A hobby is
Doing something crazy
Over
And over
Again and
Again
Until someone calls it pretty.
Not my usual poem, more just a thought
Serafeim Blazej Sep 2016
we are clumsy birds
and clumsy birds have to start flying early
as the Chinese saying says

we are on the ground
surrounded by leaves and predators
we went overturned out of the nest
nobody cares
but we will not stay here
we will fly higher and higher
and far, far away

we are clumsy birds
and we always fly at dawn
so that no one can see us falling
and if that happens
that they see we are giving our best

and the ground is getting farther
and the sky closer
and we can touch the clouds
and we will not return
because we are clumsy birds
and clumsy birds have to start flying early
as the Chinese saying says

you saw, brothers and sisters?
we are clumsy birds
and we are flying
Poem and song.
It was part of a story.
Inspired by the Chinese saying cited.

Concentrate
On
Yourself...

And
NATURE.
All
You need to know
Is
In
YOU!

Don't, don't
Ever
Doubt yourself!
Believe,
Believe,
Believe,
In
Yourself!
YOURSELF.
It don't mean you're egotistical, it's respecting and valuing your -
self, when so many want to cut you down!

Someone said when faced with a decision
always take the hardest one
because that is the one that will help you grow
But why would I pick the stubborn, drug addict boy
When I could go with the boy who is smart and truly cares about me?
Why would I go out with these girls who don't   care,
When I could be at home watching tv with my mother?
I could tell you said it, but it wouldn't be relevant
because yes, I'm growing, but into a person I despise.
Violet Mar 2016
You stood by the gates, with eyes wild like a lion's and a smile as gentle as a purr. There was never any deception, lies, or mess between us. You are crystal clear, and so am I.

We said our hellos and by the next minute, we were laughing as we are: old friends, long separated. You are the brightest, the dearest. Ease and tenderness, jokes and flirtations and laughter.

The years, apparently, have changed us into the version of ourselves that we need to be for each other. What a blessed, blissful time.
Sometimes, just sometimes, saying nothing at all speaks louder than a million other words you'll try to say.
Irene Mar 2016
sometimes we expect so much from people, because we would be willing to do the same thing for them.

Im going to share a story
A story that people thought they knew
  A story where people dont actually wants to hear
   A story that people never have a thought that it would be true
    A story that made people cries over the reality of life.
     A story that made people felt bad about themself
       A story that made people sad and pity over their own society.

Depressed. Self-harming. Suicidal thoughts.

None of these are jokes.
I've touch the scars and bruises they had.
-Im sorry. I found joy in these
They said.

And tell me now
How sad.
How sad our society are.
That we thought we knew
That we thought we understand
But we let them to do so.

The suicidal thoughts are worst.
Their nights are sleepless one.
None of it is well
-I'd be better off by tomorrow
They said.
Now thats just how much our people care.

What a shame

I'm going to miss you while you're away.

They say "actions speaks louder than words"
but i say *"is it nice if it's both adopt it in anyway?"
