THE ANTHEM OF LIFE
At first time I remember people laughing at me
is when I told my friends what I wanted to be.
Back then, I was four years old only
and this is what my mother told me.
“You don´t have to be like everyone else,
so live your life the way YOU want.
Go to the mirror, look at yourself
and see you weren´t made to fir the world.”
So now that I´m much wiser and older,
I don things the way I want to.
“Til the day my heart stops beating and my skin gets colder,
I won´t let them tell me: “You should be like us too!”
Don´t listen to the voices of others,
Only to your own
Because it´s up to your to decide
Upon which path you´ll go.
So when everything´s good, then I am the bad.
When everything´s happy, then I am the sad.
When everything´s right, then I am the wrong.
When everything´s weak, then I am the strong.
When everything´s black, then I am the white.
And when the day comes, then I am the night.
And despite the crazy way I live,
I welcome EVERYTHING life has to give.

THE ANTHEM OF LIFE
You didn´t realize
Since the day you opened your eyes.
The world was pink, the world was kind.
You didn´t realize.
You had everything, love and smile on your face.
But why?
Because you couldn´t think, you couldn´t lie.
You didn´t realize.
You met new people and tried.
Who would play with you to the weather stormy.
And by years.
Who would follow your steps to your life journey.
You didn´t realize.
You had your friends and you had your family.
That´s all, you will ever in your life need.
To be happy.
To just breath.
You didn´t realize.
There were so shadow places, the sun was sparkly shining.
You didn´t realize.
That the world was held in your arms.
Until you lost her.
You watched her suffer.
You saw her die,
but all could you do,
was sit close by.
She went away.
You had to part.
Good eased her pain.
but broke your heart.
Wow, it was so much different.
You wanted to meet her so bad.
Even if it makes anyone who you loved broken so much.
It seemed so easy, right?
Just give up.
Take a walk on rails at the red light.
You didn´t realize.
Sometimes you wonder
That she´s here bud no one can see her,
You didn´t realize.
You have to go and find your fortune again.
Stand up and run!
Don´t ask, don´t blame.
You didn´t realize.
Well…
I didn´t realize.
That I had it, the love, the luck, there wasn´t black.
In one second it was all gone.
And I don´t know, if I will ever get it back.
That´s not the end because I still didn´t win my price.
It´s not over, mine and yours life.
I realized.

THE ANTHEM OF LIFE
Under the Moon I wonder.
why is life so hard sometimes?
Why is my head going under,
the water is a killer in disguise.
My hands are fisted in silent fury,
what have I done to deserve this?
Who will bring me back
when my eyes are blurry?
maybe with just a little kiss.
It´s hard to put it into words,
how difficult is staying sane
if I don´t erase my faults,
will they ever see me the same?
People judge when you are different,
“Why do you look like a freak?”
They don´t see the beauty in difference,
Let them think what they think.
There will be days, when it gets harder,
your lungs can´t get enough air.
But you have to push yourself further,
so you don´t feel any more pain.
If your legs are shaking,
so much, that you can´t stand
you are not weak,
when you ask for help.
But once when I will rise back up,
head held high, my back straight
I won´t let you mess me up
not when I have so much faith.

THE ATHEM OF LIFE
LIVE:
Spring, morning of our live
flowers start blooming
everything´s just fine
hoping, caring, believing
In summer, “Go out and have your fun”, they say
and then hunt you, call you useless
world starts falling apart
no idea what to do next
you´re only a teen, don´t know anything
but no-one can see how hard you try
life´s not meant to be perfect and fail less
look at the oceans, they also have hard days
look at the sky, and how hard it cries
look around yourself, find the special ness
magic, casual magic, like the starry nights
never forget about the oceans and skies
talk your time, scream, cry it out.
LOVE:
Love is all around, not only during Christmas
the old couple holding hands
cute notes on toilet doors
guy catching girl before falling
drawing pictures on foggy morning
first love in the kindergarden
first kiss on your cheeks and lips
parents supporting their kids
friends you can count on
no matter how though time´s going on
wanting love isn´t weakness
it´s stronger than 90´s trends.
LAUGH:
The autumn breeze and your laugh
oh darling, we have so much fun
colourful leaves falling down
our smile still goes on and on.
The warm weather´s gone
but I´m by your side
like I promised
always and forever.
The jokes not funny at all
the augh is in my bones
with your I´m not scared of drowning
´cause you´d catch me and make me laughing
again

THE ANTHEM OF LIFE
Everyone knows the wonderful feeling
of being loved or simply just being
utterly happy, and in that moment
not a complaint, not a single comment
comes to your troubled mind.
Last spring, when you swam in the pool
at your friend´s house, midnight air cool.
Your limbs almost froze, it didn´t matter,
´cause surrounding you, one could hear she chatter
of those who were so kind.
So kind to make you the happies alive,
on top of the world, finally alive.
I would say that´s the moments we live for,
´cause you are content, even if they pass or
if they´re too rare to find”.

ANTHEM OF LIFE
Oh, life, you miracle of all the living
you´re the freedom our mother Earth is giving
Thanks to you there is happiness
in places where there would be emptiness.
Oh, life, thanks to your birds can sing,
which is the most beautiful thing.
And kids can always run around,
among the flowers where peace is found.
Oh, life, thanks to you I am sitting there,
breathing in the precious air.
Thanks to you I can grab my pen,
and write this very short poem.
