#pursue
I’ve climbed the peaks of my ambitions,
Gathered medals, built traditions,
Each step forward marked with pride,
Yet something stirs, unfulfilled inside.
The paths I’ve walked, they glimmered gold,
Stories of growth and journeys bold,
But as I stand and take a view,
I wonder—was this path mine to pursue?
The roads ahead stretch vast, unknown,
Some feel foreign, some feel home,
Yet none whisper, This is the way,
They tease the question I ask each day.
Am I the architect of my dreams?
Or just a player in someone’s scheme?
I’ve built, I’ve grown, I’ve reached, I’ve tried,
Yet the spark of purpose hides inside.
Success is hollow when roots aren’t deep,
And growth feels shallow when dreams don’t keep,
But in this fog, a truth unfolds:
The answers lie in the soul I hold.
So I’ll pause the rush, the endless chase,
Sit with myself in this still, quiet space,
Listen to whispers of passion’s fire,
To rediscover what I truly desire.
For purpose isn’t in paths pre-paved,
It’s carved where courage meets hearts unscathed,
And though I wander, uncertain, unclear,
I trust the compass I hold right here.
I may not know which way to steer,
But each step forward conquers fear,
And in the journey, I’ll find my part—
For purpose is born from the seeking heart.

Now It Clearly Is TRUE... !!!
That You Have To Be SHREWD...
In The Things You PURSUE... !!!
Because Many Will Take You...
Down DANGEROUS Routes... !!!
That Can Take You To Places...
Where You Can Get Traded...
By... Devious DUKES... !!!
So You Cannot Confuse...
The Things That You View...
As Being Cool Moves...
As Those That’ll Bear Fruits...
That’ll Make Your Life Cool...
Because Pursuing Money...
Makes People Act FUNNY... !!!
And Things Can Turn UGLY...
And Make You Feel BLUE... !!!
BEFORE You Get CLUES ...
That You’re Just Being USED...
By Guys Who AREN’T Buddies...
Like Those In The Game...
Where Fame Is What Makes...
These Heads Try To Play...
Your Pursuits Like Your Name...
Can Be Taken In Vain... !!!
Once They Have Been Paid...
At... EXTORTIONATE Rates... !!!
From Acting To Music...
Pursuits Can Be NEUTERED...
BEFORE They Take Shape... !!!
So DON’T You Be FOOLED...
By These Dudes Who Seem Cool...
And Women Who Will Choose...
To Be... QUICK To ABUSE...
When It Comes To Pursuits...
of Cash Flow That Is HUGE... !!!
You Should Know It’s Called LOOT...
Because Moves That Are Pulled...
Can Lead Some Heads To Shoot...
More Than Drug Addicts Do... !!!
Pursuits Can Be CRUEL...
And Be ARDUOUS Gruels... !!!
And I DON’T Mean The Food... !!!
What I’m Meaning Is Gruelling...
As In YES... HARD TO DO... !!!
Like It Is To Pursue...
Being One Who Is Viewed...
As A Gangster Whose Crew...
Will Put BULLETS IN YOU...
Just For Giving Bad Looks... !!!
That’s Right I Mean CROOKS...
Who Police Should Pursue...
Who DEFINE The Word CRUEL...
Who’ll Pursue Til’ Your END... !!!
If You Show DISRESPECT...
Or... EVER ATTEMPT...
To Take Money From Them...
These Are DANGEROUS Heads...
Yes Both Women And Men...
As Well As Some... Feds’... !!!!!!!!
Whose Pursuits Lead To Deaths...
And A Lot of NONSENSE... !!!
Like... Shooting For JOKES... ?!?
Cos’ They’re NOT Funny Folks...
Just Like Joe Pesci Quotes... !!!
So... What About Ho’s... ?!?
Now I DON’T Pursue Those... !!!
Cos They Leave Brothers BROKE...
Because of The Coc’...
That Some Want Up Their Nose...
Just Ask... Al Pacino... !!!
And That Is Not A JOKE... !!!
Now Pursuing Good Women...
Is What Can Bring Children...
And Family Living...
That’s Allied To GIVING...
And LOVING... NOT Killing... !!!
Pursuit of Religion...
Is NOT Far From Sinning...
So Don’t You Be Thinking...
That It Is... Forgiving... !!!
Pursue Your Own Lessons...
Before Your Confessing...
To Someone Whose Blessings...
Are... CLEARLY DEFECTIVE... !!!
Because Their Connected...
To... EVIL Collectives... !!!
Pursue BETTER Headings...
Than Those They’re Selecting... !!!
Which Leads To The Ending...
of This Mental Session...
of... Pursuing Letters...
That Give Good Directions...
As Well As Progressions...
To The Message It’s Sending... !!!
Which Has Left A Few Clues...
About Making SMART Moves...
That Simply... Say To You...
To Mostly PURSUE TRUTH... !!!
Because It’s GOOD To Do...
And Can Help You To FUEL...
... A Life That Is COOL... !!!
But DON'T You Be FOOLED...
There Are Dangerous Routes...
That Can Darken Your Mood...
As Well As Your... World View...
If You... Choose To REFUSE...
To Embrace Being SHREWD...
In The Things You.....

