EVERY NIGHT BEFORE I FALL ASLEEP
Every night before I fall asleep
I lay down in the grass,
I look up to the stars.
And I wonder.
I wonder if there's something
Out there that looks so
Strange as I feel.
Why do I feel like home when I look deep into the space?
It's like my body and soul
Both turn into stardust,
And my brain ascends and turns into light.

I DIDN'T SLEEP LAST NIGHT
I didn't sleep last night
'Cause I'd been reading old letters...
Thinking about those golden days.
And watching the white of my eyes going red.
No money in the world could buy back the moments we shared.
All the laughs.
All the tears.
Margarida Coelho SILVA , Portugal
I AM AFRAID
I am afraid.
Afraid of doing something wrong.
Afraid that if I say something,
You will be mad.
I'm afraid that, because I'm sad
I'll end up making you feel bad
The way I was afraid I would.
Margarida Coelho SILVA , Portugal
TEACH ME
Teach me.
Teach me how to see
The world in a different way.
Teach me to see myself
As you do everyday
I want to see your thoughts
Being made.
Your ideas being formed.
I want to know how you feel
When you lay down and think
Of what makes you want to live.
Margarida Coelho SILVA,Portugal
