a really dark place Trust is hard to rebuild when it’s broken Especially when no words are spoken It leaves our hearts broken and tattered Making us feel like we never really mattered But that’s life and not everyone stays And we still open our hearts every day Because nobody wants to live life alone And even if it’ just a voice on the phone We need someone to talk to and to listen Because our own minds can feel like prison It's the people that stay that are an absolute godsend They truly care and will be there till the end But still, for all, it would be naive  To think that even they won't leave But it's not wrong to trust or open our hearts Because we never know what it may start? It could be ...

Hope is the need to be happy, when the world is weighing you down. It’s the need to smile, when everything is going wrong Hope is the need for love, when you feel like you’re unworthy. It’s the need for companionship, when you’re all alone. Hope is the need for empathy when nobody seems to understand its the need for likeminded people who can relate to how you feel Hope is being able to reach out, knowing there’s a helping hand. It’s the loyalty of friends and family, when you need them more than anything. Hope is the driving force of life, when you’re back is against the ropes. It’s what pushes you forward, when everything holds you back. Hope is the need for justice, when unfathomable acts are committed. It’s the need for something to believe in, when all else seems lost Hope is all that we have, to help us get through the worst. It’s the belief that things will get better, despite all the things that hurt.

There’s always one in the room A person you just don’t see One that always goes unnoticed And not because aesthetics don’t agree There’s always one, who feels inferior   One who’s always had it rough From the way they look to how they speak They feel they’ve never been enough There’s always one, who is unhappy One who always hides behind a façade Who tries hard to make a difference But nobody sees or knows to applaud There’s always one, blinded their past One who sees only weakness Blinded to the strength within them By life’s unrelenting bleakness There’s always one, feeling unworthy Of success, happiness, and love Looking enviously of those lucky few Like they’ve been blessed from above There's always one, c arrying the weight of the world One who gladly took the blame Never thinking twice about taking a hit Or wanting anyone to do the same There’s always one, who doesn’t believe in themself One who feels happiness ...

Unrequited love is the worst kind of pain It hurts so much it can drive us all insane Nothing blinds more than one’s own heart Especially when the battle is lost from the start It's almost crippling and it always ends in sorrow You're just a victim of Cupids misguided arrow Falling in love shouldn’t ever be regretted Even when it’s someone you never expected It's like they don't see you for who you are But when you open up its like they don't care The heart wants what it wants and that’s okay Some just aren’t going to feel the same way It's just something that was never meant to be No matter how right it felt, they just can’t see They just don’t feel the same as you feel Even if in your heart it all felt so real You end up on the sidelines with nothing to show And become just another person that they ignore That’s just how life goes; you can’t force its hand Sometimes things just don’t go as planned To those who’ve been there, don’t...

As we all battle through the darkest of days Let’s all be thankful for the ones who stayed Because at your side there will be a few Who will hold your hand and guide you through Shoulders to cry on when you’re at your worst Friends you can lean on that you didn’t see at first People who understand and will always be there Reminding you of love when you feel nobody cares Isolation can take a toll, it’s relentless and unkind It plays on our weaknesses and leaves us blind We aren’t the only ones enduring its darkness Sometimes it’s hard to fathom its harshness It makes us feel lonely though we aren’t really alone And it provided a loyalty we have seldom known So let’s be thankful for those who kept us all sane And get past the  darkness and be together again

Life is sometimes really unfair Showing us things that really aren’t there It’s like reading a cover of a book Sometimes all we can do is look We never know what it’s like inside And it’s not up to us to decide Fate has already made up its mind That life is going to be unkind It always shows us what we can’t possess How we get around it is anyone’s guess We see people living extravagant lives And we can only envy as they thrive Like a child wanting an expensive toy But it’s another unattainable joy We see love and envy romance In our hearts we would kill for a chance But sometimes it’s just not meant to be Or at least we feel like we may never see That fairy tale ending we want real bad And we live on, still alone and sad It’s all so close and yet so far We feel it’s part of who we are Like you’re that character in the story Who tries so hard but finds no glory Like a window shopper in the rain all wet Wanting something, we can never...

There’s so much you hold inside So much that you don’t confide Outward smiles and inward screams Reflecting on your broken dreams When it’s all pent up, it takes a toll And you feel the fire within your soul Your blood starts to boil deep within But you can’t let out what you’re holding in It may be your family, even your friends And it feels like it will never end People love to tell you to how to deal And how you’re supposed to feel They tell you that you must stay strong Because reacting is apparently wrong Nothing good can come from violence So just absorb and deal in silence Keep throwing punches in your mind And destroy the ones being so unkind Let your mind take pleasure in the pain Of all the fiends driving you insane Just hold back with all your might Drive out your demons and continue to fight Just take a breath and control your rage And don’t let the monster out of its cage

There you are again, your smile driving me insane, and I just cant get enough, I'm a teddy bear, though I claim to be tough, what you do to me is incredible, and it seems absolutely inconceivable, that even after all this time gone by, you still make me melt, smile and sigh, I cant understand it, is it an infatuation? or is it simply that I cant understand the situation, cos my heart is confused and frustrated, with all this affection not demonstrated, I'm trying to figure out how I really feel, and still I wonder if this is really real? again I cant help but wonder, my heart beating like rolling thunder, and I'm just standing here looking at you, wondering, could this really be true? because it's driving me crazy, and my mind is getting all hazy, you're like a drug, and I'm addicted, man, this isn't going how I predicted because now I wanna hold you close, I'm drawn to you by some supernatural force, I know these words often go ...

The evil plaguing our world is really overbearing money and power stops people from caring no law and order, just fear in our hearts and sadly, we have all played our parts We are to blame for the madness around we caused it, because we didn't make a sound they play us like we're pawns in a game and the fact that we let them, is a crying shame They murder, pillage and rob us all blind  and again we let them, it boggles the mind remember this land is belongs to every one  and its not just for one party or family to run They don't even realize they're committing treason, they just do things, without even reason lying, cheating and stealing for personal gain how has all this not driven us all insane?? We want progress but we're going in circles and then we sit and wait hoping for a miracle are we really that stupid? have we learned nothing? a change wont come if we don't do something But no, we ignore it all like it...

You hang your head in shame knowing that you're to blame then realising life is not a game and that nothing will be the same Your decisions came at a cost looking back at all your lost at every opportunity you've tossed regretting every line you crossed Reeling from a broken heart but it was always you from the start you're the reason life fell apart and you've turned it into an art Paying the price for all your crimes could actually take a really long time in certain eyes you're worse than slime and your apologies aren't worth a dime It doesn't matter how hard you've tried or how many tears you've cried eventually the pain will subside to your circumstances you must abide Forgive your foes and embrace your friends cos only a few will be at there in the end just take your time and make amends and let your guilty conscience mend
