the hero
the giant cat
the lass
the hairy beast
the king
the magic cow
the devil
and the flying horse thing
can plot an story
but they cannot compare
to the adventure
of
you and me
In need of happy ending!!

“Don’t lose yourself” ,
they said
but what exactly
do you lose?
Nothing.
You simply go through and learn
from an experience
and change.
It may be a heartbreak
that taught you not to trust,
or to seal your world away
to escape pain.
Let me tell you this;
You are not a finite thing.
You have the capacity
to do an infinity of great things
to impart what you have
your gifts and talents
and even pieces of you
to those who need it the most
be it the young artist by the park
or the old musician in the sidewalk
or the devil himself.
It’s no longer about the odds
that something will go wrong,
It’s about how much you’ll learn
from something that does
Maybe I’m wrong haha but so what this is how I see things. Some people, including me, went through a lot of pain, that they resort self preservation, I can’t blame them, life has been simply too harsh on them. But I took a leap of faith and scrapped that scarcity mindset and just grow through life, learning from the pain no matter how great it might be and be thankful for it.

A cup of coffee at 1 AM
Chill beats and lofi music
A discussion of thought
with my demons
Missing her, they said
“You’ll be lonely
and so will she
and neither of you
deserve it”
It’s a broken logic
yet a surprisingly good
food for thought

It is odd for a soul like mine
to exist in such an era as the present.
A soul who dwells in both past and future,
and seeks for a time that does not exist.
Someone important coined the title and it still keeps me thinking as to this day and this is my interpretation of the said phrase. :3

Master of roulettes,
card counting
and every other game.
Winning bets
And risking odds.
Somewhere along the road
You realise that there are no odds at all
it might be how dealers shuffle the cards
or when they drop the ball.
It is simply the chaotic order of life.
Empirical knowledge,
refined by gamblers
over the years
keeping it secret
and here I am exposing them.
To win black jack or poker,
you must pay heed of the number of cards,
To win the roulette,
you must understand its physics.
In the end,
you simply must work for your rewards
the more it screws up,
the harder it is,
The greater your rewards will be
for you have earned what you want
and learned and grew through your hard work.
For BLT’s word challenge empirical

I was reminded of the times when I used to play casino games with my cousins and incorporated the strategies I use to always win hehe.
