Before I start this poem ,
Let me put a disclaimer
This may look cryptic ,
The words may dive deeper
But bare with me please ,
Lend me your patience
For this sudden random piece ,
Let's find some ILLUMINATION!
The world is so vast ,
It creates an illusion
A fantasy we created ,
For our imperfections
— It is a consolation...
Love is a beautiful thing ,
The most humane feeling
They say , " It makes the world go round " ,
I guess it's true but some may differ
I've seen what it is ,
If not then why I exist?
They may not have the wealth ,
But I'm blessed nevertheless
It's courageous and pure ,
Some sacrifice to have it
Some sacrifice for others ,
Some sacrifice for their own greed
But as I grow old ,
I've learned something else
It's not that we can't ,
It's just some are compelled
Others have happy endings ,
For others... A luxury they can't afford
It has different shapes and colors ,
Unique on its own
It's easy to judge others ,
Without knowing the truth
It's not the love that fades ,
It's the people that changes
So if it's still not there ,
Don't rush and be stupid
It's not a racing contest ,
Just wait patiently....
And if it's worth it then fight for it!
Failure is imminent ,
We all go through it
A necessary tool to life ,
A reality check we need
Its not all sunshine ,
Sometimes it rains
It may feel so exhausting ,
But don't forget the feeling
Once you survive this ,
Success will be sweeter.
Opportunities are not often ,
Grab it when you still can
It may take years to bloom ,
But your time will surely come
There is a reason behind ,
Why pain and struggles exists
It's a daily reminder ,
That we are just human beings
Mistakes are natural ,
Who doesn't commit mistakes?
But learn the process ,
Just don't make it a habit
Being weak is not bad ,
But staying weak is!
Life is cycle of process ,
I guess I'm still not halfway yet
Just like others ,
I'm trying to figure out my self
I have nothing but my words right now ,
But my freedom still exist
It's better to have none yet ,
Than no peace of mind at all
We still have time left ,
To work it out after all
This may mean nothing ,
But this is my conviction
A simple way of thinking ,
" One step at a time " mentality
Don't make it too complex ,
You'll lose your youth in no time.
It's not bad to dream high ,
But keep your feet on the ground.
And before I end this ,
A friendly reminder to all
Life is a treasure ,
Don't end it just because you fall
Just pause a moment and breath ,
Don't keep it to your self
It's not bad to seek help ,
It's not bad to admit defeat
You're not all alone ,
That's why we have families and friends
We have limitless chances ,
As long as we still lives
Our life is much greater ,
Than all the adversities
Keep it simple ,
Don't take it too seriously
Love yourself first then others ,
Work smart not hard
Fail but don't stop ,
Learn and apply it to life
This is my illumination ,
An ongoing vision of mine
It may not be significant to you ,
But it may come in handy
A simple way of
Thinking is the best
The path to good life
Always open for those
Who have the will to strive better!
