Head is spinning
All I can do is stare
Knock on my head
Is anyone there?

The world is spinning
I try my best to get off
This roller coaster I've made.
But what did I find?
The safety bar's clamped tight.
I guess I'm going on a ride,
Wanna hold my hand?
I'm falling down fast.
Eyes water, I can't see.
I'm flying now, just like Superman,
Gravity is my kryponite.

Life is a box of chocolate
So take a bite,
Chew it all up.
Swallow it down,
Before it eats you inside.
Before it makes you drown.
The leaves are spinning,
Twirling in the wind.
Dancing to songs
Only I hear.
If I were blind
I would still be afraid of the dark.

Life is a race, racing, trying
Not to pant, keep the rhythm,
Always smiling when you lose,
Never crying when you die.
Who can judge life?
Murder is fratricide.

Walking down the street,
I get the jittery blues.
Looking all around,
Violent dark hues.
Shivering and jerking,
Who knows what it lurking?
Murking, unfolding,
The whole world unravels.
Like that string on my shirt,
Just keep pulling and pulling.
Life is real tough,
Breaking stitches is grueling.

Hello brothers and sister,
I yell from the nest.
You are all still eggs,
Not different from the rest.
But for every dark cloud,
With the cute silver lining,
There is a thunderbolt lying.
A strike-force of lightning.
Yes indeed it is frightening.
We start out so cute,
But look at us now.
The shifting colors of gray.
Oh blessed is the day
We finally see a ray
Of bright sunlight
A final blast,
To wake up to at night.
From my viewpoint,
The brightness consumes.
Pierces through,
Darkness doesn't always bring gloom.

The ending, the ending,
It is coming too soon.
Try to close the door
As you enter the room.
Keep the cold out,
Out side is where it belongs.
It is warm in here.
An Arabic word:
Salaam.
