Shine like the brightest star at night
dark coldness stings,
but no matter what, shine:
smile, be kind, and love as best as you can
it’s okay if you tumble and fall
it will be brighter tomorrow.

String
there is a red string connecting us.
it’s light, thin, but resilient
it stretches and bends,
sometimes it’s hard to see if it is there
but I can feel it is there.
it’s the warm feeling.
I hope that you feel it too.
I believe that you feel it too.
hopefully, this will all work out.

Impermanence
life is short, in retrospect.
everything changes too,
contrary to expectations & wishes.
as people and places ebbs and webs,
sensing when is the time to let go
and when is the time to get a grip
is a serene balance.
may there be a courage to move forward
with faith in heart
hopefully leading to a peaceful night.

Liberty
to know you are truly free is a necessity
more than the boundaries of the body,
it is the boundary of the mind that hinders.
once we try — and fail — we recognize it
every day, we strive to be freer,
to experience who we truly are.

Accept
not all things go your way.
accept the difference
respect the boundaries,
and understand their perspectives.
who knows,
one day it will work out.

Be
be what you are
let the results fall
you’ve done all what could do
it’s nerve-wrecking
but in the name of love
what can we not do?
so be who you are
and may the world show you what it has

Tribute
remember those who helped you.
remember to pass along their love.
when you give, you are actually receiving.
stay focused on small things to be grateful of
hopefully, your effort will be seen.

Close
Survived the last round of dog fight
who knows what the future brings
rise again and fight
tomorrow is another judgment day.
remember to love
It will guide you the way

Fight
now is not the time to cry
now is the time to rise and fight
fear not against merciless challenges
protect your sense of purpose
remember to retain your humanity
and charge forward

Nothing
when you have built a castle on top of a cloud
shake it all down, let them fall crashing down
once you are done crying over them
build them back up
one by one
forget about the worries
forget about the fears
focus on each brick
then one day,
you’ll see you castle again
founded on a firm ground
and you will find happiness
and contentment for yourself.
