who would’ve known
the brewing history beneath
friendly facade shown
makes onerous headache
judge wisely
your friends and foe
they lie at the doorsteps

History
Category: Poetry
Reason
can we try it?
to live without a guilt
oozing from lackadaisical lull
and to tighten the time to equip
every second by staying awake
filling with diligence in case
we look back with keen eyes
and see it with respect and wise
all of the shortcoming and rise
withstanding all and aim for the prize
Real
let go of ‘what could be’
focus on ‘what is’
do not let your heart be moved
by flashy titles and roles
take another swing of your pick
at the mountain
your way is in front of you
and your way there.
walk the walk.
you’ll be fine.

Living
when a chain of actions are planned ahead
less there is to worry or to hurry
if there are unexpected problems, instead
implore your inner strengths and carry
yourself with delight and awe
for solution to all will come to you in flash

Move
think for 10 min
plan
then move.
no need for worries.
just move,
and let the world reveal.

Cognizant
perhaps I had been blind
to my own faults.
once I stepped out of my problems,
I started to see.
grateful for those who informed me
guilt arises for causing a fuss.
hopefully, one day, all will be okay.
don’t run away when things get hard.
sleep on it, eat and drink, and exercise.

Unlock
at times, life’s too short to play safe
unlock your potential
and be your true self.
room to roam and roar with freedom
may go a far way for your health
as long as no one is hurt, give it a try
you won’t regret it.

Way
it’s been a long walk.
And the end is no where in sight.
I stare at the stars,
and feel where the direction is.
it’s a very long walk,
but I hope to get there one day.
and along the way,
hopefully I will meet people
who will share my journey with me.
it’s this way of walk
that I have to follow.

Star
it’s a dream, in a way, you know,
no matter what may be going on around you,
you keep staring at the star in the dark night.
in the top floor of a high rise,
through window bars of a basement,
in the middle of cemetery,
or amongst ocean of people at a party,
you keep staring at the star in the dark night.
it’s okay if you lose the ground
it’s okay if the tower falls down.
keep staring at the star
and make a wish upon it from your heart.

Window
when I walk on the street,
I like to stare at apartment windows.
once in awhile, I’ll catch an eye contact
with a bored resident looking down
they will jump and hide themselves.
it’s kind of funny,
how an unsuspecting connection
can be so surprising.
just to let them know they are not alone,
I like to stare at apartment windows
when I walk on the street.
