keep feeling the waters,
sometimes you’ll sink
other times you will float.
dark water beneath
who knows how far they go.
you won’t know your remebedy
but it’s already been in my areas.
I hope you get to the certifcarion.

Evolution
like an amoeba staring at a bird,
like a dog running after a car,
I chase after a beaten path.
yes, I know I am ashamed
and part of my drive to ignore this shame
moves me when I am the most tired.
a sun shined once, very briefly.
and I learned in that priceless moment
that you must choose to live for yourself.
and the rest of the world will follow.

Miracle
every day, I am hoping,
wishing for a miracle.
in the ocean of sand grains,
I yearn to become the one.
one that is picked up,
one who is loved,
one who knows the truth.
saved from calamities.
then I saw the sun.
ever-shining sun.
it was beautiful.
I am immersed in
its repetitive motions,
and all of its colors.
And so did a smile
on my lips
as I woke up again
in the morning.

Slide
It’s the moment between two worlds:
a world naked to the sun that cleanses
a world enveloped in morphing darkness.
as if you opened your eyes halfway,
murky dusk seeps in from the shadows,
instilling nostalgia for the past in the present.
you can choose to stay awake and refuse,
or you can imbue yourself with this melody
for a brief moment to soak your soul
in harmony between the past and present.

Cotton candy
I don’t know why
but you’ve been in my mind
like a sweet blue sky
shining in my eyes
I am trying to keep my mind
from reaching that high
but like a cotton candy that fly
high into summer sky
my eyes open too wide
with your smile.

80%
let’s go long than short.
it’s a marathon than a sprint.
the sun will rise again
and we’ll forget all the pain
but the results will remain
and we’ll want to gain
something more than yesterday
a stepping stone for a better day.
pack your patient when you can
believe you’ll be there in the end.

Energy
how is it that
some people read on and on
and never get tired
while there are those
who get tired in 1 hour?
is it the matter of principle?
is it the matter of intelligence?
nothing is in your way to become
like the person next to you,
but you write your own story.
so what will it be:
a story of bitterness
or one of fearlessness?

Reading
patiently, I read.
faithfully screening
line after line,
I glided through
the white plane
in silence,
the quintessential
truth of all.
when the line ended,
a new worm crawled,
and the idea was born.

Residues
when you let the world sink in as it is,
and do not look away from it,
feeling all of its colors, smells, and textures,
you realize, it remains within you.
it leaves traces of itself
and marks residues symbolizing your growth.

Imagined
hold on to your dream
it will come true.
it may be tough now
all will prevail somehow.
let go of your past
and face the world with your best
tomorrow will come
so will your hope to become.
