work, my man, work.
the vacation is over.
now is the time to move.
do not be fooled
by the lovely landscape
mesmerizing your eyes now
thinly veiled behind it
is a tragedy waiting
unless you work.

Deadline
Tag: hope
Clinch
hang in there,
even as the day slips by
through your tight grip
survive the day as best as you can.
hopefully there will be a day to recuperate
once you have your chance,
pounce on it.
until then,
hold on.

Embrace
embrace your faults
leverage it.
if you turn around your faults
you’ll start to see its usefulness.
embrace the good and bad:
they are all yours.
pivot, negotiate, and explain.
if all does not go well,
it’s alright.
at least you know you tried.
even if the whole world is against you,
you will know that about yourself.
keep trying.
it’s not over ‘till it’s over.

Donation
sometimes make time for giving.
it’s a world to live in together.
giving make a room for breathing.
who knows
today’s loss can be tomorrow’s gain.
stories of yesterday can bring you up.
smile. charge on.

Better
humbled at every moment
for my own room to grow
but I won’t dwell on my embarrassment.
I will keep my head even
looking forward to rising days
to take one step after another
and become a better man.

Feelings
once it is here,
the next, it is gone
the fleeting, ephemeral
yet quintessential element;
source of inspiration
for many.
I wish you a luck
to catch this while it lasts.

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.

Reach
I am stretching my arm
to write what I want to write
but there are other responsibilities.
I know I have kept you waiting
but hold on
I am almost there to make the reach.
In a few days, you’ll see.

Plan
remember what matters
remember moments when you swore
you would not make the same mistake again
remember how valuable this time is.
a plan will help you achieve what you value.
so please make a plan.

Line
there’s a line we all walk
it’s a line between being an animal and human.
neglect one-side over the other,
you’ll start noticing something is off.
I am holding onto values and principles I believe in,
and we will see at the end, if these were right.
until then, it’s a constant challenge,
a forceful evolution.
