I wanna run
I wanna learn
Wanna grow old with you, oh
I wanna see
I wanna see me happy (Umi x Happy Again)

"Every colored person ain't dumb and all whites not racist
I be judging by the mind and heart, I ain't really into faces"

I love this quote from "The Bigger Picture" by Lil Baby; it's not my favourite lyric but it's one that resonates with my thoughts with respect to the recent news. Thank you for sharing!

"I'm on the wrong side of heaven and the righteous side of hell"

"I loved you in secret. First sight, yeah, we love without reason." - Taylor Swift

"I Wonder by Rumi" I wonder from these thousand of “me’s”, which one am I? Listen to my cry, do not drown my voice I am completely filled with the thought of you. Don’t lay broken glass on my path I will crush it into dust. I am nothing, just a mirror in the palm of your hand, reflecting your kindness, your sadness, your anger. If you were a blade of grass or a tiny flower I will pitch my tent in your shadow. Only your presence revives my withered heart. You are the candle that lights the whole world and I am an empty vessel for your light.

There are two that are tied equally in my mind and heart, so I'll post them both if that's okay. (^///^)

A) This part of the song "Find Me" by Aviators.

I never asked to walk the road alone

But someday, I'll make it home.

Don't let the lifeline disappear

To guide me back when hope is near.

Promise a future I can come back to,

When now, all I have is you.

I'll follow all the signs

Across a thousand years in time.

B) The bridge of the song "Incandescent" by Aviators.

Spent years waiting for the time

I'd come to see the truth behind

The darkness that we face in our own lives.

Cast aside your fear;

We're strong in numbers,

Holding back a fate

Of endless slumber.

I want to stay to keep you strong.

Side by side is where we belong.

Thanks for the discussion!

Hello there! I love that book so much! You picked out such a beautiful and strengthening poem. Thank you for sharing that with us! ❤

"As you go on your way

with one foot in front of the other

you'll see all sorts of things

Maybe some mountains

a handful of sunsets

maybe even a shooting star

or a raging storm

You will have moments

where you might feel alone

and spend days and nights

just wanting to come home

But for all the adventures that you seek

and the roads between

just remember to follow your footsteps

each day

week by week"

- Courtney Peppernell, The Road Between.

Whenever I feel far from home

Facing the world on my own

You are the calm in my storm

You are the light that's guiding me

The only one I see

The only one I need

You're my gravity

“Little too close to my parents, not that good at sharing”

“Not gonna blame being a lonely child in my being an only child, but who blames an only child for being lonely”

“As you can see I’m a handful, not easy to handle”

all these quotes are super relatable to me. And their from the song (L)Only Child by Salem Ilese
