How am i strong
When I’m still submitting to weaknesses?
Brushing away the nagging feeling
That things are not alright
That they can be better
But it’s in my hands.
How am I stronger
When I still am not able
To make the right
And cut my losses
To shape my life
The way it should be?
The way i so want it to be…
is it easier or harder
to want what everyone else wants?
what we are smiled upon for wanting?
what we are supported and celebrated for wanting?
or is it harder to want what no one else thinks you should want?
what you will be lectured about, advised about, discouraged and guilted about?
is it easier to try your best to conform and worry how you fall short?
Or is it easier to strike your own path and bear the cold shoulders and disapproving glares?
this whispers, the dead silences, the piteous, the nervous and ingenuine smiles?
when does it become easier to do your thing?
when does it become easier to do what you want?
when does it become easier to achieve what seems to come so easy to others?
when does it become enough?
when does it become easier?
a relief-ful sleep
a deep pressed sleep
a well steeped sleep
a much welcomed sleep
a tumble less slumber
an uninterrupted doze
now i bring my eyes to close
and sleep with peace on my mind

an often seen post
“be happy for yourself”
“make yourself happy first”
“your happiness depends on you”
“you make your happiness”
“you are the creator of your joy”
a superficial toast to what one wants to be
but without you….i cannot seem to find myself
let alone find the joy sunken low within me

another deadline written in the air
another supposed timely due date
another task for my fickle patience
arduous it is to wait and not waste away a little more each time
i feel the edge threatening to crumble off
asking what will i do when my feet touch air?
will i reach for land or will i leap?
i feel my being breaking apart inside
asking will i give up or harden?
will i reach up or will i fall down?
i feel my heart letting go
asking will i trust it again
or will i just let it rot and bloat?
will i let it soar again or pin it to its place?
