come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
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.

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.

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.

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.

our eyes met.
our ears opened.
and our minds drifted
through multiple paradigms.
as we walked the journey,
many of us felt it:
we are the one.
may us remember this
may us meet again.

everyone was busy covering themselves.
no one knew what is right or wrong.
we sensed the moment
and grasped at whatever we felt
was a hand of salvage.
there were comrades who saved us,
and those of us who sought to severe the tie
with a sharp little teeth
glistening as they smile.
in the end, we remembered those who saved us.
those who we helped,
and appreciate the fondness we have for each other.

mysteriously,
it’s not about how smart you are.
it’s about how long you can hold on
in spite of all the shit being thrown at you.
having low expectations,
and having high hopes,
one day at a time
we make a progress
no one has dreamed of.

when I was a teenager,
I thought I’d be mightier when I get older.
Now I see the macho facade was
something those adults desperately needed
just to keep up with
what’s being demanded of them
from the society to protect what they loved.
I see now
what I loved used to protect me as a child.
as an adult, it is my turn
to protect what I love.
a heart that has been through years
of loving, fights, and endured them all
will know when is the right time to move.
we all become a fool in front of an attraction
but a soul that has been through it all
will know what lies ahead.
I pray that I make a wise decision
and proceed with caution.

I start to see that when you endure,
all the challenges will become your strengths.
if you run away,
they will haunt you for the remaining days.
some are very scary.
some are deeply hurtful.
so remember that you are not alone.
you must seek company.
and then endure the hardship.
it may not make sense now,
but it will once you’ve overcome it.
