"Never should you ever give up" was always her call
My reply was; Darling, what if I fall?

He will catch you, show you the right path
In a moment, my mind was back to the times of drought

I stood, I crumbled, I climbed, I flew
But who was behind this, knew only a few

When quiet-screams echoed in silences
Who shielded (you) wretched, in times of violence

It rains, thunders, it shines again
His remembrance alone will keep you from being vain

A sigh, a tear, and a gentle prayer
Was all, my Darling, wanted to hear.

How to gain the confidence to complete a simple task?
a bit of a lighter note than other poems I’ve been posting lately…
Asuka Mar 27
I don’t have what they call success,
But that doesn’t make me any less.
I walk a path that’s mine to pave,
A different way—a road I'm brave.

No paper defines the worth I hold,
No stamp, no seal, no weight of gold.
Nothing to lose, nothing to fear,
I stand my ground, my vision clear.

I won’t fall begging for their boots,
I won’t steal—I’ll grow my roots.
Hard work builds, while greed decays,
I’ll walk the honest, brighter ways.

I fear no gods, but deeds gone wrong,
No villain’s path, no hero’s song.
I won’t be shaped by how they see,
I am the lead—my life, my key.

Their words can’t shake what I define,
I breathe, I stand, the sky is mine.
One day, I’ll rise, I’ll claim my place,
Their doubts won’t reach my guarded space.

I am not my past, nor sins before,
Not bound by blood that schemed for more.
I am the fearless, standing tall,
Unfazed by loss, untouched by fall.

I died the day I came alive,
Yet here I stand, I burn, I thrive.
The monster I once feared to be,
Now walks with pride—now walks as me.

A blue bloom where red ones grow,
Unfit for them, yet strong, I glow.
Let them judge, let whispers swirl,
I love myself—that shakes their world.
Being born in a poor family doesn't define your potentials. The key is balance acknowledging difficulties but also fostering a mindset of strength, adaptability, and perseverance.
I am rooting for you. Don't give up!!◉⁠‿⁠◉

The thought of art
is a wonderful start—
to explore yourself,
your impactful part.

The thought of art
is a wonderful start—
to believe your truth,
your dreams, your heart.

The thought of art
is a wonderful start—
to show, to lure,
to grow, be pure.

The thought of art
has a meaningful part—
to show the world
your love, your heart.

The thought of art
captivates your heart
and makes one wonder—
Is this the end, or just the start?

Pessimism..
What is pessimism?
Pessimism is when effort isn’t.
It’s when the darkest roads
inside the tunnels that you drive
feel safer than your destination

It’s when that internal fear of peace
Sabotages your beliefs
so you refuse to listen..
It’s when that voice of reason
in you're head
becomes a danger to your safety
So you decide to give in,
to pessimism..

Pessimism..

When every new light
feels surrounded by darkness
Every new height
keeps you grounded at bottom
And every road traveled, no doubt,
has road damage regardless..

Ya it’s easy to say that nothing works out
because your own self-sabotage
seems like the safer route
Even when you know
that quitting isn’t an option..

So as you repair your own optics
let this water your garden:
Baby put DOWN those narcotics..
Because there’s an end to that bottle
And it ain’t what you’re wanting.
This life is the gift that you’re given.
So understand the lows
to appreciate the highs
And understand the highs
to appreciate the climb..
And learn the sharpest knowns
come from the darkest moments
for you to appreciate your shine
So let your heart and mind align
To stop from only ever growing tired..
And only ever grow higher
only ever grow upwards..
only ever grow wiser.

Pessimism

When that optimism seems gone..
Realize that it’s you, yourself
that you’ve been there for all along..
All you needed was a little push
And in the end, It’ll all be right..
after all..
..everything will all be alright

With love ❤️
A contrast poem to my previous poem “Optimism”.

They say:
Unsee their eyes,
Unlearn their feelings,
Clear your mind, and
Just focus on your dreams.
But the question is—
What is my dream?

Is it art?
Or is it music?
Maybe it’s both,
'Cause music itself is an art, right?

Or maybe it’s a boy,
Looking in the mirror,
Asking questions about
Affection and attraction.

Or maybe it’s a girl,
With soft eyes and a fake gaze.
But if it’s a girl,
Then it’s difficult to achieve, right?

Maybe it’s something else,
Yet to be discovered.
Or maybe it is discovered,
But I am still figuring it out.
Maybe I know what it is,
But I don’t know how to reach it.
Maybe I have taken a step,
Yet the path ahead remains uncertain.

Or maybe it is already achieved.
But if it is already achieved,
Then it is not a dream—
It is reality, right?

And if it is reality,
Then what is my dream?
Just a thought that wouldn’t leave my mind—so I wrote it down.

Unsee, unlearn, let go.
Listen to their untrue laughter, then
walk away.
Unsee their eyes,
unlearn their feelings,
clear your mind, and
just focus on your dreams,
'cause their untrue laughter
won't help you sleep.
The creatures dwell in a dark wood, where no ray of sunlight dares to enter. They can tear you apart and shatter your soul with out any black magic.

Oh, my sunbeam, do not wander there; they will darken you. Their shadows will consume your light.

But do not be afraid. Go forth—become the hunter who fears nothing. Hunt them down before they hunt you.

Spread your wings like Azrael, and with one mighty sweep, wrap every foul creature into oblivion.

Do not be deceived by the illusion of their innocent faces -they are creature disguised as fairies.

You are the earth - revolves around the sun.
I am the moon - revolves around the earth.
Every day you wait for the sunrise even knowing the sunset will take place.
Every night I long for Pournami’s light
Yet embrace Amavasya lost in the night.
You are the last page in the book I adore.
I am the first page in the book you choose to ignore.
I cannot close what you cannot start.
This unspoken word can never be said.
The end of the joy which never felt.
The end of the warmth never left.
The end of the journey was never planned.
The end of the story which never begins.
A dream that time and fate refused to pursue.
Every time you choose to eat poorly,
remember that it's you who is watching.

Every time you smoke another cigarette,
it's you who is watching.

Every extra glass of alcohol,
it's you who is watching.

Every time you play with someone's feelings,
remember how you felt when they did it to you.

Every time you don’t want to go to the gym,
it's you who is watching.

Every time you break your word,
it's you who is watching.

Think of all the times you've been let down,
you don’t want to let yourself down.

If you’re not enough for yourself,
your wife is watching,
your daughter is watching,
your future is watching.

Always forward,
you can achieve it.
