Urgh!

What if that day, and everything in it, did not happen? What would my feelings at this moment be? 

Words = Pain

Words matter

       a lot...

And while nobody has the right to hurt you with poignant words

you will still get a dose of it from time to time.

Words hurt

        a lot...

And there are those which 

could've been better left unsaid.

In The Name Of Everything That's Good

To be the best version of you, compete with yourself
And do not think of out-running others.
The world is cruel, life is unceasingly demanding.
If to its norms you confide, you lose.

To find the truest form of happiness
Find nothing on this Earth,
Invest earnestly not in money
But in moments that last a lifetime.

To see the beauty of life, look not at the person in the mirror
With contempt and disdain
That person does not deserve it
Find the passion within, and be free.

To think you are a smarty pants, a genius,
Think again and realize that nobody has the monopoly
Of the greatest of talents, or crafts
Be humble, be kind, then you become an owl.

This post is jumbled, words don't even  jive
The author of this post has reached the point of insanity
Upon putting words into this empty virtual slate.
Let this pass, do not read!
Or else you have nothing left after this.

Same Ol', Same Ol'

Dear Self,

Disappointed lately, are you? Good thing you remembered this virtual space for ranting. It's been more than a year after posting the last emo poem. And you never thought you'd still remember this blog's password.

But here you are, away from Facebook's fake reality (where people brag so much about how wonderful their lives are). Here you are, avoiding the real reality because it is too real to grasp. With too much going on with your emotions (disappointment at most), I thank the Lord for keeping you sane and joyful.

They will never notice your sadness, these people who said they really love and care for you. They will never see your inner struggles because you are good at hiding it, and they won't be able to read this post anyway. Your dramas are yours. Keep it in. Maintain the positive vibe.

Know, however, that apart from this blogosphere (your emotional safe haven), you have Jesus. Tell Him how you truly feel. And you will find peace.

Self, the years continue to move on. I think you should, too.
