The Battle

Today begins a new trail I must travel on

One that seems so familiar, I am forced to carry along.

These troubles that have raised me up,

From under the depths where I felt there was no luck. 

I must fight these battles like the WARRIOR I am

There is no other way to reach stable land

They say they know but they don’t understand. 

It isn’t quite easy, dare to take my hand?

A long quest must be travelled through, are you ready?

This one is sure a fight, hold on keep steady. 

The Purpose

Trying to get through the battles I am forced to face,

This wasn’t going to be easy, it is almost like one difficult race. 

So many roads I went down in these times,

Not sure which is the right way, when will I find that sign?

Looking back, I have to admit there were plenty of twists and turns,

How did I make it here? I know there have been lessons learned. 

You might not see what I can through these eyes,

But there’s no need, this vision is my own, I only hope to rise. 

Getting past the struggles, I only hope for better days,

Hopefully the time will come when all of these steps lead to the perfect open stage. 

The Ticking Clock

The clock goes forward when it comes to time,

But the memories just keep on repeating in my mind.

Not looking back and regretting what’s happened,

Surprised I’m still able to get to this spot after all the crying and laughing. 

There were some good times that had been experienced 

Still, I can’t help but think of the ones that held me back with bad feelings.

The trains getting to the next stop but am I going to be ready?

I’m trying to keep my head up, making sure I’m walking steady.

Those who don’t understand will not have their arms open,

But still, be prepared for that one before the door closes.

Life’s Path

Round and round in circles I’m trying to follow my feet,

Can’t keep my eyes off the ground, I’m not sure where they will lead. 

Every year, I present myself with the same pressing question,

“Will this be the time when I could finally stop guessing?”

Where am I supposed to be going at this time?

So many answers I’m looking for that I just can’t find. 

It’s okay to be a bit frustrated not knowing where the road goes,

One day the answers will become clearer and unfold. 

Warriors must always remember it will not be easy,

I must keep my head up & continue believing

That it will all come out the way it’s meant to be,

It’ll all work out to what’s best for me. 

Writer’s Block

I’ve come so far along this road but still I’m not close,

What’s the next move? Where do I need to go?

Running around in circles, jumping up and down,

I try to scream but it’s like no one hears a sound. 

How could we become this way? What’s the big problem?

I’m just trying to break out my roots, I want to blossom. 

So many roads that have been torn and broken,

When will my view become clear? When will they listen to what I’ve spoken?

It’s not easy, I have to realize there’s a long way to go,

Don’t give up, keep rising HIGHER and try not to look below.

TRIUMPH Over DEFEAT

Running thoughts in my mind as the days pass by,

Wondering when will be the next time I’m going to take flight.

It’s been so long since I’ve been able to walk through the streets,

They’ve become so abandoned due to all the madness we’ve had to defeat. 

There is so much more we have to learn,

Never give up because there is a lot to be earned. 

More rough roads we must go down in these times,

Don’t give up, it will be all worth it down the line. 

We must stay STRONG, this isn’t a time to feel like we are weak,

We will win this battle, it will be TRIUMPH over DEFEAT. 

Trapped

Stuck behind these walls not knowing which way to go,

I’m running around in circles trying to clear this path alone.

It’s become so hard to come to a final answer,

When I’m given so many options on how to reach the end faster.

But do I really want to get there all by myself?

Or would I need someone by my side who I can tell,

Where I want to go or where I want to be at the end

This rough path will take some time to mend.

A Race With Time

Staring at the sky wondering where has the time gone?

Slowly wasting away it seems, what is there left to be done?

Not knowing which way is right,

Mind telling me it’s almost time to take flight. 

But where will I be going, I’m so lost in thought,

So many inner battles I have subconsciously fought. 

How could I keep going? How much more time do I have?

I don’t know what to expect, looks like time is running fast. 

Expectations

Where did the time go? It’s passing me by so quickly,

Wishing it would slow down, before my mind starts drifting.

So many struggles but I refuse to give up,

Something is telling me to keep trying, I just might have some luck. 

I could see now the rain slowly drifting away,

Impatiently waiting to reveal a much brighter day. 

This path I was given I must be ready & prepared,

For what comes my way I will not be scared

In any way because that just means I might lose sight of my destiny.

Reflecting

Stuck in my mind with these wandering thoughts

Reflecting on where did you go? I’m almost feeling lost.

Seems like just yesterday but it’s been so much longer

When I continue thinking of you, I just begin to wonder

Was it the wrong time? Or was it right? 

I couldn’t seem to understand the plan I was wishing to unbind 

Still trying to keep it together as I walk down my path

Will it ever come to a time that it will last?

What happened after the day that we met? A smile wouldn’t leave my face

Just thinking of you now, that feeling does not seem to go away. 

Isolated

Staring at these walls surrounding me and I am wondering,
“Where did I go wrong?” As these clouds in my mind begin thundering.
Pacing back and forth, watching the clock tick by,
Will I ever make it? Or am I running out of time?

I might’ve made some mistakes but I am still learning,
That should never stop, until I receive what I have been yearning.
“What is that?” you ask, well you wouldn’t understand,
I tried to explain myself in the best way I can.

Maybe someday you will realize how I feel overall,
And be able to save me before I’ve reached my downfall.

Love Blind

These thoughts of you continue to invade my mind,
Could this be happening? Have I become love blind?
It’s almost like I’ve been swept off my feet,
I lost my balance, I was hoping you could capture me.

