now is the time we must face each other.
there will be disappointments,
surprises, and agreeableness.
remember to live this moment
as fleeting as it may be
with your fullest focus.

running
When you run,
Start slow.
And then pick it up bit by bit.
Slow down once in a while
But when you see your chance,
When you feel the stars are lining,
When you taste sweetness in the air,
Run as fast as you can
Squeezing every liquid out of your muscles
See the white flash in front of your eyes
When you are through
You will know
You have done it.
You have lived the best part of this run.

Belt
this morning,
as I put on my pants in my slumber,
I realized there’s no hole left in my belt;
I had tightened it to its maximum.
there must be a part of me I haven’t recognized.
how much about ourselves
are we letting them slip through our fingers?

Subconscious
I woke up in the middle of my sleep
because my lungs, gasping for air
as my throat growled with a cry.
I tried to remember what it was I cried for
but the dream had eloped into the darkness.
when I got up from my bed,
I felt a wet sympathy
and a desire to apologize
to my subconsciousness.

Bright
The sun was bright
there were kids on a lawn
joyfully running together.
it was a good day to run.
leaves were leaking warm colors
brisk air hit the lips and nostrils
as my feet launched from the ground.
after a blur of rush of sceneries,
I noticed a smile.
thankfully, it was warm.

Choice
it’s a choice about which future to choose.
my heart says one thing, and my head another.
I’ve tried going with my heart before.
especially when it comes down to choosing a person,
I learned the heart can be misleading.
with people, the answer arrives only too late.
I wonder if I am making the right choice.
I wonder if I can be comfortable in the future
with the choice.
I wonder if I can make a choice without the others’ influence.
we will see in the future.
we will once again,
be tested.

Everything
even if you know you will lose this fight,
give it your everything.
even if it is obvious the outcome will not change,
give it your everything
even if it means you will lose all you have,
give it your everything.
because life is lived but once
and we are given only one chance
how to live at this moment
here and now.
so give it your everything
into whatever you believe in.

Open-mind
try pushing your limit
you can do it.
believe in yourself.
it’s fairly simple.
it is now or never.
keep trying.
you will evolve
towards the direction
of your decisions.

Grow
there was a crack in this mundane world
a whole new world waited beyond the crack.
I witnessed marvelous creations.
some, just like my dream, others, beyond them.
like Harry Potter, I knew I belonged there.
it is the time to grow, to leap into the new world.

Strength
as my history follows me
I am swimming faster than ever.
words to soothe my worries melt away
as I yearn to be better than yesterday.
let my work be of help, a stepping stone.
for someone yearning to be better.
