come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
perhaps I had been blind
to my own faults.
once I stepped out of my problems,
I started to see.
grateful for those who informed me
guilt arises for causing a fuss.
hopefully, one day, all will be okay.
don’t run away when things get hard.
sleep on it, eat and drink, and exercise.

at times, life’s too short to play safe
unlock your potential
and be your true self.
room to roam and roar with freedom
may go a far way for your health
as long as no one is hurt, give it a try
you won’t regret it.

it’s been a long walk.
And the end is no where in sight.
I stare at the stars,
and feel where the direction is.
it’s a very long walk,
but I hope to get there one day.
and along the way,
hopefully I will meet people
who will share my journey with me.
it’s this way of walk
that I have to follow.

it’s a dream, in a way, you know,
no matter what may be going on around you,
you keep staring at the star in the dark night.
in the top floor of a high rise,
through window bars of a basement,
in the middle of cemetery,
or amongst ocean of people at a party,
you keep staring at the star in the dark night.
it’s okay if you lose the ground
it’s okay if the tower falls down.
keep staring at the star
and make a wish upon it from your heart.

when I walk on the street,
I like to stare at apartment windows.
once in awhile, I’ll catch an eye contact
with a bored resident looking down
they will jump and hide themselves.
it’s kind of funny,
how an unsuspecting connection
can be so surprising.
just to let them know they are not alone,
I like to stare at apartment windows
when I walk on the street.

it’s an everlasting walk
do not hold to your hubris,
that your win will ast longer
just ride the tide
before you realize,
stars and suns would have passed
and your paths may live vividly an enthusiastic

I held on to the ghost of past for too long
all the grind, sacrifices, and promises
I made them reasons to keep the shells
insulated from ever-changing world
and digging deeper in a juggernaut suit.
but perhaps it’s not too late to try new.
perhaps that’s where the glory comes from.
perhaps it is in letting go it becomes great.
and maybe, all those who sacrificed,
who made the promises
wanted to me to let them go too.
I will remember them
and I will move on.

I wanted to let the tears flow.
I bit the tip of my tongue with my teeth,
yet I did not cry.
then I remembered how unfair it was
that what I know now is unknown to my past
I stared at my youthful, naive self crumbling
as the inevitable lances fell from above
I spoke, out of pain, but no voice let out
instead, thick drops of tears fell down.

it feels funny
when you tread on an uncharted territory
every step wobbles
and I cannot tell if it is good or bad
so far, I’ve been loving it.
risk reminds you are alive
until you crash and cry and think again.
let us fly.
let are wobble propel us forward and beyond
let us reach out to our destiny.
4.11.2023
it’s silly to be serious,
but let’s get serious about being silly.
let us explore the world without prejudice
let us roll around and jump around
exploring the world as it is.
let us find happiness in our story
and rejoice in small delights
one by one, it will make the world brighter.
