幾米

人不是魚,怎會了解魚的憂愁。
魚不是鳥,怎會了解鳥的快樂。
鳥不是人,怎會了解人的荒唐。
人不是鳥,怎會了解鳥的自由。
鳥不是魚,怎會了解魚的深沉。
魚不是人,怎會了解人的幼稚。
你不是我,怎會了解我。

Maybe

Dedicated.. To a close friend.

Maybe

As I walked through this door
I heard not one sound in the house
I thought maybe I’d get away tonight
Without worrying where to hide

But I was wrong...
As I walk down this hallway
As glad as I could be
As I opened the kitchen door
You loudly popped out at me

Yells went around, hits got thrown
One of us was standing
And one of us was down

I don’t say anything
I just lay here crying
To weak to even speak
Waiting for daddy to come home
But he’s not.
So while you’re hitting me
I’m thinking...

Maybe it’s to teach me a lesson
Maybe to show me the pain you feel
Or maybe because you’re too heartless to realize

So as I hold my breath
Wishing to fade away
I know you did this for a reason
That maybe I’ll understand someday

But until then mommy
As you fight me
To only see me not fighting back
I hope you learn
that abusiveness..
Can only make you lose everything
That ever tried to love you

So maybe mommy
As you’re standing
Over my casket
You're thinking
Maybe I shouldn’t have..

But I’ll never know
What you think mommy.
So coming from your little girl
I forgive.