I live deep inside my own head.
I sometimes wonder if I’ll ever make it out.
Alive.
I don’t know what living is anymore.
I’m never fully present.
There’s always a piece of me off somewhere else.
My mind wonders off...
I don’t even have control of it anymore.
I do it subconsciously.
I’ve been in my own head for so long now.
I don’t know where it all began.
Maybe puberty.
When I was in 5th grade I became a “woman.”
I was also hurt deeply by many people that year.
Friends introduced me to things a little girl should never be exposed to.
Then middle school was tragic.
I was hurt more times than I can count.
Maybe that’s when the day dreaming began.
The real world hurt me so badly that I had to create my own world.
My own reality.
After awhile I stopped knowing the difference.
Reality vs Fantasy
What is there to pursue in this reality?
Motivation left me years ago.
I beg her to come back but she never does.
Why should I pursue dreams in the real world, when I can achieve so much more in my world.
I guess that’s why Motivation left me.
She served no purpose in my life anymore.
I now live for the small things in the real world.
Seeing a new movie. Eating at my favorite restaurant. Hanging out with my best friend.
...
I’ll save the big stuff for my world.

My mind blisters,
From the thoughts it contains.
To formulate their verbal representation,
I'd be tasked to break the restraints.
But what an arduous task,
To release such material.
When the thoughts are masked by cobwebs,
Made from freshly cut steel.
Now don't find it unjust,
That my words stay contained.
I yearn to share with you my mind,
But my will has been drained.
To encounter dismissal,
With my newly-found hope,
Holds the excess thoughts hostage,
In bitter pursuit to cope.

because i'm afraid that if i do
my feelings for you are what i'll want to pursue

chase me in a loving way,
and show you want me?

If I'm always the odd one out
I must follow where everyone goes
Regardless whether I want it or not
Just to keep everyone close
I've been conditioned to learn
From others, to always want more
More friends equates to more love
Be more successful than before
But fame and fortune do not excite me
I relish in private solitude
I'm reshaping my view on difference
As a preference I'm willing to pursue

Infinite universes spoken of in a finite verse
It's an injustice of the one's life's lack of justice; one's curse
There's a means of escape with no desire to pursue
When torment keeps dawning, you let it seek you
It's not beneficial to erase the weight on your ankles
When you're free falling into despair regardless

The rain has come
With his beautiful dawn.
I'm waiting you to get home,
Every single day this heart hurted by thorn.
You never show up,
But I never give up.
This heart has been covered up
By the thorn that always grow up.
Finally, you came
With no shame
Saying my name.
You think love is a game.
You claim that you won't be the same.
I won't blame you,
For everything you've done to me.
You dont have to pursue,
Cause I dont want to be like I'm not me.

I know that we can not be
any version of us
will just end with shattered hearts
and missing pieces
I tell myself I am happy
to have a friend like him
someone to share poems with
to share ideas with
I tell my friends
that I don't want to be with him
that it could simply never be
him and I will never work
But every time he leaves
I feel an emptiness
in my chest
a hollow part of me
He fills this void
In a way I have never felt before
and even though I say no
my heart is screaming yes
So I quietly pursue a relationship
I know will destroy me
just so I can feel whole
If only for a minute

Dreams slip away
Fogged glasses
Wind chimes sound
Leaves start to crumble
Wind under feathers shriek
Thrills of the splinters
Each mask worn differently
Those who seek will never find

to the only one who can rest my anxious heart
to the only one who can quiet my foolish thoughts
to the Father that created me
knowing I would turn my back on him
to the one whose arms were open when I returned
to the sweet promises you have always kept
to the one whose pursuit was steady in my wandering
you're the only place I can make my home
so even in the uncertainty I will dwell in you
and I am not sure of almost anything
but I am sure that wherever I go, you are with me

