ride

it was your everything that took my breath away

your voice and your eyes

your lips and your smile

your warmth and your soul

your love and your heart

you took what's left of me

and turned my world around

before you it was all grey skys and waters

but now i see reds of autumn and greens of spring

you took me on a journey i wish will never end

holding on tight;

i'm ready for the ride

you

your love i yearn for

your arms i crave for

your presence i ache for

yet i cry for you

i ache because of you

i feel helpless around you

your mind is a puzzle i will never solve

your heart a constant change

your entirety i am unsure about

will you hold out for me

and wait for me?

incoherent thoughts

building up a wall

surrounding yourself

calling upon your inner strength to fight off all the pain

you build a wall

the wall seem to close in

with no escape route

you're stuck with no where to run

the air is thick and heavy

breathing is a task to torturous you can't muster the strength

but even with my last breath,

i'm still gonna tell you

i love you

stepping stones

life is a course full of stepping stones

ones you have to cross to succeed

although not everything is measured in medals and trophies,

nor is it quantified in points or grades

we still pursue an icon of succession

though to some, every obstacle may be a pitfall

and every difficulty a failure

but when we view it as a simple stepping stone

we learn to learn

we learn from these stepping stones

that though we might not have achieved what we wanted

but we definitely have gained a little knowledge and strength

and we have also accumulated a stronger will and mind

for it is these things that drive the person forward

and pushes the envelope

till we finally stop breathing

will our path of life ends

and only till then will these stepping stones

come to an end

mindset

beads of perspiration trickled down his weather-beaten face

eyes squinting in the mercilessly sweltering sun

his arms are aching so badly

trembling legs hold him up but not for long

his fingers are sweaty and slipping inch by inch as time ticked by

his body is giving way

despite all odds he stayed up

maintaining balance he trudges forward

constantly reminding himself of the reward awaiting

he trusts in his willpower to get him one step closer

believing in his mind to forget about the pain

and placing faith in the hands of himself

he controls the situation

for it's all in the mind

and mind is over matter

all that matters

worked so hard

pushed so hard

placed my best foot forward

again and again and again

but to no avail

cause the others have got it better than me

all my efforts are going down the drain

because everything is not enough

not enough for me to excel

it does not matter who works the hardest

it does not make a difference who puts forth more

because it will all be taken from you

because you are just

not. good. enough

true sight

we all came from all parts of the globe

so different we saw nothing in common

pride and prejudice

we were not ready to sit down and see

see the similarities we shared

obvious differences overrode

the mere presence of the hidden bond

pushing through the differences

we fought to stay together

knowing we were doing it not for each other

but just cause we needed to

however, the ice have slowly melted away

and we saw how blinded we were

how the days have combined us

so tightly we're attached

by heartstrings and pulses

now, every surge and tug

i feel deep inside

for i know how they feel

for i truly see them
