Unrequited love
opens the door and slams the truth in my face.
Unrequited love
gives me that smile that caused my whole being to quiver.
Unrequited love
then casts her name,
her name, that caused that beautiful face of his to lighten up.
Her name that made, love, happy.

Isn't this jealousy?
No,
Selfish, the word I was searching,
while I was in a small white room, with love and her.
My stomach started to turn upside down just like how the tables turned.
When unrequited love left,
Unrequited love left.

August came and he had to say goodbye.
Love bids farewell to everything.
Date: August 04, 2016
Time : 10:05 pm and love is gone, love left.

To be standing and alive is to be a Sailor
to voyage every raging sea, and sail to a new paradise.
to live with waves of change and see the rays of a new paradigm.
to set sail with honor and valor.

To be standing and alive is to be an activist,
fighting for all the rights given to us by legislation.
to be loved, be free and be the people's ammunition,
I will be my own freedom artist.

To be standing and alive is to be a magician's assistant,
as life cuts us into half, pushes us apart, we magically escape every trick.
the daggers of life stabs us, the hands of time flick us,
but we are created to be defiant.

To be standing and alive is something to be proud of,
I, You , We,  are all the sons and daughters of an experience.
to be standing and alive is something to be proud of,
to be standing and alive is something
to be standing is to be alive.
