Pretty swallow, will you fly?
Spread your wings to reach the sky
Will you soar above this smog?
The lights will lead you from the fog
Pretty swallow, will you sing?
Happiness your melodies bring
Will you entrance with a tune?
When the sun hits high noon
Pretty swallow, will you fight?
As the stars lose their light
Will you leave your city fair?
When the kites fly nowhere
Pretty swallow, will you fall?
You're the hope of us all
Will you keep our dreams on clouds?
If we can't speak them aloud
Pretty swallow, will you fly?
Spread your wings and say goodbye.
I'm sorry I'm not perfect
I'm sorry I can only try
But it hurts when you get angry
And you don't say why
You look at me in tears
Sometimes you almost shout

I want nothing more than to see you smile
I just want to help
And believe me
I'll be here a while
When you cry
My eyes tear at the seams
When you're sad
Rain clouds haunt my dreams
But when you laugh or smile
My lips curl up too
You still just make me so happy, I only wish I could express
How much I still love you.

I'm afraid my voice is getting weak.
My screams and sounds are growing quiet;
I need those pills; I'm growing tired...
Without them I'm colourless, just an empty face
Oh no, oh no, I'm in a dirty place...
I don't know how and I don't know why;
But it's just so hard to say goodbye.
When you need a feeling, when you need a high;
It's really easy to tell the lie:
'I'm fine, I'm fine, it's just a trial!'
But you can't hear, your o
Everything seems to be so expensive now. There always seems to be a new reason for prices going up, Whether that’s due to the pandemic or war, Inflation these past years has been nuts. Gas prices are more insane than ever. It kind of makes you wonder if it’s even worth getting a car. I guess for now I’ll just stick with the bus. Groceries are also quite expensive. No wonder those with low incomes often go hungry. It is too bad people need food to live. Think of all the money one could save if one didn’t have eat. People being evicted from apartments and rental homes Because landlords want to sell or increase the rent. I know people had been living in tents in the park Until the police came and shooed them away. Even my little corner of the country, Which has usually been considered one of the least expensive parts, Has now become unaffordable for many people. The housing market really went up during the pandemic, As people were moving from other parts of the country That were more
