come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
sometimes it’s just too painful
to stay awake and face the world
sometimes it’s too sorrowful
to witness hurtful signs of the world
but stand firms on your ground
stare square into the purple problem
even if a second slows to a full year
every moment will be worth it in the end
good luck.

I can’t help but notice
cracks slipping into calluses
as I am running at full speed
somethings do fall apart
but it cannot be stopped
full speed ahead
until we see the glorious end

when my ego has ballooned
like a red round birthday balloon
quietly, slowly, and steadily
I found a small candle burning brightly
glowing like a lone star in a dark night
shining on a lone path into solemn plight
Into darkness I set my foot
mustering courage as much as I could
starting this journey with humbleness
gravitating to destiny with piousness

onto soft-linen fabric of fluffy duvet
I laid my back and let it sink and float
under a shade blanketing my eyes from the sun,
I let my mind happily drift, as if to blink,
as if to indulge a sip of sweet drink,
then grass cutting buzz of my phone rings
calling me back to sober reality
and I just sit in my chair
gazing into a distance far from my desk
and wondered how sweet it was.

when in doubt,
take a nap
with a good chance
nightmares will dissipate
clarity will find your way
and threads of your history
will fair better to be traced

is it time for change
or should I hold onto the wave
roaring from youthful past
crashing into the beach so vast
destination remains the same
regardless of speed or strength
we sail to brighter horizon
over one wave over another
we shall reach the promised land
2.26.2022
when we believe,
when we mutter to ourselves
even when it is difficult to believe
“yes, we can”
and move to put into action
we will see the results
presenting themselves
in front of our eyes
let us march on
against this storm of blizzard
2.26.2022
in this night of trial,
one luxury I’d wish:
your voice.
your eyes.
your warmth.

enough with your hypocrisy
facade of generosity for humanity
you are no more than a next mortal
with all the flaws and weaknesses;
atrocities you commit,
shameful things you do in a pit
all lie in the shadow under the sun
no matter how you try to hide it
learn your flaws with hugs
and wash ‘em in river of sorrow
wake up in clarity and rise again.
you must rise again
to face the world
and atone for it.

free falling, I thought about you
and your petite sweet offer
one too good to be true, one that lingered
in the back burner of my mind with you
speeding towards the earth
I wondered what all would’ve been worth
after all, we live with consequences
of choices we choose regardless
of the regrets, the guilt, the burden
so, we move on with a hope in the horizon
