People talk, people talk But they don't wanna say what they're really trying to say Hopes and fears, smoke and mirrors Save all the thinking, words by themselves they just fade People either talk to you or talk at you. Why are we afraid to speak out? Why do we hide what we really want to say? We tend to agonise over things and panic because pressure piles up. Why do people find it hard to find the words to say? Do they lack the language skills? Do they not have enough vocabulary to be able to articulate? Are we even happy with talking at all anymore? There just seems to be so much noise lately and I don't know if the hopes are being replaced by fears. Making a conscious effort to really talk about issues is important. but you would need to feel safe in order to do that right? People run, people walk But they don't ever see past the world that they're in So if it's talk that you want from me then maybe you should let me in Most of the time I don't know if I e...

  I'd like to say we gave it a try I'd like to blame it all on life Maybe we just weren't right But that's a lie, that's a lie How do you know that you have given everything your all? You have done everything you could have possibly done in your relationship? Maybe you are in a relationship by yourself it seems, because you make all of the effort, you make all of the necessary ways to be connected, but you just don't feel it. We can go ahead and blame how busy life gets or we just don't feel a certain type of way about others as we thought. How do you know that you are with the right person? Sometimes history isn't enough to see you through anymore. How about some real loyalty and some just plain realness actually.  We can only blame others for so long before you realise what part you had to play in that situation. Whatever doubts you are entertaining now, they wouldn't have sprung there for no reason. Can you trust yourself? And we can deny it as mu...

This is for the busted hearts This is for the question marks This is for the just found out  Life is now upside down This is for the second chance  This is for the new romance Sing it for the loved in vain Overcome, it's not too late Do you find yourself being lost among a sea of people? So many more broken people than I had last seen at last count. You would be forgiven for blaming everything on a global pandemic but the truth is, the deeper seated problems that we always knew existed have become too hard to ignore. How are you keeping yourself anchored during this time? Are you able to find yourself drawing close to real people who have your best interests at heart?  Maybe you are just too afraid to confront what is really in your heart. What have you just found out that threatens to change your way of life? Things you cannot control because you have obligations to fulfill. How do you know when you are being fulfilled? If you're lookin' for hope tonight, raise your hand...

If it makes any difference I still love you girl You're my weakness You changed my world How do you know you have changed someone's world?  Do they tell you? Do they show you? A combination of both?  It can sometimes be hard to navigate new waters of relationships if you are unsure about how things are supposed to turn out.  Well, that's part of the problem anyway; the fact that you try to make things fit, when it isn't meant to be that way at all.  You're just supposed to just enjoy each other. Well at least that's what I think. There is no way to know for sure unless you're told. unless they show you just how much they care. Maybe they just don't want you to know how much of a weakness you are in their life. So it's best just to leave well enough alone, because the time will come. Share my life Trust in me You're all I want Everything I need (ooh baby) How can you hope to trust someone if you can't even trust yourself? What does s...

All the time they want to take your place The back stabbers (back stabbers) (They smilin' in your face) All the time, they want to take your place The back stabbers (back stabbers) All the fellas who have someone and you really care, yeah, yeah Then it's all of you fellas who better beware, yeah, yeah Who is trying to take your place? You might be missing from the scene, busy doing something else, maybe something more constructive and in your absence they might be trying to make sure that they are being destructive. I can never understand why people do that. If someone does something great that is a wonderful idea and works for the greater good of all, I set about making time to dismantle that idea. But I sure have been on the receiving end of people who like to do that with me. I'm not saying to adopt some kind of "woe is me" attitude. I speak facts about what I have experienced through my lived reality. I can count off in great detail, incidents that have happen...

I can't stop talking to myself I keep on looking in the mirror Something is different about me these days Or maybe I just woke up I know I'm breaking through my shell 'Cause everything is getting clearer A little light can make a lot of change Or maybe I just spoke up Or maybe I am just finally I'm celebrating my birthday today in New Zealand. I haven't had a birthday cake in a few years, but tonight I got one as I'm currently sitting in a church Sunday School Teachers' meeting to confirm our exams for this year - so it's hard to come to a meeting and not bring a cake. If you know you know. It's a Pacific Island thing. It's a Samoan thing. So, another year older, is anything different? Has anything changed? I find that the older I get, the less tolerance I have for people who waste my time. But in actual fact, I like to be able to spend time the way I see fit, with people whom I value spending time.  There should be a sense of clarity that comes ...

There's no emergency No sirens in front of me There's nothing to stop me from getting my way, yeah I'm not going anywhere If you tell me, I'll stay right here I'll be in the same place everyday Heart stays patient  'Cause I know it's worth it I think I've become desensitised. I'm not quite sure if it's a bad thing or not. Does this mean that I've experienced trauma more than the average person? Possibly. There is no limit to this because you cannot have the good without the bad. We only want the good, but then do not know how to deal with the bad when it stares us in the face. Have you thought about what you would like to do to get yourself out of what seems to feel like a glitch in the matrix? How do you know that you have the fortitude to withstand this kind of abuse?  When people say the struggle is real, how real does it have to be?  The kind of real where you are often given unsolicited advice and you didn't ask for it? That they thi...
