When was the last time you appreciate life?
The last time you just sit still,
And observe everything around you
And just collide with the world?
I think the world is still a beautiful place in spite of the pain and everything. You just have to look deeper and closer.

I'm afraid to love again,
become so happy with the presence of someone,
the last time I fall, shattered me.
The memories still haunts me.
I'm afraid to lose myself again,
loving someone
who will just end up hurting me.
I don't know when will I be ready,
to say "I love you" again to someone.
I don't want to fit in a certain society,
Just to prove them I'm superior and mighty,
I enjoy no limits, no boundaries,
Away from rejections and worries.

I don't want to be judged,
By a fool's judgement,
I don't want to be rejected,
Like others you've collected.

I'll continue to be myself,
With a promise I'll be no helf,
I will not be rejected by you,
Because I'm not trying to.
P.S. I am not a rejection.

I asked God
"Please give me just a day,
To refresh myself
Away from all tasks and demands
For I am getting tired of them"

So God did,
And during those days of freedom,
I somehow did not
Allow Him to speak with me

The days grow and suddenly
I feel empty, lifeless
I wonder why I feel weak
Even if I'm not tired physically

Then I pray to God
But not the same prayer I uttered before:

*"I would not ask you anymore my God
To take away those tiring tasks
That the days throw in me
Along my way

But rather, I say
Please Lord be my strength
Through the days of being tired,
Of being free
In every season in my life

I knew each of these days
Will give demands
But be the source of my joy
Be the source of my strength"
The poem perfect after midterms week. Hurray for God's never ending favor and strength! :)
Brave and strong*
That how I describe her
Her beauty shines
As the morning breeze blows her hair

Her dress sways
Like the graceful grass
And she's as sweet,
As poppies in the field

Holding her parasol
With dignity and beautiful soul
Nothing will ever compare
To her never ending care
This poem is an example of an ekphrasis. Ekphrasis is defined as a poem derived from one medium of art (such as paintings) by describing and defining its essence and form.

In relation to this, the paintings of Claude Monet captured me in writing this.

I failed to right in rhymes I'm sorry. Only the last stanza got it right.
My unending thoughts
are like quicksand
that consume me entirely

Perhaps this is the
very condition of existence
to feel the bizarre
nature of being a human

That not all stars
can be fathomed into constellations
