I need sleep
yet the dream
keeps me awake.
yet I know:
keep your head cool
as your heart heats up

Judge
instinctively,
my jaws tighten,
my fists clench,
my thoughts start racing.
as if to push a racing train to a halt,
I tell myself:
I am not the one to judge.
yet the screeching animosity does not stop,
rather slowly pressurize for an explosion.
if humans are not perfect,
why strive for such perfection?
I’d like to know I did the right thing
and live and love without regret.

Try
give it a try
you won’t know what you wanted
unless you give it a try
once you open your eyes
once you break through your fear
you will start to breath
life of your dreams.

Connections
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.

Heart
as the front runner said,
“you gotta follow your heart.”
even if it is to stick your head
into the mouth of a tiger,
if you go with your full heart
you won’t regret it.
if you do anything half-hearted,
that’s when you will see yourself
languishing in eternity.
follow your heart.
accept this path.

Dream
For those who dare to dream of a noble cause,
We applaud and support them.
Because it takes money to dream,
we continually work
and weave our dreams.
For those who work
every waking moment,
confidence builds.
For those who prepare for the moment,
the lightning shall be caught.
So now, let’s build.
I want to build my own story.

Beginning
staring into the dot,
I saw only the dot.
the more I stared at it though,
I started to see something else.
I started to appreciate how it stays here
when it could have been anywhere.
I appreciate how it encompasses opposite
of blankness.
I appreciate how we all are eventually
a dot, like itself, when seen from far, far away.
I started to see the world, the life, all encompassed.
I appreciated the dot.

Explore
it’s a vast world,
and there’s so much to explore.
of course there’s daily chore,
but nothing comes with out a cost, of course.
hold on to your dream
we’ll cherish this all in the end.
