This is a big part of why I share my poetry. I would write it regardless, because it’s in me and has to come out, but I share it because when I was hurting, I leaned heavily into other people’s words to know that I was not alone in it. And I want to be that to others.

When people say “why don’t you write something happier?” it’s the equivalent of “you should smile more” to me. I am being authentically and vulnerably myself in my words, and in the sharing of them, and I can’t force myself to be anything else. In the past, before I knew myself and my poetry well enough, I’ve pandered to other people’s visions of what my poetry “should” be, and it stripped away the passion from my little passion project. I simply don’t have the patience for the “should”s anymore, and I know who I am as a writer now.

I hug sad words to me and they bring me joy, so I am keeping them. ♥️

Do you want to stop going back in the cycle?!

It's never easy
Days turn weeks
Weeks turn months
Months turn years
Years turn into decades

and if we're not careful,
which most likely, we indeed are,
we are just going back in cycles
repeating the same mistakes
again and again and again and again

and again and again and again and again
and again and again and again and again

"sumo," right?!
I've been there!
Super frustrating (plus super hard too,
because if it's super easy, I, myself,
would have been able to fix it before)

But one thing I learned recently
is that you must take action!
Move if you must!
Walk if you must!
Act if you must!

Merely dreaming and thinking
doesn't do anything
Plus exposing yourself
with the same circumstances
with the same environment
with the same old habit
basically repeating the same actions
that you were doing before
it will just continue to trap you
over and over again

and again and again and again and again
and again and again and again and again

"sumo," right?!
I've been there!
Super frustrating (plus super hard too
because if it's super easy, I, myself,
would have been able to fix it before)

But now that you've read this,
ACT!
DO IT!
STAND UP AND DO IT!

It's not going to be easy
You will find yourself
looking at the same things again
doing the same actions again
feeling the same emotions again
thinking the same thoughts again
listening to the same voices again
But don't stop!

Forgive yourself
every time you fall,
brush off the dirt from your knees,
stand back again,
AND KEEP MOVING FORWARD!!!

I'm here, praying for you
(and I also know,
that you're praying for me too)
that we all succeed
e-v-e-r-y d-a-y,
the guidance,
the support,
the help,
the encouragement
for us all to keep moving forward

Thank you!
We can all do it!
Fighting!

If you get tired, rest.
And try again.
Remember, you're never alone.
God with you.
And you have me too.

And far from what you've imagined
out there is a fresh start
waiting for you
so don't waste it.

Good morning.

Echoes of Friendship: Lullaby of Trust and Communication

Trust and communication, like two friends on a journey
One cannot walk alone without the other, in laughter and in worry
Open hearts, open minds, the key to trust we find
With every word spoken, every bond refined

Through communication, trust is built brick by brick
But it takes two friends to make the foundation thick
Listening ears and honest tongues, a recipe for trust
Without them, bonds weaken and friendships rust

Like the sun and the rain, trust and communication go hand in hand
Nurturing growth, building bonds that forever stand
In every friendship, let trust and communication be the guide
For with them, love and laughter will flourish and never subside.

Please let me know...
Am I still doing the right thing?
Or am I the only one forcing things to be the way they are?
Is this really for the good?
Or am I the only one forcing things to be the way they are?
Please let me know...

Things are alright,
Then suddenly, (silence)
Then things again become alright,
Then suddenly, (silence)...

Please let me know...
Am I still doing the right thing?
Or am I the only one forcing things to be the way they are?

I'm confused...
Please let me know and feel...
The silence is breaking my heart... and mind...

(I cry silently deep inside)...

I must accept that I am meant to be alone
On this path, all by myself, all on my own
It's not easy, this feeling of loneliness
But it's a part of life, and I must confess

I must accept that I will be lonely at times
Without someone by my side, in my climes
But I won't let it defeat me, I won't let it win
I'll find ways to fill the void, and find joy within

I'll find peace in my passions and my hobbies
I'll find strength in the moments that are zesty
I'll find comfort in the quiet and the calm
I'll find joy in the little things, and find my own balm

I may be alone, but I am not forsaken
I'll find a way to make my own happiness, unshaken
I'll embrace this journey, and make the most of it
I'll find myself, and I'll find my own fit, and I'll enjoy it.

I'm okay...
(not really a truthful answer but rather a wishful answer...
It means you are not okay at the moment
but you wish you'll be okay...
hoping and wishing and begging to be okay...)

Hi, how are you?
I'm okay...

(then you take a deep breath,
and muster all the courage you have
all the strength you have
and throw a big smile)...

Life is hard... really really hard...
It throws a lot of punches,
left punch, right punch, uppercuts (and insert other punch)

You fall to the ground,
then on your knees, you try to get back again
then back to the ground again,
bruises, and bleeding, and pains

But you still try to get back on your knees
and on your feet
again and again and again
Because you don't want to be defeated
you don't want to be the loser

You go through difficulties
You go through hardships
You go through a lot
But at least you've tried
Because you don't want a life full of regrets

Hi, how are you?

(you take a deep, deep breath,
and summon all the courage you have
all the strength you have
and throw a big smile)...

I'm okay...

Sorry.

I didn't mean to hurt you, but I did.

I didn't mean to break you into pieces, but I did.

I didn't mean to destroy your life, but I did.

Sorry.

To all people reading this,

please stop...

stop hurting the people you love...

stop breaking them into pieces...

stop destroying their lives...

Sorry.

I hope it isn't too late for you.

Please, I beg, listen to me just once,

and stop...

It is hurting them...

It is breaking them...

It is destroying them...

If you really love them, don't do those things that will only bring them harm...

Please...

Sorry.

I wish I had done things differently...

So please, stop and think about what you are doing before taking any action.

Remember that your actions may have long-lasting effects on the people you love, so please be careful how you treat them.

Take care, and be kind to those who have been hurt by mistakes or wrongdoings in the past. Don't let them suffer anymore.

Be gentle, supportive, and understanding with everyone, no matter what.

And please, if you have done something wrong, let this be a reminder to apologize and make amends for it.

Don't ever forget that regret can never undo the damage caused by your actions.

Take this chance to start anew with kindness and love in your heart.

All the best.

Sorry. ❤️
