Berliner Migrantin Poetin

Irgendwann bin ich aufgewacht

Und konnte ganz gut dichten

Laut einigen Berichten

Und in dessen Anbetracht...

Schrieb is alles nieder

Fand mich jetzt nicht soo schlecht

Auch wenn fern von Tucholsky oder Brecht

Ich bin eben ein Berliner.

1990 bin ich hier geboren

Im Hintergrund aus migrantischen Hause

Hab kein' Berliner Schnauze

Und hier keine nahen Verwandten.

In der Schule las ich Pflichtlektüre

Doch beendete nur den Thomas Mann

Vertiefte mich nicht genug in Goethe

Sodass man mein' Ausdruck respektieren kann.

Doch Schreiben ist meiner Seele Spiegel

Wenn auch meine Augen es zu verstecken mögen

So arbeite ich an meinem Durchhaltevermögen

Und lasse meine Texte nicht mehr liegen.

A long time (2017)

CHORUS

Why does it take such a long time
to understand their point of view
Why does it take such a long time
to get by that and make it through

1.

I never knew how much I was loved
By the way they took me down every day
In spite of all the daze I hoped
that the day will come when they have to pay

2.

My little mark upon my neck
goes hand in hand with my shattered heart
I try real hard to stay on my track
though the arrow hit me like in a game of dart

3.

By the very end of every year
We think of each other and you call me up
But you don't know a thing about my fear
So I ask you please to stop

Reality (2018)

Hanging in there
Ending up where
you're away from reality

Deep inside
the eyes to heaven
gates are open the answer is given

It's not so easy
to leave the country
there is no cover
above the tower

Deep inside the eyes of heaven
Deep deep down
deep deep down
Lay those emotions around
come around
come around

Feel the way
to understand
Something
too big
to mend

Arrmando (2017)

I made flower bouquets
as he walked by
how can he be unseen
I call him Armando

The man is a drunkard
I guess he has a wife
who loves him more then he does
I call him Armando

He looks like he has given up
he doesn't need to even try
the young girls of this ghost town
have a mindset different from his
but I am not a part of this thing
I would give for him my everything, Armando.

Nicht aus Lebkuchen
Durch Verschleiß
