Prove nothing to no one,
But sincerely look upon your inner being,
Then ask where does the balance stand?

The world isn't held by anyone's standards,
But your will to find a personal happiness,
So stand tall and look upon the sky with a smile.

You will see that while living is suffering,
So are the rest of the souls around us.
And you are not alone in this solitude!

Understand perfection is an illusion,
But not to say don't try,
Instead be empowered by knowing nothing is.

Do not compete with others,
But try to over come your own weakness,
And become better than before with your personal lack.

Ultimately understand no one lives forever,
But finding inner piece or peace that can bring you at ease,
And then becoming better person as time progress.

Surely our deeds should be measure by self enlightenment,
Because no one is ever the same to be measured upon,
For a better you will end up making the world better for all!
Once you can relieve of world's standard, you will realize life is in the palm of your hands, then seek it with all your might!

No one will believe your worth,
But the destiny of your birth.

For your worth to many are penny,
So receive them like any phony.

Waltz by their mockery of you,
But Imbue your talent by their mock as your cue

Only you are the master of your destiny,
And your rise will bring them to their knee.

Side step away from people bringing you down,
And stride at your worth will have no bound!

For time is nigh,
So Let their lies die,
And rise high.
Inspired by a country nobody, who became a talented American!

Strange how 28 years of life I have lived in Minnesota felt so foreign as I delve around the city, but feeling bitter sweet knowing I will be going back to Kentucky tomorrow.  

I definitely have not missed Minnesota fall with drizzling rain, and the cold air that overwhelm the city, but the city lights are hopping as usual.

How I missed the cultural buildings, and the fashion that truly define Minnesota, but saddening to have missed the art museums or theaters.

As of late it seems family gathering is what binds me to this place, and even though I have lost all senses or care for him, watching him in his weak state makes me vulnerable.  I hate feeling weak, or having no control over my emotional state. While I have kept positive reinforcement with my oldman's prospect, deep down I felt uncomfortable about the surrounding.

In all retrospect however it was good to see relatives and friends, and I wish I could have prolonged my visit for another week to catch up with people I've missed, but my life in Kentucky have been written in stone. Only vacation or family duty would allow me to leave Kentucky, and it seems it is another good bye for now.

Take good care Minnesota, and hope to see you again.
Putting life in perspective.

Some say love is something you feel,

But you build it,

Then achieve it,

Keep it,

Cherish it,

And become it.

Ladies and gentlemen why do we ignore each other's eyes,
And why does conversations go so amiss?

It's the messages ignored with responses in silence,
As if the star particles refused to ignite in it's atmosphere.

It is the unheard cries and howls of the rain drops,
And closed shutters hushed us with more monotone hums.

My lady are we that different in thoughts,
That crushing blow of outer space so deserving?

Do treatment of silent beast bring you pleasure,
And the numbing senses of blood vessels need not loosen?

Fellow gentlemen I hear by decree we are in a war,
And all wars are fair, just like love.

We can only pass the ball in their court,
But it takes two to waltz in the field.

So I encourage to all,
Simply respond.
Human secrets of untold journals are but a yesterday's new paper headlines, so then why do you fear the skeleton in your closet, when you can choose your past to not define your present? When everyone has their own closet of secrets, do they sin any less? Drowning and swimming is but a will of your choosing!
