there’s no one to blame
there’s shards of glass on the floor.
it doesn’t matter if it is
a drop of tear on the floor
a tape recording of this moment
pushes us to keep on going.
don’t blame nobody
but search for the hidden love.

Open-mind
try pushing your limit

believe in yourself.
it’s fairly simple.
it is now or never.
keep trying.
you will evolve
towards the direction
of your decisions.

Strength
as my history follows me
I am swimming faster than ever.
words to soothe my worries melt away
as I yearn to be better than yesterday.
let my work be of help, a stepping stone.
for someone yearning to be better.

Heart
a heart that has been through years
of loving, fights, and endured them all
will know when is the right time to move.
we all become a fool in front of an attraction
but a soul that has been through it all
will know what lies ahead.
I pray that I make a wise decision
and proceed with caution.

Withstand
I start to see that when you endure,
all the challenges will become your strengths.
if you run away,
they will haunt you for the remaining days.
some are very scary.
some are deeply hurtful.
so remember that you are not alone.
you must seek company.
and then endure the hardship.
it may not make sense now,
but it will once you’ve overcome it.

Keep
even after you’ve done your best
odds may not favor you.
there are those you can control
and those you must admit you cannot control
even as the inevitable befalls onto you,
squirm.
keep squirming. keep your vision. keep rising again.
even if the world falls upon you
even if this may be the end
you’ll know you have done your best.
keep squirming.
inevitably, the odds may favor you one day.

Love
do I deserve to be loved?
I realized things have changed
and that I am not in mud any more.
but the memory of the dark water
lingers too close in my mind.
do I deserve to be loved?
can I ask to be loved?
can I be free to love?
to find out,
I’ll be a bit more honest,
I’ll work hard,
but not to earn the love,
but to protect those that I love.

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.

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.

Judge
instinctively,
my jaws tighten,
my fists clench,
my thoughts start racing.
as if to push a racing train to a halt,
I tell myself:
I am not the one to judge.
yet the screeching animosity does not stop,
rather slowly pressurize for an explosion.
if humans are not perfect,
why strive for such perfection?
I’d like to know I did the right thing
and live and love without regret.
