Yesterday I saw my flaws 

Dancing down the street

And I sat and watched the lot

Stepping to the beat

There was vulnerability, sadness, underestimating capability

But look, here comes negativity

The worst of them all

Now, I journey to positivity

On the way I shall remove them all

There are two paths

One down a long, bright road

This road makes you work hard

But always ends in white brightness

Then there is the other

A dark easy road

It ensures that you never work hard

Make others work for you

Treat them badly, have the last laugh

Except at the end

It almost always ends in jail

Or a broken heart

Do you want to work hard and win at life

Or do you want the easy way out

And end your life with your heart in cage

Your Choice

At the crossroads of life

Sand

The sand is slipping through my fingers

Gravity pulling what is unable to stay 

Through cracks and crevices

It is slipping away

Just like time

Time

The time is slipping away

Through the fingers of reality

The past, pulling it away

The present, trying to hold on

And the future, adding more

To reality’s hand

Making time the endless river of sand

The waves are so still

The wind has silenced

The world has stopped it’s works

The sun grows big

The sun grows red

It is now a red giant

It will swallow us all

We flee to Mars

We will live for a short time

As long as the sun god shines sweet

Before us it will eat

The hard thing in life is not

Homework, normal work, not being able to ask for help

It is trying to breach your limits

Like rock climbing

You touched the last hold with one finger

You’re done

Nope

Hold it with both hands

Then, let go………..

The wind in my face 

The snow at my feet

My board, zipping through the powder

 I’m boardin’ down the mountain

It’s winter

But when I get home

The cherry blossoms are blooming

The bees are buzzing

The birds, their songs filling the air

It’s spring

Wait, didn’t I just say it was winter

Now I’m saying it is spring

That is funky

Warm winter

Cool spring

The world is changing

Everyday

A single rain drop

As light as air

Falling ever so gracefully

Through the sky

Then the sun peeked over

And saw the lone drop

It shined its rays through the little speck

And put some glow in the raindrop’s life

And in return the speck reflected the rays

As a rainbow

So colorful and light

To show the world the beauty

Of sun and rain

The rain is falling

It is pitter – pattering

A frog croaks nearby

One day

My  best  friend’s  mom took me to Macy’s

And bought me a top with a necklace

I took care of it so

And then it was gone

So beautiful & fragile

It broke my heart to see it go

Why is it the ones we feel we will disappoint the most

Are our closet and most caring friends

Our hearts are broken to tell the truth

Just like the broken necklace
