What are you living for?
Where do you get your motivation from?
Please tell me.
I need to know what keeps you going.

My one on one time begins as soon as I pick up this pencil
Writing to release these contemplations
The lead takes me to a process of distillation
Being careful not to run out from this eraser
Our everyday mistakes can be related to an eraser
Once you run out from your eraser you cannot wipe away any errors
So you carefully choose and think wisely
Being mindful of the insufficiency and blackness of the eraser
No matter how many times you erase
there will always be a trail of black spots left behind
Live life as if you were running out from your own eraser
That way you pursue perfection and not mistakes
Don't be the eraser that runs out quicker than the lead

Furiously, irritated, and brokenly,
I asked myself,
“When it comes to love,
why does it always fail me?
In my attempts, I’ve never succeeded.
What is it?
Am I not worth fighting for?”
Suddenly this voice replied,
“Be still, you don’t need a mouse trap to capture love,
Easy comes easily dies,
seek for true & everlasting love.”
Since then, I never asked further questions.

Just like seasons change
people change
for better or worse
we make mistakes and gather regrets like leafs that fall
on autumn and spring
we kneel down and pick them up
but our conscious puts us down
can we change how we feel?

Be like the rain
that pours down from the clouds
crystal clear and pure
Not like dirt from the ground
that everyone steps on
Some leaving a trail of footprints
Not caring about the mess left behind.
