Shandée - Deleting the Past

As I scroll through pictures of days gone by,
I see friends and family, some no longer nearby.
We once shared laughter and memories bright,
But now, we've each taken a different path in life.

Opening this Pandora’s box of the past,
A flood of memories hits me fast.
Deleting pictures, one by one,
Of people and moments that are now gone.

Videos of parties, where I tried to fit in,
Now I see they never truly let me in.
Deleting dreams I once held so high,
Realizing those fires no longer need to ignite.

Poems I wrote, so mature for my age,
Reflect a life that has turned the page.
Activating an account I thought was closed,
A reminder of how time flows and grows.

Some have left us, leaving tears behind,
Others drifted away, though we still try
To hold on to moments we once shared—
Yet, sometimes, it's best to clear the air.

Deleting the past may feel like a chore,
But it creates space for something more.
A new chapter begins, unwritten and true,
With lessons learned, both old and new.

So goodbye to the past, and hello to what's near,
An unwritten future, open and clear.
The irony of erasing what once brought joy—
A metaphor of becoming, like a butterfly's ploy.

 

Shandée - Melodies of Love

Who needs their love or sympathy? When I have you, my sweet melody. Approval from them is just a game, With you, I'm free from their cruel shame.

Their memories haunt me no more, Your love is all I need to adore. I've learned to love myself, it's true, And that's when I fell in love with you.

You're the light that guides me through the night, With you, everything feels just right. But even if you leave someday, I'll be okay, my heart will stay.

For I've found the love I need, With you, my soul is freed. So let them judge and let them stare, With you, my love, I have no fear.

Shandée - Jealous Heart

Did anyone ever tell you that you're a queen?
That you can do whatever you please?
Well, let me be honest with you,
Your actions have consequences, too.

You speak with sharp words,
Hurting others with your insults,
You think you're above everyone else,
But that arrogance will bring you down.

Your jealousy eats away at peace,
It poisons everything around you,
You can't stand to see others happy,
Their joy seems to bother you.

But here’s the truth:
Happiness isn’t found in spreading fear,
Your bitter heart won't heal,
Until you learn to love and care.

So listen closely,
Don’t let your pride lead you astray,
Treat others with kindness,
And you'll find love that’s true and pure.
