thrive to be where you are right to be.
what is right place to be after all?
we are all wandering looking for something
anyways.
yet sometimes when the ruck strickes right
we walk a path that is alone
but meant to be heard by all.

Acceptance
It is not my fault
that the ground I walked on
was already filled with trash.
yet I had turned my mind’s eye away
from the memory of having the walk
and lived on as nothing had happened.
I reached out my hand today
to the memory long neglected.
I accept who I was,
what I have seen, in spite of
what I had hope for
as I accept who I am now.

Persona
there are inevitables – age, wealth, and so on.
let us leverage what we are given
and shine the brightest in our own way
and brush the dream of our own
onto the dark cold night as our canvass
let us find our persona – a key to the world –
and wrestle until the sun rises.

Sleep
I need sleep
yet the dream
keeps me awake.
yet I know:
keep your head cool
as your heart heats up

Judge
instinctively,
my jaws tighten,
my fists clench,
my thoughts start racing.
as if to push a racing train to a halt,
I tell myself:
I am not the one to judge.
yet the screeching animosity does not stop,
rather slowly pressurize for an explosion.
if humans are not perfect,
why strive for such perfection?
I’d like to know I did the right thing
and live and love without regret.

Connections
it cannot be forced,
but slowly, smoothly, and shyly,
weaved into a strong fabric
via intricate rituals and ceremonies
warmth and resilience born from such
lasts a lifetime.

Habit
how do I stop watching YouTube?
it’s an invisible string
hooking my weakest points
wrapping them into an addiction.
how do I get out of this?

Stakes
perhaps this is how I work better
to feel the weight of the stakes on my skin
keeping the skin in the game
growing every day
it’s a way I chose to walk this path.

Embrace
embrace your faults
leverage it.
if you turn around your faults
you’ll start to see its usefulness.
embrace the good and bad:
they are all yours.
pivot, negotiate, and explain.
if all does not go well,
it’s alright.
at least you know you tried.
even if the whole world is against you,
you will know that about yourself.
keep trying.
it’s not over ‘till it’s over.

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.
