come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
Simply put, sooner you jump, the better.
forget about others, who cares, what matters?
keep falling, fall faster, deeper, the better
keep jumping, forget everything
a metaphorical light is there at the end
no one knows what’s on the other end
does it matter?
keep going.
we will see for ourselves.

at the moment with embrace the full impact:
the pang of shame, regret, guilt, and whatnot;
I know that impulse — impulse to end it all —
but just don’t go yet.
don’t go walking into that darkness yet.
stay a little while.
take a deep breath with me — and
let it go — as naturally as it all should be.
notice the white dots in the dark sky —
shining brightly, traveling across universe —
to meet you at your eyes.
so stay a little while longer.
take it one step at a time.
in time, we’ll get there
and look back at it all and smile.

let us fly, free from all the shackles;
the fears, the shame, and the guilt,
they won’t hold you back anymore
the moment your dreams soar into air
let them shine. let them see the light.
embrace all the flaws and the shortcomings
it will be a glorious day
when we all see how it fly far above our heads.

sometimes I want to grab my past
and shout: “take me back”
I want to breath the fresh crisp air,
bask under the glistening gold sunlight
I see in my dreams in my dark night
I want to feel the levity of life
as if every day was a surprise playtime
if I see my past self in the mirror
sometimes I want to grab my past
and shout: “take me back”
but it’s the darkness that stares back at me
and I, staring back at the darkness.

if we are true to ourselves
even when no one watches us
perhaps then we can be more confident
against ridicule, belittlement, and challenges
hold on; for all shall be worth it.
our baton to our future
all of this is worthwhile
you may remember us some day somehow
2.2.2023
stay focused on the now
too many words fluttering in your head
yes, it’s nice to gaze at old memories
yes, there were good warm memories
but now is the time to exist
to pay the full attention
exist here today
before the time slips away
and becomes filled with regrets.

human body is limited by its own speed
but human mind transcends its limits
an hour of waiting can pass like eons,
yet hours of problem solving feels like a second
faster we run, broader we leap
beyond the limits of the physics
we glimpse at hidden veils of new paradigm
while our body can still hold on.
let us go on then
to the path we all must take.

no matter what the critics say
no matter how much others will laugh
at all the flaws, the naïveté, and failures,
keep your head held high and sail through
it’s a rough water all around,
but the blue sky is there above the storm
keep sailing, and one day
you might find a comfort
under the sunshine.

who knows what the future brings
dices are thrown in the air
now is the time for running
running until the moment the dice hits the ground
when it hits, the judgement follows
either pay the price or reap the reward
when all is said and done,
what works the best are done from a best calculation

ending each night drained of all energy
waking up, jumping into the fray, and repeat
occasionally I wonder the meaning of all this
yet the more I think, the more I am lost
moving to the beat of my heart I go
further I walk, deeper my understanding
providence is the virtue,
but with risk-taking, we witness value
it may appear dark at the end,
but who knows, there’s something there
