*Obligation or Love:
Can They Coexist?**
Can obligation and love truly coexist
Is it possible for both to genuinely persist
Time is all that remains—yet I find it slipping away
A fleeting moment a transient display
Is it duty or love that we’ve been fed
Can obligation wear the mask that one truly cares
is love a promise destructed no spare
Times... life whispers ... Are you still there
As time binds the heart these ties are so tough
Is love merely what we've chosen or beliefs to ignite
a refuge we cling
a web we've woven
Obligation or love— is all but a question
To genuinely believe
Or a table present
Challenging time a game to conquer

dear basil,
watch the sunrise
remember how lucky you are to see it
smell the morning air
keep it in your lungs because you can
water your plants
show them unconditional love
love yourself unconditionally
because you're lucky, because you can
love,
basil

dear basil,
just because a feeling doesn't go away
doesn't make it valid
persistence means nothing if it's going the wrong direction
love,
basil

dear basil,
happy easter :))
just one more year
dealing with your parent's
religious ********
don't get too mad
it's like that hypnosis said
"if it is anything negative
you will physically and emotionally feel nothing
it will be like watching a movie
and if it is effecting you in this life
you will be able to see it, and let it go"
of course, he was talking about
past life regression
but this is really just a past life waiting to happen
love,
basil

dear basil,
i promise i'll go to sleep soon
as long as you promise you'll smile at me
if you see me in public
i swear i'll fix my posture
if you swear to celebrate your birthday this year
and i pinkie swear that i'll love you
if you always love me back
forever,
basil

The unhappiness you're experiencing right now comes down to allowances.
The allowance of negative thought to entertain your mind.
The allowance of idleness.
The allowance of making choices against happiness.
The allowance of negative people.
Mostly it comes down to the allowance of time given for anything that will eventually cause you pain.
The same allowance can get you joy and satisfaction.
Salvation of time.
Make the right choice.

you ever wish you could click erase
press restart
to help yourself
move forward in life
without feeling like you’ve left something
far behind you
but to live in the past
is to never experience the present
even with all the opportunities in the world
i would trade
myself
in exchange for being nonexistent
never mentioned
never accepted.

To be forgiving is the hardest,
But the sweetest gift to the self.

I am created to see the beauty in you,
But sometimes I wonder if it's still true.
Your eyes, your nose, the color of your skin - everything about you is perfect.
However, your thoughts differ from what I reflect.
I am made to show you how extraordinary you are,
How your features set you apart.
You are who you are - there's nothing bizarre!
You're a masterpiece, a finely crafted work of art.
Sadly, I'm just here to portray - to be an aid,
Hanged on a wall and be displayed.
At the end of the day, I ask you this question:
Are you truly happy or is it all just deception?

just like the rain,
I will fall when things get too heavy
but like the sun,
I will rise again every morning.

Remember
How
Soulful
You were
You hold
The same
Magic
Still
You are
What
You were
Alive
Alright!

and how brave you are, for getting up and breathing again after the night had shattered your ribs.

my dear,
there are plenty of things
in life
that you must learn
learn
to let go
not only of
those people you've loved before
or the many stuff you used to own
you must learn
to let go of
the things that are
stopping you or holding you back
from being
who you truly are

Stop thinking you’re not enough.
There’s different ways to be funny, different ways to be beautiful
And different ways your talent is expressed from within you
Stop thinking your not enough
Everyone got it rough
One way or another
We all came from a mother
Caused great pain to a mother
Begged for a lover
Just to become
Someone’s mother
Or someone’s father
And someone’s none of the above
Or someone’s other
But more or less someone’s.
Stop thinking your not enough
We all struck by diseases
We all praise some version of Jesus
Even those godless
Get goosebumps
And butterflies in their stomach
And seek purpose and wonder
We are all human
And at some point we
All turn fragile
And at some point we can tell each other we are not made of porcelain
And to be strong
Life’s a journey
but it’s not that long
I tell myself this
When I want to stop thinking
I’m not enough...

Fifty a day, nil the next
The crevices on my lips are a sultry addition today, an imperfection tomorrow
The future is full of prospects, tic toc tic toc…now a void
Emotions and ideas are overrated.
Today I am me. Tomorrow who will I be?
Thousand a day, nil the next…
