it cannot be forced,
but slowly, smoothly, and shyly,
weaved into a strong fabric
via intricate rituals and ceremonies
warmth and resilience born from such
lasts a lifetime.

Habit
how do I stop watching YouTube?
it’s an invisible string
hooking my weakest points
wrapping them into an addiction.
how do I get out of this?

Stakes
perhaps this is how I work better
to feel the weight of the stakes on my skin
keeping the skin in the game
growing every day
it’s a way I chose to walk this path.

Middle road
knowledge is power
emotions may lift us
but knowledge can lead emotions
use your time wisely
and find the right key
to solve your riddles.

Enjoy
let us enjoy what is right
let us understand each other
honor each other’s work
maintain a humble attitude

Grow
endless growth
no time to rest
no time for self pity
but have a heart.
appreciate each step
cherish the sun.

Truth
who cares what others will see me as
let the truth be out in the world
and allow what may happen, happen.
I believe this is the right move.
I believe we are headed the right way.

Deadline
work, my man, work.
the vacation is over.
now is the time to move.
do not be fooled
by the lovely landscape
mesmerizing your eyes now
thinly veiled behind it
is a tragedy waiting
unless you work.

Wake up
under the blazing sun,
you slipped
falling into sticky places.
get up now
rise on up
and reach for higher places
with clearer mind.
wake up now

Clinch
hang in there,
even as the day slips by
through your tight grip
survive the day as best as you can.
hopefully there will be a day to recuperate
once you have your chance,
pounce on it.
until then,
hold on.