Come over, I'll show you my world.
My world's designed to grasp self-worth
And to embed its purpose in my aging soul.
It's made to rotate and shift from light to dark,
another chance to redeem and to leave a mark.
A thousand heavens flock into one star
And the star smiles subtly at the dying heart.
Obsidian chains coil around the beating heart
and my world is choked but the star
keeps smiling and my world keeps going.
I give and sustain, it lives and maintains.
I will not die in vain because I am
ready for obsidian chains.

Where will I end up? Somewhere
Will I be lost when I get there? Lost
Where am I suppose to be? There
Will it take all that I've got? Cost
Will I know when I am there? Yes
But should I continue? Go
What will i do? Impress
Do I ever settle for less? No
Who will be there? You
And with me? New
Adventures for all the new? True
A new life that will lead to what? Pursue
Pursue things that lead me where? Home
But what should I continue to do? Roam

Elizabeth, I,don’t love you,
But perhaps I could grow to,
If one had the confidence to pursue,
You,
Perhaps beautiful connections would bloom,
Perhaps,
I like your name,
And your face,
And your frame,
And your taste in music is at the very least interesting,
But sending that message to kick it all off?
No thank you and I’m sorry,
To my alternate future self in which I married you girl,
Because I have cut myself off,
It always happens,
So, don’t take it personally.

These three useless words
bang against my teeth,
guarded by my lips they want to be released;
I once swallowed my thoughts to keep them inside,
But it seems my naïve heart has kept them alive.
I'm scared they might escape with every passing smile. I need you and want you to be mine.

We're all looking for a piece to complete the missing one
Searching it for someone
Thinking that it will make me whole
That they have the piece to fill the hole.
But...
I'm confused
I'm troubled
Where to find that thing
That always makes noises like a bell's ring
Pictures already on my mind
But can't see the way to find
Blurry..
Foggy..
Like someone is blocking
To make me see the whole thing.
Thinking..
Sweating..
I'm losing.
Shall I continue?
Thinking that it's already due?
Or
Shall I stop?
Thinking that I might make it on top?
But clearly, can't do it
Because someone has to make it
That it's not only my problem
But it's also them.
Piece that is very important
That makes life significant
We have to find the missing
Or else we are all lies believing
We have to see the truth
In the fog that alters the route
Because this is the only way
To achieve a peaceful everyday
In the world full of deceit
That anyone can't be neat.
We can through it
If we all want it.
Just don't be double minded
So you won't get puzzled.

I Will Pursue
I love you and will die in your love
This is what I am determined to do
I am under you influence just now
This is my stance which I will pursue
No power on earth can ****** you
My beloved I am of your color now
Hand in hand walk thru and thru
My innocent sweet wonderful dove
You are a stream of water I am drop
Existence of drop can just associate
Take me to heart or just **** and chop
My love you are my fortune or fate

Everything that has breath isn't something to last forever.
Time here on earth is limited.
Follow your passion;that very thing that makes your heart skip beats.
Love yourself inside out,embrace your flaws and let them rest in your strengths.
Living life to please others is a waste of breath.
We leave this earth individually and if we have to leave it with regrets then we'll bear the pain alone.
Live in such a way that when you're taking your last breath,your heart will be at peace at its last beat.

Oh my love, don’t be a dove.
Don’t check on me on Facebook.
My posts and shouts, my wonder likes
Don’t check on me on Facebook
For on Facebook I lie
I do not share my deepest sighs
I don’t post them like my pies
for people to imply
On Facebook I don’t say how I think of you
like an unwanted miscue
I don’t say how I wish you’d be bolder
and forget why you’re colder
Alas, there’s no more to discuss
for you had made a pass
because you just checked on me on Facebook

There is meaning within a meaning
Heart always wants to decipher
After unwrapping the myriad layers
With dexterous thinking and imagination
Every meaning is unraveled with time
It’s a labyrinth through which life goes
For the true meaning is hidden always
One who wants to seek passionately
Will trespass all the arduous challenges
Lay hands on the hidden key
To open the cherished door of the heart
True meanings are intricate ciphers
Only the brave heart can decipher them all
