WHY OF LIFE

I pick each day like a purse full of gold coins

I sometimes forget how lucky I am to wake up alive

But sure it is more blessing than can be imagined

To just open eyes to daylight

A brand new chance to do better than yesterday

I may never change the past and the things that hurt me

But I can change the things to come by my choices

I can still choose who  I will be when I close my eyes and can't open them

When the future is no longer important for me but the past

You wonder why I work so hard looking at my last act

Why every minute seems to paint a heart that would look excellent posthumous 

I hope to live every minute as real as I can

I true congruence with what my heart believes

It is the hardest thing to do but nothing feels better

Life is a chance to be happy and to please my soul more than anything

But it only matters if all I do does not make my soul satisfied

Worshipping God would be a dishonest act if it does not make me truly happy

Tearing from my truth would be an act of disloyalty to my existence

Living is a perpetual chase of excellence

An investment in a possibility of social, physical, emotional and spiritual comfort

My truth is living for the best person I could ever be when the curtain closes

WHEN WORDS WOULDN'T SPEAK

When words have nothing to say But the heart is full What would speak for you? What would speak to you? When the quiet of a heart And the sound of a meldy Would resonate with your truth That words could never say When you have to quietly shout to the world Silenltly tell your story What would speak to you? What would talk to you? When the chrip of birds And the rumbling of a waterfall Would not speak to you When quiet would not do What would speak to you? What would talk for you? What would authentically tell the world your story Authentically Not hiding a single note of the rhythm of your heart What would tell the world your desire Your fears and terror What would speak to you? What would speak for you? An old melody That holds a memory A sound that holds a longing That knows the notes of your heart Would that speak for you? Would it speak to you?

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
