MAMA

Mama
From where did you get your heart
When I look at your eyes
I see the love of God
When I feel your breath
I feel the breath of God

Mama
From where do you get your smile
That when I accidentally hear the sound of your cry
You turn to me and all I see is your lovely smile

Mama
From where did you get your backbone
That never got tired of carrying me
But still supported a water pot on your head

Mama
From where did you get your patience
That watched and waited for me to grow
Patiently weeding out my mistakes of puberty
Forgiving me like they never were
Showering me with love even when I felt least deserving

Mama you are a lesson from God

THE PARADOX

The fact that the reason to hold on is bigger than the reason to give up Does not trivialize your pain The fact that you neither shed a tear nor made a sound Does not mean you never cried The fact that you smiled all through the ceremony does not mean you were happy The fact that you are alive and happy Does not mean you aren't dead A strange ghost animating your body Not your dream self The fact you woke up with a plan Does not mean you aren't drifting through life The fact that you love a song Does not mean it makes you happy The fact that you woke when the alternative seemed lucrative Tells that you have outsmarted the paradox once more

KINDRED

I wish I had a friend Whose loyalty would never bend Walk with me miles on end Be plain and never pretend A cynic who would blend But to me be a kindred A spirit that knows me Keep me and my secrets just as I would  To the very end
