come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
I see the apex now.
A couple days ago, the sky cleared.
I don’t know how,
but I appreciate all those
who stuck out with me.
It is the time to climb.
it has to be now and here.
let us not look back
but focus on this moment today
and keep the apex in sight.

note for my future self:
don’t forget me —
because through thick of thins things
such as cheap gossip, shows, and movies,
you will forget important things.
even the things you swore you’ll never forget
because it’s easy to get tired.
know that you survived the hellish places;
it’s a proof you can do it; whatever it is you want.
believe in yourself,
remember to lead yourself,
and be responsible.

I am rooting for you;
all the hardship is for you to grow.
it is okay to be sad, lonely, and despair.
just hold on.
hold on!
tomorrow’s gonna be alright.
if not, the one after that will be.
it’ll all be worthwhile.

it’s raining all over
the ever blue sky is dark and angry
when will the sun come out I wonder
sturdy ground has become murky
but I will look up
I will choose to grow
please don’t give up
smile is what I will sow

it’s beyond wealth,
power, and fame.
the thrill of a puzzle
strategized and solved
riddles beyond paradigms
a reality within a reality.

if you feel the boiling anger
in every fiber of your muscle
smile. and forget about them all.
let’s instead stay curious
a solution to this complicated problem
may lie just in front of our eyes
if we can just have a laugh
and look at it again.

it’s like walking on a desert
waiting for the rain to fall
because there’s a cloud over
the head, but it does not at all
your body is drying up quickly
yet you continue this stubbornly hopeful
walk, and you just wait for that delicacy,
a long-waited salvage beyond the doubtful
yet when the sunsets
and a drop of a bird’s dung
splashes you of its ugly end
do not be bitter, but sing a song
the song of the hunger
the song of the adventurer
the song of the survivor.

it didn’t matter then,
but I see it matters now;
just how important a simple thing as
being at ease can be.
as if we had all we needed,
as if we were the only ones in the universe,
as if nothing but just this moment existed,
I remember the soft smile.
as I see the grey sky above,
as I wake up again,
I try to remember
to bring such ease to others.
6.14.2023
the moment you have realized
you have far way to go to catch up
the race has started when you internalize
all the work you did does not match up
to your expected level of competency
for other to rely on you completely
it’s alright. take a deep breath.
one day at a time. all are within your reach
6.13.2023
I stared at the sky
and wondered why
we all are fighting over another
when we can enjoy this calm together
I ran whenever I felt I wanted to
but I see others’ glares in whatever I do
regardless, I keep facing to the rhythm
singing along with what I believe in
