Black Lives Matter~
"If only people looked within me
If only my color didn't matter
they hate me!
they make my heart shatter...
At a tender age
they made me feel
like a bird in a cage
People of 'my kind'
survive not for long...
those people don't listen
they just know
we are wrong
Don't treat us like this
why can't we live with
no hatred and bliss?"
Find back (2)
Past, present, future
All mixed together in a mess
In the expanse of the eternity
Find again and find again.
Getting the immediate
Have lost gone before long
Trying to find in hopeless mind
Here, there, in all the areas there.
Looking for this that has no end
When will the get together be broken
No one can ever predict
Just will remain the relish.
Front path
No more in the dark
open the eye
No more sitting idle
follow the path of light.
Perhaps it is not easy
still do not end up running.
The path may have ups and downs
but effort should be there to reach out.
Get out on the way with bold step
go ahead in front
Barriers are all around
yet they have to be crossed.
That's how it will be done
all the paths have to be passed
Only then will it be seen in the coming days
the door to all possibilities.

Change
Similar to waves or rivers, we can only move forward when we’re changing, or else there’s no progress, no continuity.. else we become stagnant and rot where we are clinging to everything we’ve been gathering.
All that we carry holds us down, in life there’s nothing to hold on to, this only adds to our weight, not allowing us to step ahead, we become heavier and heavier.
We’re here to experience, to see and touch but not to claim anything for our own, because nothing belongs to us, not even ourselves.
When we put back everything that we have been carrying, each day we become lighter and lighter, thus like a feather we float through life unencumbered, and then living would not be as harsh as we think it is.
...Perspectives
Will you live today as an optimist
Or will you let life be boring and dull?
Will you seek to conquer and drive each day,
And live life with a glass half full?
Will you live life with false hope and expectations,
Or will you acknowledge reality, and gain some control?
For living with a more negative look on life
Can help you focus on achieving your ultimate goal.
Is there a balance between these two,
Between the positive and the not?
Maybe there’s some warm in-between
Of the icy cold and the scalding hot.
Reflection
She looks in the mirror and cries
For she is not the beautiful woman she once used to be
She looks in the mirror and weeps
For the loss of the reflection she used to see
Our culture tells her that she’s bad
Because she has freckles and wrinkles and such
And she forgets to stop and think
That maybe looks don’t matter all that much
For appearance fades and standards change
But one thing stays constant and true
Its the inside that truly matters in life
That bright, bold, beautiful you
Battles
Her eyes held all the stars of the sky
And her smile held the warmth of the sun
The wrinkles in her eyes held wisdom
But her complexion showed all the battles she had won
For before a diamond is a crystal
It is refined and purified through heat
Before a maiden can be rescued from her tower
There is a dragon the knight must defeat
There is no victory without a battle
And there is no glory in an unfought war
Without struggle, there can be no resilience
You can't know peace until you’ve experienced the gore
Wounds
Some wounds have this peculiarity:
They may be hidden, but they never fully close.
Always painful, always ready to bleed when touched,
Delicate as a withering rose.
They remain fresh and open in the heart,
with every pulse and breath, pulling apart.
As you lay in your hospital bed,
hurting more than you can bare,
I'm sorry for all the times I gave up on you,
For all the times I wasn't there.
