now is the time we must face each other.
there will be disappointments,
surprises, and agreeableness.
remember to live this moment
as fleeting as it may be
with your fullest focus.

Plan
Our minds shift so fast and diverse
reading a yesterday’s diary
is like gleaming at someone else’s mind.
all our thoughts, feelings, and wills
morph into something else.
let us write our plan,
let us start building our own future.
let us strive to take the leash of our fate,
let us finally live life as we hoped to live.

Guess
the guessing work can hurt you
expecting the worst can hurt you more
that what is actually threatening you.
but keep holding on to your faith
as you wait for the result
believe you will be rewarded.

Bite
make sure to take a bite
of a food you can nourish with
before others start to bite on you.
harsh words, smirks, and schemes
will take a toll on you.
good hearty meal
will go a long way
to protect your mind and heart.

Weather
it rained long at night
I could not fall asleep because
the sounds of the cars passing by
echoed like the waves by the river bank.
I cried
because I felt like a lost child
wandered too far from home.

Mirror
only too late we find out
how we act upon others
does not reflect who they are
but who we are.
before you realize,
all the treasures are swept away
and you are left with a photo
of yourself of how you treated them.
so be aware of how you treat others.

Test
Is life truly a marathon?
or is it bouts of sprints?
between a need for joy
and austerity,
between a wish to be understood
and to understand,
between the beauty of nature
and its mercilessness
what choice did we make?

Align
when we run fast enough
do our breath reach the star?
when we scribble long enough
do we remember the world?
when we hold each other long enough
do we belong to each other?

Inconsiderate
Like bread crumbs
under the table,
I spilled words here and there
leaking my inner itch
to leak into the world
unpleasant element
in the name of “art”
don’t do this anymore
it won’t do good to anyone.
reveal you’re true positive narrative
and you will see what I mean
