From the start, a goal is so far away,
We don’t see how it’s
Possible.
Something we can reach for, or even spend
Time
Thinking we can do it!
We can!
We will!
We have to believe!
Have faith, and clear the path!
It’s so close, yet so far.
Do a little at a
Time,
Keep reaching,
Keep knocking,
Keep asking,
And
You
Will
Find!
You
Will
Reach
And…
In the end, we only regret the chances we di...

The breeze swept away the tears.
We all have great fears.
Lovers at first sight lost in the night.
Even those who were kind, sadness they may find.
Though tangled in vine their love will still shine.
From fighting they need a break.
In the end they only regret the chances they didn’t take....
I made a mistake
I hurt someone
My it heart aches
I never wish to be so mean
All I wanted was to be seen
All alone I felt back then
Now I see I was an awful friend
So many retakes
All I did was repeat and betrays
Now I’m alone
Or so it feels
I tried to fix it all alone own
To no avail
I fight and fail
All they did was try and help
But I refused, “I can fix it by myself”
I only realized when t...
Don’t you remember all the people we turned down all for a love we thought we found that slowly fell to the ground .
Is it always in our favour to savour every moment ?
Love is nothing more than a flying dove evacuating the peace with every fading crease of a smile , Soon you’ll be in denial was the relationship ever worthwhile .
lost between the frost of heart wanting to restart away from the...
I loved you from the first week together
Dancing in and out of tentative affection
I never did hold your hand on the dance floor
We giggled together in the cooling sun
You splashed me and told me about your family
I too was late to care for you -and
I watched the sun begin to set but didn’t kiss you
You told me you could love me,
And I told you I could begin again,
I was absent at the turning...
The cat’s got it
pesky thing it is
i can blame it so long as it exists
in my mind as the cause of the problem instead of myself
i must then
blame the cat
that’s got my tongue
that’s made me hold on to everything to avoid making two trips
when i leave you i gather everything in my arms
stuff the space between my limbs with tetris like accuracy
pile it high until i can no longer see what’s in ...
She’s heavy
Like an elephant on your chest
She belittles you even at your best
She’s the author of anxiety
& the mother of your depression
Regret, regression, repression
She kills your vision
& sets sail her mission
She promises safety in knowledge
Yet does only damage
She bathes you in sorrow
And gives life that is only borrowed
She seeks you until she can finally behest
Your violent a...
Yes! The web of comfort zone traps us so deep, it gets really difficult to make a bigger web from the previous.It makes us like a mad king who would consider eating junk but also dream certain things like what he wants as it takes a very high level of willpower to jump out of the previous web to the later....
It’s a Sunday afternoon, I’m sitting in my car peacefully staring at the beautiful trees, the bright blue sky with minimal clouds, and kids playing on my neighborhood street. A minute later a rush of guilt and despair take over my calm state of being. I feel pathetic. All week I have been waiting for the weekend, daydreaming about what I was going to do. I wanted to go to the gym, go on a hike, do...
regrets linger
I knew he was fading,
His light slowly dimming.
Yet my life kept me tethered,
My visits started skimming.
I long to see his smile again,
Hear his gentle voice.
Have one more conversation.
If only I had gone sooner,
Seen his face one last time.
Maybe even held his wrinkly hands.
Heard his voice, still sublime.
The regret weighs heavily,
It’s overwhelming
A burden i will always b...
