let us build our own strength
enough to support the others
when the time comes
be ready to be there for them.
it will mean a lot
both for you and them.

Authentic
let us have a grain of courage
to be who we truly are.
instead of polishing our iron shields
spread out our hands to the world
embrace, and not become bitter.
if we do, perhaps we will finally have
our true selves.

Share
love cannot be contained
it spreads throughout the world
but your actions can be contained
and your words can carry responsibility.
know the consequences of your actions,
but don’t be too intimidated by it.
grow with your appreciation.
you will get there.

Brighter
let us look into ourselves,
find our colors,
and shine in our own ways.
there’s no fool proofs,
but I’d like to believe
we will get there
shining brightly in the sky
if we all put in our best.

Appreciate
in hard times,
I appreciate the good memories.
in good times,
I appreciate all those who have helped me.
when the world is wrapped in gold,
I appreciate the moment,
when it dissipates into darkness,
I am grateful for the opportunity.
I can only describe what I have felt,
for I am also seeking the truth.

Connect
it’s been too long
to be able to connect
and not worry about
what other people think.
the comfort it gives me
is what I am grateful for.

Beginning
when do we notice
we have changed?
our perspectives,
our body,
and our memories change.
what do we hold onto
and what do we let go of?
when do we notice
we have made the decisions?

Gratitude
I am grateful
to see the crisp sunlight
descending onto my skin.
I am grateful
to all those fleeting moments
I shared with people
who have tought me
what it is like to live and love.

Self
I may not be as selfless as I thought.
I may not be as virtuous as I thought.
but that is okay.
it’s better to acknowledge it
and accept it in others too
than to sit and point fingers at people
for failing to live up to the virtues.
strive for what you want,
and if what you want is virtue
that is okay too.

Grip
hold on
even as the world rolls
when everything shakes
your soul will remember
you have survived.
for this too shall pass,
hold on.
it will be worthwhile waiting.
