Be

Be Brave and Be Outspoken,

Be Beautiful and Be Wise,

Be Stubborn and Be Heroic,

Be Rebellious and Be Crazy,

Be Strong and Be Kind,

because at the end of the day,

when all is said and done,

you will have no regrets.

Food for thought.

"I'm a weak tower in a flat field,
battling the elements
without a single tree to protect me!"

"Well, maybe you should've
planted more seeds"

I may not be Chinese or Hebrew,
but I can make a proverb.

Wisdom *****

"Use your best judgement."
"when we've already established that I don't know what I'm doing?!"
"Such is life."
"Such is life."

the only thing I've kept.

As it is

If I lose my mind
For like, right now
Will I not like
The tale I got told
Yesterday and before
If it's been told one more time?

Or will I unchoose
The ink color I will use
For the letter I'm going to send
Tomorrow and after
If I was taken to the store again?

I don't think so

Cause will the bird forget how
To sing a good morning
To the sun and dew
If she lose her minds too?

I don't think so

Decision had been made and regret never help, like, ever. So cheers for today! *raise a glass

Wings (Let Go)

Sofia clung tightly to the black tipped violet wings of the tenuous butterfly.
She softly pleaded to the intricate friend.
"Please stay," a tear caressing her cheek,
"don't leave me."
Her mother walked up behind her.
"Oh honey, don't hang onto his wings, you will only **** him."
Sofia turned to her mother's chocolate eyes and quietly muttered,
"Let go of my wings mommy."

Greek meaning of Sofia is "wise"

Where Did It Land

Just a moth of an idea
Fluttering dangerously close to the light

To be killed by enlightenment
Is irony

Having wings does not heighten awareness
It only raises hubris

A life poem

To the sun,
we run
And sometimes,
stun.

To the sky,
we try
And sometimes,
sly.

To the self,
we theft
And sometimes,
left.
