			<title>Can this world be free?</title>
			<description>A very short poem, very quickly written, about my feelings here and now about all the darkness going on in this world.

No matter how dark it becomes, light will always be stronger, though :)</description>

			<title>Even from the blackest rose...</title>
			<description>Even from the blackest rose, white petals shall fall,when it understands the meaning of forgiveness.Even from the coldest ice, warm waves will shine,when it understands the meaning of unconditional love.The darkest forest is able to give birth to the brightest tree,if it is allowed to grow..</description>

			<title>Pure Despair</title>
			<description>I have never tried to commit suicide or even thought of doing it, so I cannot say how people who have done this felt before doing it.I can only write down my own feelings when everything seems dark, when it seems I never again shall find light</description>

			<title>All This Money</title>
			<description>I got inspired by Michal Jackson's situation. I don't say that he is or isn't guilty, this poem is just with thought in mind that what if a person who is innocent is accused?
Please only leave reviews about the actual poem, not about him :)</description>

			<title>I'm Not Ugly, I'm Me</title>
			<description>Just a song I created while recording into the mirror. I sang whatever came to me - as I also did with my two other lyrics here &quot;Where Am I?&quot; and &quot;Life Has Not Been Kind To Me.&quot; This song however is not supposed to be from a musical as the other two.</description>

			<title>Life Has Not Been Kind To Me</title>
			<description>This is supposed to be a song that could be in a musical. Perhaps the same musical as the song -Where Am I?- This poor young woman is in a state of depression, a heavy despair and a knowledge that things may never become better.</description>

			<title>Where Am I?</title>
			<description>It is supposed to be a song that could be in a musical, with a young woman who's very confused about this &quot;magic&quot; a man does to her. She does not like it, as she believes something terrible will happen if she gives into this.</description>
