Exceptions kill Idealism.

...

I want to go where no human has gone,
To touch down where no one has stepped on;
Not for grandiose, triumph and mighty ambitions,
But to see what a place is like that’s not corrupted by humans.

The Dance

“This Big Hush” plays in my ears
Its bewitching melody making me reach into my depths;
Slowly I start to become undone
As I decompose to identify every emotion …

Closing my eyes, I trace the fence around my soul…
Pain is tugging at my mind fighting for its survival,
Trying to resurface from its evasion,
As it struggles to embrace my being…

Holding a burning torch,
It takes my hand and escorts me
To where the agitated fervors
Waited for the revival of their destiny…

Anger was the first to reach out,
Then Longing was soon to follow up;
Injury didn’t stay behind
Neither did Sadness nor Grief…

My back heavy with these burdens, Pain pulled me back to itself;
It twirled me around in a swirling dance
Till I felt weightlessness in the heaviness
And in the light I saw the darkness…

You vs Me

To be or not to be –
That is not the question
When it comes to my confusion
And feelings of anxiety.

Considerate of others’ sensitivities,
I am being suffocated
Silently accepting everyone
And everything…

No matter what

Just to give
Just to love
Just to please
Just to relieve

But my heart shrinks
And my soul swells
I feel it tearing to shreds
Bleeding the color of torment…

How can I be unselfish
Without hurting myself?
How can I be selfish
And not hurt anyone else?

Yet at the end of the day
When it really comes down to it
No one can really hurt you
More than you can hurt yourself.

And I tell you

… Do unto yourself
As you would have others do unto you;
…Love yourself
As your neighbour loves you.
