#strive
The tears that can make reality slip away
from the chaos
The raging attacks where the Palestinians can desperately ask for dire support
Who will take action so the
Palestinians do not feel betrayed?
Turning to Allah and
Seeking for answers and
An end to calamities
This chance to change this Battle around
and side with the Palestinians
Who will make the strive?

My worst fear?
It's not death,
neither is it losing
a loved one.
It's not even snakes,
which I have
a terrible phobia for.
Neither is it breakups with people.
It is that I die
a mediocre and
a failure.
Nothing terrifies me more.

She seeks purpose in herself,
to become great,
to make a mark on the world
as so many have before.
Oh how she writes
till her hands bruise,
carving her name to history
Is it too late to be a prodigy?
To be a muse?
To be inspired,
alive,
young,
hopeful?
Is it too late to erase
the writing on the communal wall?
How she longs to be remembered
Strives to someday write words as heavy as they.
And how is it that with so few words her heart would be in your hand

Do you want to be a man?
If you want to be a
man,
then stand up for your belief.
Stand up for your right.
Give up your goodness
and give up your
pride.
The people will spit,
will cry,
will run.
Do you let that
be who you are?
No.
You.
Can’t.
Do you let the
allegatory
build your throne?
Do you wish
for your name
to be set in stone?
For the good?
For the wrong?
For the lie?
For the truth?
For the
gladiator
they will make
of you?

The moonlight shines upon the starry streets,
Silver elves travel through the empty night.
Sad eyes swept over by the liquid screen
Dream about misty dock and the green light.
The young prince trades sunflower, mad and bold,
For his danger solitude in the yard.
But to know that the stone would not be gold
Shapes the pyramids with a golden heart.
Every leaf talks and heard by the Greek Gods,
Whispers to Muse, you're sweeter than most.
Then verses and curses swim to my box,
Insomnia 'n melancholia make me boast.
To make a final grab before she leaves,
Winding roads diverged ere one achieves.

To that intentional person i know
The delicate sun flower hidden behind the thick forest
In a wood of carcass
Cheers to your true intentions
For seeing beyond the shores...
I know to you, its more than just words
Every uttrance has an ulterior motive
You suffered betrayal at a young age,
Now you're gobsmacked by the first act of kindness
Life is never fair you believe
My dear! Its time!
Time to stop your insecurities from driving
For you're firece and pre-determined
Indeed life is short, so live it
Live while you still exist, and exist while you still live
Take those risks, for they just might be your big win
Remember!
Your help lies outside the four walls of your home.
You need to seek it!
Valour are not just a word of vigor,
You need to act it!
Live to learn and learn to live
To survive, you have to strive. So let that sink!
The accolades comes when you get to the top
Be the cheerleader of your little wins
For nothing tops little sgin that show your work in progress. You need to believe it.
And try to win, before life wins
For in the end, it still does.
Bellah

DEAR PENPAL PEOPLE, I hate this color:)
from the couldn't write to the couldn't sleep
almost questioned the revenge from the read
to have the crumbled skin kiss the red
the lost bitten nails got teared and fed
pastel in capital letters on sand
the cruel wave washes in no clock hand
an orange flee for your life
leave a trail to follow and strive

Living life with no regrets,
Isnt about not regretting what you do
Its about striving not to do anything regretful

"why are we always trying so hard?" my eyes shift towards my mother, and i say "when we are going to die anyways."
"beti," says my mother as she walks up to me and sits next to me holding me in her arms, she continues "it's because most of the time we're striving so hard isn't for ourselves, it's for the people we love."

I dont think I've been here before
And it frightens me,
The amount of anguish that resides in me
Since childhood, I've learned to numb the pain,
However, this one pierced through to my lungs and stole my breath,
As I smile at you cheerfully and full of glee, there beneath the facade, lies a dejected me,
Somehow, my numbing agents wore off, and this dismantled me.

Work on you brand God intended for you.
Focus building a team with the same goals as you.
Become an asset with your spouse who believes in your creativity.
Don't come around if you're only a liability.
Key to success is faith, focus, & being fierce.
Not a "9-5" job that includes a 4-year degree.
At the end of the day,
It really is what you know & who you know that becomes important.
Pay attention to all signs & don't forget this message in the morning.

I was stronger than I thought
earlier today,
Not my strongest anyway
for tomorrow,
I strive to grow.

New at trying to be a poet?
Well so am I and terrible I know it
But I love to write
And one day I just might
Compose a master piece
So until then I will never cease
And I encourage you to do the same
Even though others my think us lame
Write away new poets
For one day you’ll be great, I just know it!

Mentally, i'm uncomfortable
Physically, i'm uncomfortable
Financially, i'm uncomfortable
I am an uncomfortable black man!
So yeah, i want to give up.
Until i remembered my sticky note on the mirror... "Have faith".
So I keep walking

Generosity is not in giving what you have aplenty
But in sharing what you lack
Altruism is in balancing the scales of suffering
Even if you have only half a sandwich
Then two people
Are only half hungry

Cracked China cup
At a chipped table
Stained cloth dressing
Do you still see
Beautiful
Tell me now
As broken candles
Burn
On
Down
Broken things
See broken things
And cracks hide
Truth
I see you
This crack’ed thing
And I see you
Beautiful
Lovely you
Cracked
But not outdone
They try to
Break you
Take you
Because you’re the only
One
A cracked cup
That runneth over
But
Can still hold your
Own
Oh precious
How you’ve grown
Setting a place that
You deserve
I pray that
You are filled
Cracks only
Show
When you can’t
Hold
But I’d gladly hold
You

Faded glory
Prayers on slim fit jeans
Foreign to victory
Leading to second story pleas
Can you hear her?
Despairing with whispered screams
But tears don’t answer
The many questions they bring
Faded glory
$20 when on sale
See the story
Of the strongest of the frail
Can you see her?
Wishes to fly, though she barely crawls
There’s a glimmer
Prevailing amidst the falls
Faded glory
Well worn and stretched to fit
Constant weathering
Pushing on till something rips
Can you feel her?
Is there a choir that recognizes her song?
Are you a singer?
Are your jeans ripped but still on?

I'm grateful
You've been faithful
Time after time
I'm grateful you don't work within the limits of my mind
I'm grateful that I don't have to strive
That your blood was enough to cover my life
And the multitude of sin that I try to hide
That you already won the fight
That the Son has irreversibly pierced the night
That I never have to prove I'm right
Because you proved everything when you chose to die
I'm grateful for all that you've done
And all that you haven't done

Maybe that's what I've been doing wrong
So fiercely I've been holding on
Perhaps this is why I struggle so
Why my happy ending never shows
I want to prove to the world this love is true
But when I stop and think I've never been happy with you
I told myself over and over "it's just me"
"You're wanting too much"
"This is enough"
But maybe.... just maybe
It isn't... and that's ok...

just a little more,
I should wait.
just a little more,
I will strive.
just a little more,
I will fight.
but,
just a little more,
I will stop.
just a little more,
I will give up.
just a little more,
I will die.
just a little more,
just a little more.
