Makes You Angry
All I need is you
And low natural light infiltrating the room
We often play pretend in our minds and while we think
We think lightly of our due dates, more if we’re on time

But I saw a lot of beauty for you ...

#3 (sister mine)
Sister mine.
A perfect
spite-jewelled child.

Father's Day
When the crushing dark ice was enclosing

Even with my mode set to stressed,
by my code, I'm impressed
to find how feature-rich a brother, you might make.

AMAA - A REALLY GREAT TEACHER
AMAA - A REALLY GREAT TEACHER
I know Amaa,
You taught me, how to love?
When you take care of me,
When I was a small child.
I know Amaa,
You taught me, how to make sacrifices?
When I ate and you don't

I know Amaa.
You taught me, how to read and write?
When you compels me every evening,
To write my name, when I ...
