CONTENTION

While the night lies
Tiny drops of water slipped through my mind
The stars had an early nap
Life felt ample quiet after the rain

Exempted to the sound of my heartbeat
Which insisted we stay up late
To have a chance to kiss the night goodbye
A habit I have become accustomed to

The wind is pretty tonight
Maybe it is because the moon asked her out
I could tell, the moment she would not stop talking
So I shutdown the window blinds

With disguise I was already feeling sleepy
But for a moment I felt jealous
I was spending the night alone
Just had a broken relationship

This left me vexatious, as I try to curtail my emotion
At one point, I wished it was a bad dream
I would not have to hide my heart under the pillow
So no one would get to notice

How lonely and miserable life could be
But this is not about holding back my feelings
Not about the complexity of the human mind
But the true perception of an imperfect life

MAKE A WISH

When a child makes a wish
She does so from the depths of her heart
Her mind and thought ignites
Never once lose focus of her dreams
As little such a faith may seem
It never experiences defeat
Because dreams always come true
It is synonymous to our believe
No matter how small
Your dreams look today
It is already taking care of by God
All that remains right now
Is for you to be optimistic and wait
Watch your dreams
As they fly high above the clouds

Happy Birthday

CHASING DREAMS

I have been all my life chasing dreams
But never knew how high dreams can fly
Doubt creep into my mind and stole my wings
I was as sad a broken butterfly

Somehow I found the inner strength to move on
Be bold irrespective of the difficult tide
One day I know I am going to be home again
And my dreams will reach above the sky

Only the weak hearted are sad always
They keep looking right back to the past
Right ahead of us is where the future lies
I do not expect life's journey to forever be smooth

They told me to pull over, my destination is a dead end
But I have made up my mind to feel no fear
I want to become somebody rarified
I will work hard until my strips is earn

Champions do not give up in the middle of the fight
They plan, strategize, and make a way in a barren situation
Wake up the next day relentless and bold
In the darkness they are the light