Take me into your arms & express your love for me with sweet nothings.
I'm at a loss for words right now, my heart rapidly pumping.
It is definitely a feeling I can no longer neglect,
My Love you can only imagine, this feeling I did not expect.

I hope you know, there are no regrets or concern,
And I’m not demanding to receive the same in return.
I must confess though, there’s more I want to share with you down the line,
But until then, these beautiful thoughts will have to remain in my mind.

Endurance

Hello there beautiful young girl,

Lost in this corrupted world. 

Life has brought you many troubles,

No worries though, you are able to conquer these struggles. 

Trying to find the perfect antidote,

Isn't so easy but surely, you can go into drivers mode. 

But take your time girl, no need to rush,

The end results are going to be filled with much happiness & love.

Eventually, you will find the right path,

Those frowns you've had most certainly won't last. 

Smile through it all, remember it'll be just fine,

Be prepared for the twists & turns as you go for this last, crazy ride. 

Dear Lover

You were able to keep a smile on my face throughout the day,

There isn't much you need to do now for me to be amazed. 

I'm loving every moment that I get to share with you in this time,

It seems like this match is great, we'll see how it goes down the line.

We know not to travel down this love road so fast,

As long as we take the effort to make this union last. 

Days are going to pass by with more loving connections,

I am definitely blessed to be crowned with your affection. 

We can never expect too much from one another,

I will support you down the line for sure, dear lover. 

You never expected this encounter to blossom I bet,

I know that I am grateful for it, and as for me, there are no regrets. 

Mending

Nobody's perfect, I hope you know you're worth it,

We'll never break apart again, you're meant for me until the end.

There's always a thought of you that tends to cross my mind,

I believe we're meant to be, this connection is sure to build over time. 

No love lost, more love found,

I await for my king to have his queen crowned. 

Don't rush too fast, progress will certainly be made,

The amazing outcome will be shown throughout the days. 

Looking back, there were slight missteps that were taken,

Yet now, the results we receive will be beneficial as long as we're patient. 

Everything could be amazing as we go down the line,

I await for the day when you are completely mine. 

The Maze

She is numb, unresponsive, she has allowed too much,
Dragged through the mud, she's had more than enough.
Life's lessons have delivered her to a new realization,
Her mistakes now causing her to become less patient.

Despite her best fight, the familiar continues to occur,
Lost with no resolution, she cannot make them deter.
Conscious of the above, she continues to follow this maze,
Left turn, right turn, can you help her find her way?

She has relentlessly requested for assistance with this,
Clearly, she must fight alone and single-handedly dismiss.
The warrior left speechless, the knight without her sword,
How can she find her most prized possession, the piano's last chord?

Dear reader, are you confused? Can you identify with this story?
Goodness, what will you do? You can't predict the usual glory.
The maze is full of roses and thorns she unfortunately looked past,
Thorns that have caused her to bleed, these thorns have blinded her past.

Scratching against her skin, yet she does not feel the pain,
Numb to the badgering, deaf to the melody, temptation she cannot restrain.
Her conscious and subconscious are constantly at war,
The music which always saved her has been muted furthermore.

Life's Journey

There have been times when you thought of yourself as regret,

Yet you will always have an amazing face one could never forget. 

You can also try to believe you are a strong soldier who won't fall,

Truth is, there will come a time where you will not stand so tall.

Don't get discouraged though, by the words being thrown at you,

Like an arrow, your aim is forward & will hit the target when it is due. 

You will also learn to gain the patience to forgive, 

But you must make sure the mistakes you've made aren't relived.

It's all about the progress you will be able to show,

The knowledge you have been receiving may help you on the go. 

No need to run fast, it is alright to take your time,

In the end, all is forgiven as you reach for the last, successful climb.

Lovers & ...

Hey there love, you hold a place in my heart,

Throughout time, there's no way that we can fall apart. 

It doesn't matter if we've had such a crazy past,

We will always have a connection that will last. 

I'm going to show you the benefits of being a lover to the end,

But first remember, I will also provide you with the love of a best friend. 

It can't always be something that becomes so perfect,

Down the road, we're going to know that it was worth the risk.

No worries though, I can never tie you down with a restricting ball & chain,

I just want you to progress & pave your own wonderful lane.

I'll make sure to smile whenever we embrace each other,

Because through it all, you're as much of a friend as you are a lover. 

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

There will be GOOD days where you bask in all the joy & fun,

Be aware of the crazy path because in the end, it may cause you to run. 

They can create some times that you will recklessly enjoy,

Then, you will begin using life as an unbreakable toy. 

But once you see your precious "toy" crumble & break,

You have to face the BAD outcome due to the steps you were forced to take.  

Try not to be consumed by the whirlwind of miscommunication,

Cover your ears to tune out the negativity within this duration. 

What lies behind you is the UGLY road that has been paved,

Now comes a time where a new journey must be made. 

You've made it through plenty of different struggles in this life of yours,

The war may be conquered throughout all the pain you've had to endure.

Within The Storm

You feel like you don't know what you are doing,
And the social life can be quite a big influence.
Try not to get caught up in all the crazy propaganda,
Your pride will be lowered if you soak in all that negative banter.

Just take it easy & don't travel down the road of life so fast,
There are certain milestones you'll come across that won't last.
No need to worry though, it will turn out just fine,
Remember, everything is not perfect as you go down the line.

Keep that head held HIGH young, beautiful soldier,
The strenuous battle you've fought will diminish as you grow older.
You are recognized for the accomplishments you have earned,
Be sure to smile within the storm as you wait for the sun to return.
