A Life/Alive
Balance it in, balance it out
Like a scrutinous apothecary
Don’t lose your weights, don’t lose your minds.
Find the right dose, find the right pose,
Somebody is gonna help you carry
Don’t lose your faith in your fate
I found my friends, I found my place
It was right here all the time
I did not have to dig to deep,
But with bare hands and on my knees
I found my trends, I found my taste
I’m getting older and I start to feel alive for the first…
Shuffling the cards, rolling the dice
After all it’s just a thrilling game
How are the odds, how good the gods?
Breaking the ice,
Not knowing right from wrong nor good from evil
The efforts won’t be in vain.
I found my friends, I found my place
It was right here all the time
I did not have to dig to deep,
But with bare hands and on my knees
I found my trends, I found my taste
I’m almost 30 and I start to feel alive for the first time
Balance it in, balance it out
Break your chains and break the ice
Keep your feet on track, even while skating around
Chasing childhood dreams and teenage visions.
Never lose your faith in your fate.
- Pol Belardi, 2018

I'll Go
My limbs, they seem made of lead
when love shows it's ugly head.
Truths are shifting, I can't tell no more.
Between right, or wrong, I'm getting sore and dizzy.
What more, what more can I do?
Expectations, high like the skies.
Can't get anything in return, so here's the deal:
I go
Into the dark I'll go
Into the lights I'll go
Into the unknown future I'll go
But this time it's without you
Into my fate I'll go
Into my blessing, I'll go
Into the void, I'll go
But this time it's without you

Cold
This house has once been a home to us
But now every room just feels cold
The walls still telling stories of
Those days love would never get old
Your voice, the sound of a dream I had
But now I can hardly recall
And time has brought so much space between
These rooms can’t break down the walls inside of me
Your lips move, I don’t understand
The air is filled with the things unsaid
The rain falls onto your face
I wish I could offer you a phrase,
So you don’t have to feel so sad
This house has once been a home to us
But now every room just feels cold
This place once used to shelter us
But now all our stories are told
- Mara Minjoli, 2017

I Am
It's getting out of control,
My clock is ticking much faster than I can bear
How did I get to this point,
how do I tackle this unexpected events
I'm letting go of my role
the sounds are passing much faster than, I can hear
In this repetitive life,
it's getting harder to strive
for anything but the gold
but I walk this crooked road
just like I am
and I will shout out
how I am
I sip my tea
the way I am
and I don't care
about your stare
since I will not give a darn about your thoughts
because I am
all on my own now
here I am
and I feel good
Since I am, I'll be, I'll have been my own guide
