Dubrovnik, Croatie

~I should be living the dream,

But I'm living with a security team,

And that ain't gonna change, no,

I got a paranoia in me.

And you wouldn't believe,

Everything that I've seen, no,

Coming apart at the seams,

And no one around me knows,

Who I am, what I'm on,

Who I've hurt and where they've gone,

I know that I've done some wrong,

But I'm trying to make it right.

To the one I love, bring me round,

Get me out, right now.

And know that I love you, but,

I'm still learning,

To love myself (to love my, to love my, to love my),

I'm still learning to love myself (to love my, to love my, to love my),

I should be living the dream,

But I go home and I got no self-esteem (nope),

You think I'm swimming in green, but,

It's passed around my family tree.

No man wants to really commit,

Intimidated 'cause I get paid and shit,

In the crowd you're reading my lips, but,

No one around me knows,

Who I am, what I'm on,

Who I've hurt and where they've gone,

I know that I've done some wrong,

But I'm trying to make it right,

The same mistakes, on and on,

To all my friends, I'm sorry for,

And know that I love you but,

I'm still learning to love myself (to love my, to love my, to love my)

I'm still learning to love myself (to love my, to love my, to love my)

Oh, I try and I try,

To remember sometimes,

If I breathe, it's alright,

But some things don't change,

I'm still learning to love myself (to love my, to love my, to love my),

Who I am, what I'm on,

Who I've hurt and where they've gone,

I know that I've done some wrong,

But I'm trying to make it right.

To the one I love, bring me round,

Get me out, right now

(And the ones I love),

I'm still learning to love myself (to love my, to love my, to love my),

I'm still learning to love myself (to love my, to love my, to love my),

Oh, I try and I try,

To remember sometimes,

If I breathe, it's alright,

But some things don't change,

I'm still learning to love myself.

Painting, a child learning to ride a bicycle by M Ananthan

to take pictures with little light.

My ma, 'the poet', who is the litle girl on the left, also wrote this poem:

Learning Time

Old stone wall giant in height

A two year old holds tight to the hand in sight

Swarms of Green with kaleidoscope heads held high

Holding breath what's at the end of the adventure of night.

Peeping and plodding along, around the curving path, not sure what's to be

Oh a mass of Green not a disappointment to see

A gentle hand on it pulls tight, not just a bunch of Green but a smell of delight.

A voice of knowledge now explains nature's way

The bunch preciously held is on its way

Mint in the making for lunch it will be

And a two year old has learnt something else for free.

This little bird just flopped down in the grass ready for take off.

A baby Sandhill Crane walks with his mother learning as he goes. Stopping to feed when she does and being too young to fly, trying to keep up as best as he can.

A soul in tension that's learning to fly

Condition grounded but determined to try

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies

Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I...
