01. WHEN I GO OFF TRACK
All the lights are low after the tour
The last song that I get to share with my faded voice.
Packing my things to leave the show
Who will I be tomorrow?
Voice is having more cracks than usual
Wearing plain shirts, pretty casual
That fuse in my eyes are no longer here
When no one's around, I'll be under your care.
When I go off the beat,
When I release a single note that's far from the tune
When I go off track and pretty old
One question is enough
"Will you be here to save the night?"
When my hands can't write a single lyric
As my smiles become all hesitated,
As the cheers for my name suddenly degrade
Will you remember me the better way?
Lights turned down as I sink here in the sand
People forget my songs, my voice and lost their fond
People love me until they find somebody else
Fulfilled enough before I rest.
Now kid don't screw up, yet plan to be remembered
Be a value for success is nothing in this world
Lights are temporary, doors may close
But to settle down with who you love is not a curse.
Who you share your last seconds matter
For your story ends with their farewell and your stutter.
Let me die in peace with him coz he made me live
A second life far from all the judgments and fears
Coz when I go off track, he still listened.

Words from the poet:
I used to fear what's going to happen in the future. Back when I was a kid, it became really hard for me to dream a certain profession due to the fact that I'm scared what's going to happen next after I achieved what I want to become. This is what this poem is about. I would like to shortly explain myself after each poem so I won't be misinterpreted or misunderstood and also for people to understand each poem.

MY POEM COLLECTION
PoetryI have a lot of poems on my drafts so I think it would be better to drop them here. I will divide them into different parts in which a part (probably consists 5-8 poems) is a whole universe, with its own characters, with its own coverage. Hope y'all...
