come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
haha!
there’s no one here
it’s darkness and emptiness all over
not a single light in sight
alright then
let me be the light
let me shine as bright as possible
no matter how short lived it may be.
let it reach the eyes of someone else
who might be here
thousands of light years away from here
let them see the light
and give them hope
to carry on

like a soccer ball kicked around too much,
like a tree enduring harsh winters
like a pebble in an ocean, smoothed all over,
I stand here trying to get up again.
I squeezed my heart and let out a roar
yet expectations of my beloved don’t budge.
I am jumping over the mountains
and be sturdy as a lightening rod,
yet torrents of disappointments won’t stop.
I am sensing the light within me flickering
yet not know what to do.
I hold onto the mast as I hope for enlightenment.

when you realize
the wind is calling you to run faster,
but the mountain builds higher and higher,
when you see there are more rocks to climb
and yet, there are no rewards at the end,
only the punishment,
you sometimes need to stop and stare
at the little things that matter.
and remember to count the breaths
for they are the constant present
and the only thing you will have
until the moment you close your eyes.

even after you’ve done your best
odds may not favor you.
there are those you can control
and those you must admit you cannot control
even as the inevitable befalls onto you,
squirm.
keep squirming. keep your vision. keep rising again.
even if the world falls upon you
even if this may be the end
you’ll know you have done your best.
keep squirming.
inevitably, the odds may favor you one day.

somehow
when I raised my head
and saw the time
5 hours had passed by.
I looked down again,
and went back into the fray.
it’s chaotic, but it’s a good work.
I’ve put in my best,
and at times I have lost,
but I am not regretful of it.
I am glad I put in my best
and tomorrow, I will do it again.

either find yourself as a fool,
riding a rollercoaster
mixed with revelations and disappointments,
or get enough sleep.
it will go a long way,
pave the way for new possibilities.
good luck.

keep going.
but make sure to remember
you must stop
when the time comes.
but for now,
like a fire hungry for more,
like a whirlwind evermore,
keep going.

somewhere a flake of white snow fell
it touched upon my heart and melted
I could not tell if it was my heart or the snow
Its curious eyes stared into my soul
I could only reply in bare honesty.
I hope to tell my life story
all of its flaws and meanings
and I want to listen to it
where it came from
and what it has seen.
it would be a good long night
listening to stories.

it appears I wanted to much?
what do you call this?
this bright little thing
a silver thread
that slips through your fingers
and disappears into darkness.
is it called hope?
it lingered on my finger tips awhile.
well, I deeply appreciated it while it lasted.
now, the darkness engulfs this sphere.
it’s another time to take a deep, long dive
into the darkness.
I wish to see it again,
that bright silver lining.

blood is rushing
we are running
it feels right
yet it’s too tight
the gap between human and animal
don’t become too primal.
