fellow, Can a fellow tell a fellow What a fellow means?”

MY OWN POET
WHO AM I?
I am woman, With a personality like a man
I am frank , I never been drunk, I love singing
I like eating and I am happy.
I never been in bars
Never ride on a fast car , I love color black
I am not sensitive in any clue
I am childish, and I hope it will vanish.
3. But who am I really deep down inside?
Am I only covering my other side?
Even me , I can hardly see
who am I supposed to be?
I am lost in nowhere, Get me out of here
Help me find myself if you care
Would you dare to take me out of this nightmare?
I am wondering in a netted direction
Without knowing my final destination
I used to think that I know myself well.
But how I can no longer dwell, this shadow
taking up my place, "tell me who I am right in
front of my face,"?
MY OWNPOET
"WHEN I SEE YOU SMILE AT ME"
I wonderhowcould I evermakeit this far
Without youis likehaving an everlasting war
Sometimes it seems the worldswrappingup on me
And the only wayout is whenyou rachfor me
4. There's nothingin this battleyou couldnot do
What is in yourhand I oughtto know
Whenthe bulletsstrikes and make my heartbleed
you'relikea drughavinga dosethatwillfix me indeed
Sometimes I want to giveup, and juzt quitthe fight
But whenI see you, feelslikeeverythings alright
Now I know that I can do anythingso easy
Babby whenI see you smileat me.
"Promise Land"
"Wheream I?"
"Is this the realworld?"
A lot of things areon my mind. I may be young and innocent,

plentyfor everybody.
The water is not blue as it was.
The air we breathis not healthy anymore.
The forest that usedto be rich andfull,nowhere to be seen.
