humbled at every moment
for my own room to grow
but I won’t dwell on my embarrassment.
I will keep my head even
looking forward to rising days
to take one step after another
and become a better man.

Feelings
once it is here,
the next, it is gone
the fleeting, ephemeral
yet quintessential element;
source of inspiration
for many.
I wish you a luck
to catch this while it lasts.

Heart
as the front runner said,
“you gotta follow your heart.”
even if it is to stick your head
into the mouth of a tiger,
if you go with your full heart
you won’t regret it.
if you do anything half-hearted,
that’s when you will see yourself
languishing in eternity.
follow your heart.
accept this path.

Reach
I am stretching my arm
to write what I want to write
but there are other responsibilities.
I know I have kept you waiting
but hold on
I am almost there to make the reach.
In a few days, you’ll see.

Plan
remember what matters
remember moments when you swore
you would not make the same mistake again
remember how valuable this time is.
a plan will help you achieve what you value.
so please make a plan.

Line
there’s a line we all walk
it’s a line between being an animal and human.
neglect one-side over the other,
you’ll start noticing something is off.
I am holding onto values and principles I believe in,
and we will see at the end, if these were right.
until then, it’s a constant challenge,
a forceful evolution.

Dream
For those who dare to dream of a noble cause,
We applaud and support them.
Because it takes money to dream,
we continually work
and weave our dreams.
For those who work
every waking moment,
confidence builds.
For those who prepare for the moment,
the lightning shall be caught.
So now, let’s build.
I want to build my own story.

Rolling
in my opinion,
we should always roll.
turning and churning,
we meet new experiences
highs and lows.
wins and losses will be the paint
to the larger picture we draw.
at the top,
we shall see it all.

Care
it might feel burdensome sometimes,
but it is a noble thing to do.
to care for others than yourself,
and honoring their way of life.
but foremost of all,
remember to take care of yourself.
life comes and goes,
yet we are here to dance.

Adventure
a new journey begins.
less materials in my pocket
but more in my heart and mind.
at the end of the day,
that’s what matters.
