We Aspire, We Inspire

Embrace Yourself

[blazingpoems]

I saw a whale in the ocean,

Big and scary, can devour a man,

Have you wondered why am I giggling?

Because the large being is smiling!

-

I watch the darkness at night,

Cold and deafening, can eat a knight,

How can I spread my arms widely?

Because I know it can't hurt me!

-

The whales are big and scary,

The darkness is full of misery,

Yet I always found a glimpse of light,

Because I see myself with whales and dark nights.

-

I, we— are the dark and the whales,

Lonely with big rays of hope,

Has miseries with big thoughts of worth,

We stand up on our own, we are mighty!

– Khane B.

Tears falling down

With the mind that is being drowned

The darkness that we feel

That makes our heart to be ill

-

But with all of that thing

We should not give up

Because I know we can do anything

With God Almighty that always gives a solution for everything

Don't depend on someone too much,

Try to be independent because someday,

People you depend on will dissapear,

With no trace and you'll be left alone.

-

You'll be a fool following someone's trail,

That you don't even know where to go,

That when someone lures you you'll never know,

You'll never know the way home.

-

You have to do it on your own,

Even if you trip get back up,

Stand on your own be brave,

In the end you'll see the light.

- Althea A. & Carmel K.

You are a drink of blessing and a curse,

Alone yet without worry,

Transparent while remaning a mystery,

A dissatisfaction, but is also a harmony,

-

The sun reminded me of your shiniest smiles,

The shadows reminded me of your darkest battles,

The roots reminded me of your kind heart,

Don't be afraid to let them see your light,

-

This time surrender yourself,

In the garden of fairies and elfs,

The grasses tickling your skin to tell,

Your worth must be out of the veil,

-

Peace shalt come to you,

Everyone is proud of you,

You deserve the world, be merry,

An epitome of a daughter of bravery.

- Mark Vincent R. & Khane B.

In my life, I already encountered many trials and challenges.

Some were easy to manage while others were too much,

That sometimes, you wanted to give up.

There are disappointments, failures,

And even frustrations that I met through my journey.

But I was able to survive it all,

And you– you can make through it.

Let's enjoy the journey together!
