#lightinthedarkness
I strode one day through the luscious forest of life, and amidst the fresh droplets of spring morn, I found a harsh and lonely creature.
"My name is despair," he told me. And surely he told no lie, for every moment that I spent breathing in his dust, I fell further into misery.
I stumbled away, he following me like a shadow, miring in all that would be, until I had so far lost my footing that I knew not which way to turn.
I tripped and staggered one day, across the dusty plains of understanding, and in the remains of the debris, the cracks and crevices splitting the earth asunder, I heard yet a soft whisper–so soft, indeed, that the voice of despair nearly drowned her out.
"I am hope," she told me. Weary from my sorrow, I crumbled to my knees. Bitter salty droplets of despair fled from me to such a degree that I feared they may drown the grain of hope.
But surely, she told no lie. For she stood, growing in height until she could wrap watery arms around me. And in the cool freshness of her fragile embrace, I heard her say, "Despair may hide hope for a time, but in the end, hope shines through the darkness of despair."
Taking my hand, she brought me to my feet, and though despair followed us all the way, hope held my hand, a lantern in the darkness of the land of understanding, until I reached the other side.

After a long time,
I am finally home,
feeling whole again,
in the presence of the
Lord of the universe.

The stamina maintains, then suddenly raises the bar,
No chamber to breathe, no time left to turn back,
Nothing annihilates you faster than your mind,
Remember to carry the joy that's passed you by.

The city's lights blur into dawn,
What if I was just gone —
Spun ceaselessly from a wheel,
No eyes are drawn.

If you stop expecting miracles from people,
you can never get hurt by them;
instead, if you initiate the expectation
of blessings only from God,
your heart will bloom again.

Is it tardy to stay up, be awake?
Sinking near the shores of mistakes
"You can't do it" is what they stated
They disturb thou to lose your way.

some will like you; another one won't
you can't make everyone like you
furthermore, it is not your fault
and, even if they do not like you,
it is not the end of the road.

My screams were cutting my ears
Those walls were teetering my fears
Could not stand near or to here
Wanted to show my heroes.
Lost my innocent dreams when listening
to everyone else, what they've been saying.
They threw up on me their bullets.
Then they threw me into the holes.
Tried to breathe but I was under the ocean
The voice I heard told me "That's impossible."
Something in me was becoming invisible
That's how I lost myself in the last battle.
Lost hope and a vast amount of friends
They were influencing all the weekends
Days weren't including any happy ends
They took something in me till it ends.
Wanted to escape from this maze.
Locked into the prison of the mind
Started looking to the beginning.
Suddenly the fears stopped when
I realized that I wasn't injured
I was not broken, faded inside.
They will always be there
Promised me not to hear
What they add more to my fear.

Out there
Just walking
Thinking of
Why I was hiding
Tasting the weather
It's pretty cold
Lip-syncing to
Another song
The moon looks calm
Stars are blazing
I want to hear
a music full of dreams
Hopes and diamonds
Light in the darkness
Never was a warrior
Still want to fight
There is a fork in the road.
A fork will set us both.
Don't want to go back
Know that it's too late;
Still, now I can be
Whoever I want

even if your heart is bleeding or your hands are shaking,
when the truths are hurting therefore you keep on falling,
when the worlds are dying, and you're exhausted from running
I wanna see the passion in you.

They're loathing it;
I'm floating in it.
I've got so many
questions in my heart.
Gotta go. Swim further,
Dive deeper.
Got these concerns,
they are eating me alive.
Can't feel my senses,
I might lose this fight.
Gruesome, fearsome,
it's like my head
puts me in the worst
scenarios.
Hurricane of thoughts.
Acrid, dark, deep,
the pain tries to dominate.
Guilty, I feel guilty.
I made mistakes.
Can I expend the
border of my heart
and open it for love?
Someone lives inside
of my mind.
It tries to control me,
who hangs out there
like its habitat.
I want to put an end
to this; don't want
to live with fear.
God created me.
I didn't exist before;
Mustn't waste my time.
This world remains
temporary even the
pain which seems
unbearable instantly.
It will be gone,
go away like all
the things in life.

acclaim to the one who got disapproval
for regarding what’s right
although who is autonomous,
agile; persistently willing to fight
does not allow an excuse to alter
its brain; just asserts the light
there is nobody like you on the site
who elicit a resilient knight
raise your head, but never have
arrogance in your heart
use that confidence in you to
empower other people around
beginnings are over, may not
always restart the first part
you can move forward with
your faith & be crowned

Hey guys, I published my first book on January 1st, 2020. I was excited about this project that's why it was challenging for me to not talk about it but today finally I can reveal that my book is out now.
You can buy the paperback and Pre-order the kindle E-book version of my first poetry book: "Light In The Darkness"
Light In The Darkness. It's a journey where you can package your thoughts into a suitcase and set them free on the top of the mountain when looking to the cloudy skies with the lights
far from each other.
That tour might be shorter than you thought, it's a world with adventures: different knowledge behind each leaf, new faces behind the tall green trees, between all of them you are going to the path to find who you are.
Available on Amazon & Google Play

Take my hand, take my pain
let's not make this conversation
behind the mountain of the fame
Digital life, a settlement,
a heart made from metal
you got to choose it better
Which account do you want,
how many followers do you have?
You should put the screen down,
give a break while time runs
follow the life that you are yearning
on the screen, you are only losing

See the ranting of the man,
They think he's angry with them.
He finds it's hard to see in the wind,
Overshadowed by the fearsome rind.
He never falls asleep
Villagers think he is blind
He never walks with a flock
Dragons knock; wolves mock.
He'd like to listen to one crake
All night; waits for it to be awake
When the crake starts singing its song
He realizes how to stop the *chimaera.
It's his painkiller, painkiller
He doesn't need any filler
Now his heart has a thriller
He no longer wants to be a killer.
-----------------------------------------------------
*Chimaera is a mythological creature that is
a combination of lion, goat, and snake.
