Choice

RalphLeave a comment

it’s a choice about which future to choose.
my heart says one thing, and my head another.
I’ve tried going with my heart before.
especially when it comes down to choosing a person,
I learned the heart can be misleading.
with people, the answer arrives only too late.
I wonder if I am making the right choice.
I wonder if I can be comfortable in the future
with the choice.
I wonder if I can make a choice without the others’ influence.
we will see in the future.
we will once again,
be tested.

Upgrade

RalphLeave a comment

something happened.
as if a veil of intelligence was revealed,
my mind cleared, my body abided.
I smashed the ball with my racquet,
it returned with accuracy and high velocity.
as if in a flow, high speed exchange continued.
I woke up from the slumber of the average
and felt my new skin of rediscovered self.
Through sublimation, growth, and evolution,
I sensed an upgrade.

Heart

RalphLeave a comment

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.

Give

like a soccer ball kicked around too much,
like a tree enduring harsh winters
like a pebble in an ocean, smoothed all over,
I stand here trying to get up again.
I squeezed my heart and let out a roar
yet expectations of my beloved don’t budge.
I am jumping over the mountains
and be sturdy as a lightening rod,
yet torrents of disappointments won’t stop.
I am sensing the light within me flickering
yet not know what to do.
I hold onto the mast as I hope for enlightenment.

Keep

RalphLeave a comment

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.
