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.

Mirror
only too late we find out
how we act upon others
does not reflect who they are

to leak into the world
unpleasant element
in the name of “art”
don’t do this anymore

and live the moment.

Run
doesn’t it feel so good?
to be honest and faithful
just for this moment?
doesn’t this matter too?

in what’s happening
right under your feet?
