An oxymoron
Probably the biggest contradiction yet
How can one's life be so beautiful yet tiring?
A concept we are all well aware of,
life is full of ups and downs.
But why do we still forget to count our blessings?
Complaining becomes habitual because
it's always easier to remember the bad.
So why don't we channel that energy into the good?
Go through the motions of your downfalls,
take all the time you need to process.
Eventually, when you're ready - take a step back.
Focus on the present, dare to dream your future.
Be thankful, always - that we are living.
Only those alive, have the privilege of having emotions.
And these feelings, those experiences - which belong to you only,
are what we call life.

Youth - an epitome
In your own headspace
and all you could hear is your heart
Pounding
like you had an extra shot of coffee
Sinking........
your breathing gets louder and slower
In a wrath of emotions
As you peel the foil of the chocolate bar
and take a bite into your anxiety
it is bittersweet
You find yourself in a place
where you no longer belong
where expectations are high yet grey
What an odd age
An odd age indeed
Fun turns into guilt
Money becomes happiness
Love, a liability
But remember, while all things change
there’s one that doesn’t
It is Him
His Word remains, always

Emphasis has always been placed on
standing back up each time you fall,
it's just a matter of perspective.
It is crucial to get back up, but
it is more important to fall.
Falling helps us to learn, to stay
humble, to gain new insights.
A world so huge, where it sometimes
feel too cruel, dream big they say,
how do I achieve it when
we are only a person so small?
Little by little, everything will work out.
Keep going towards what's close to your heart,
they are what make the world a better place.
Keep dreaming, keep falling and keep chasing.

Acceptance and life
Beat yourself to it
Not beat yourself for it
Youth
Let go but never
surpass of your morals
Truth, I didn't
Question, why am I still so...
I am down, feeling down

Amidst the noise, you'll find peace
Warmth within your heart,
drawn towards the smiles and laughter,
you'll realise this is the best blessing
Solidarity amongst the chaos,
a reminder to be thankful

We are all humans
People who come from all walks of life
A different state of mind
All it takes is a gesture of kindness
Judgements are meant to be made
But, only to make others 2 cents richer
For what it is worth,
the entire community would be a better place

A painter of your own
Life is abstract yet simple
Count your blessings in every moment
As there are far too many

This cruelty of human nature
Love gives us both strength and weakness
Even though it is simple
It is difficult
Layers and layers of skin as we peel off the onion, tears well up in our eyes
The more we reveal, the more vulnerable we get
As your heart and mind tries to speak at the same time, words come out all wrong
It wasn’t a game for losers and winners
But a bet with the heart
Nobody wants to get hurt
Maybe I should’ve put my walls down
Maybe you were right,
you may not be the one for me
that I would have acted like I care
I’m sorry if I’ve hurt you, alas not what I wanted
What if I always knew you are what I want, and what I need? But so afraid that you’ll let me down
If you could just see that it was because I am not confident that you wouldn’t give up on me
Maybe it wasn’t fair that you weren’t able to prove to me because I didn’t tell you
Likewise, I wanted to see by myself if I am someone who can make you fight
But maybe deep down, you couldn’t or it’s just my own stupidity to not allow myself to risk this heart
Maybe it’s too late to regret now
It breaks me to see that I’ve made you think I am someone which you knew I aren’t
In all hopelessness, I am willing to fight but if I fail, I just hope that we can give this friendship a chance and then you’ll be convinced again that you weren’t wrong about how you felt about me at the start

There are certain things that can’t be explained
Feelings that cannot be put into words
Do you feel me?
Tipping toes everywhere I go
Now I wish - I’ve mastered the game of chess
Hanging on life and death
Every step I take - it kills me
Struggle to find thyself again
To be free
With peace and tranquility

To some, it's about making a connection
A connection to network
While for some, it's about building trust
A rapport - a relationship
Confluence, God's plan, I am confident to say that
I am blessed and thankful
Here's to more sessions of
Profound conversations and glimmer of inspirations
Over roasted ground beans floating through the air
I pray that all may go well with you - and your family
That you may be in good health
As it goes well with your soul
