come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
Can you forgive those who hurt you
because they thought the pain will do you good
but instead it has inflicted a lasting scar
whose roots reaches deepest core of your bones?
Them again,
have you ever hurt anyone
under the grand name of
“good intention”?

Forgive.
It hurts. It burns. It churns.
Move on. Don’t look back.
Focus on the now.
Ask for forgiveness.
Look towards the light.
Keep walking.
Keep the smile.

Son, forget this madness.
All this rage, bitterness, and brooding is getting you nowhere.
Hold on to the memories of love, grace, and gratitude.
Let go of hurt, disappointment, and loss.
Look at what remains and celebrate.
Release your pride, ego, and glory.
Find peace in humbleness.
Seek to create light in dark,
shelter to the lost,,
and warmth for the cold.

at first, I noticed a few things missing;
a little bit of food, a few notebooks,
and then a few photos.
I started to wonder if there was a bug;
a bug that gnaws at precious things.
I called an exterminator, but it didn’t stop.
I remembered: whatever you resist persists.
so I invited the bug to be a friend;
besides, there are a few people I call friends
and had spent much more dinners with them
than what I had lost to this bug.
if the bug will take what it will take regardless,
why not get to know the bug while at it?
forgive the ugly part, and move on with goods.

Everyone has their last shot
To shoot at someone
And everyone is pointing their target with their weapon at all times.
No one knows when it will trigger,
And no one knows when they’ll change their target.
Whether what comes out of their weapon is a teardrop, am innocent smile, or a sharp loaded question, no one knows.
You kneel and pray that you’ll come out of safe and sound.
But the rule is, everyone points to something at all the time.

Dance with your death,
For the end of your dance will come
Anyways, why not have some style?
Forgive your death,
When it steps on your foot,
Embodying torrents of pain
Respect your death,
For death makes your life precious,
Darkness that helps light stand out.
Till the end.
