Letter From An Immigrant

Dear you,

This day was heavy. Tears have been shed, goodbyes were delivered. Dreams need to be fulfilled, plans need to be acted upon. I leave with a strong mind, a willing heart and a brave soul. I travel a great distance, maybe in half or whole because I think a part of me stays where I orginally come from, the other or the new part perhaps, I still need to build. I wish to be strong in whatever challenges I will encounter, to remember and take my pride in my values and to set my self in humility, to be grateful in all the blessings I will receive. For the people that I dearly love and leave, I pray for you and you all will always be with me.

Missing my country and people, Me.

You Are

You are the shining light I want To see upon waking up. You are the beautiful echo I need To hear after being so silent.

You are the rare chance I want To grab amongst my life's decisions. You are the calmest joy I need To send my heart out of its core.

You are the quietest secret I keep To always remember your promised love. You are the the wildest memory I have The one that keeps my soul alive.

Stay Beside Me

Stay and never let go Stay and cherish our moments Stay and what is in our hearts, you'll know Stay and we'll take it slow

Linger and breathe The beautiful words our hearts converse Linger and delight Our souls' sparkle is ever bright

Treasure and hold on To these red threads we seize so closely Treasure and endure The love we share so honestly

I cry, I bleed Too focus on the bad side of it I weep, I cut Wanting to feel the painful part

I stop, I realize Too selfish, preoccupied in my own self I ponder, I pause Wanting to let go and be free

I thank, I smile Because there are still blessings to be grateful for I look up, I rise Wanting to be at ease and be content

You tell me to be a wanderer You tell me to go to places and see different sights So I travel a great distance, I wonder new ways So I set foot in new house, I wonder other's lights

I doubt, I confuse With what people demand of me I lost, I surrender To whatever my heart is saying

I tell you I am a column I tell you I want to stay  and linger the comfort of home So I sit in my corner and relax and read So I attach my thoughts, I savor the moment So I ease up and breathe, I wonder what feelings to lead

No Mediocre

Feeling ordinary and uninspired, You try to stay away from the limelight. Thinking conventionality is safe, You try to always be fair.

Well it is your time to level up. Rise above the mark and stop The mediocrity, the line the society Is imposing in all of us.

You were born to be special. In your own way, step out and explore. Open the box that holds all the ideas. Try to go further, try to be more.

Take Rest

You are drained, your heart is weary. Your eyes gaze downwards And your face is blank Your silence is on point.

Your burdens are heavy, Seems as though nothing is consoling. Your soul is tired. You were always working hard on it.

Take rest, my child. Know that you are not alone. Understand that help is always there. Feel that you belong.

Take rest, my child. Cast the heaviness of the shadow. There will always be light. Hold on to hope.

Dear Love,

When we first met, I never knew there will be something for the both of us in the future. I thought you were just a passerby, someone who is fleeting in that certain moment. But you stayed and I remember telling myself, hmm “I wonder for how long?”. And then (lucky me), you prefer to be there in those important instances. Thank you for wanting to be here, beside me. Thank you for choosing me. Thank you for reminding me this everyday.

Your always and forever,

Me.

Whatever Will Happen, It'll Happen

People tend to control things They want to handle strongly what is in their grasp It is a human's instinct to somehow direct And steer life into a better direction

Know that there is an unseen force Which holds the supreme control It is something we surrender ourselves From our thoughts to our actions

So whatever will happen, it will happen It may not be now, but eventually it will So let go, set free. Surrender everything. It will bound to happen.

Move Up

Know you are part of something big A wonderful scheme you are ought to find out You may be at the state of confusion and doubt You are allowed to feel it but hope that it is momentary

Everything is passing Everything is brief You do not stay in one place and cling To just one thought or state

Move up Challenge yourself to think out Of whatever is limiting you right now Move up Never silence that inner voice, so shout Of whatever is in your deepest dreams

Dear Love,

I have always wonder what it means to have someone who sees and accepts the real me despite the “masks” I wear everyday. This may sound cliche, but when I met you, the world seemed to deny its natural rotation. I finally found that one person, among the other million, who radiates the same affinity (quite funny though because I was not looking for you from the start). You uncover the authenticity behind my expressions, my thoughts and my words. I can never tell you enough how you made my heart blissful and content. 

Adoring you from afar,

Me.

No Limit

Standing on the fine edge Wanting to climb life's walls Wondering if you can really make it Thinking if it is undeniably doable.

Challenge your thoughts. Challenge yourself so you may start. Free your mind, free your heart. Go out of these imaginary boundaries.

Walk out, walk apart From whatever is limiting you now. Test your heart, always be smart. Go out into the unlimited. Be free. Be wild. Be spirited.

The Unsure Version of Her

She decides, she withdraws. She trusts, she double guesses. She mindlessly talks, she thinks for long. She cleans, she messes.

She is straight, she is shaky. She stands tall, she is wobbly. She is stable, she is weak. She whispers, she shrieks.

She is clashing, she is agreeing. At times, she may be unsure and hesitant. Kind of doubting herself whether she's relevant. This is the uncertain version, her very own person.

To Capture A Dream

I start as someone simple. Contented in what I have, of what I am. I have never thought of moving forward. I have never thought of wanting more.

I begin to wonder. Is there anything else for me out there? I begin to ask. Could there be more to these questions?

It starts with a dream. Discover the idea of it. It starts by wanting it. Capture  a dream.

Conceive it with an open mind Desire it with an open heart. Capture a dream. Capture your dream.

You Calm Me

When you met me, I was at odds Mismatch from my hair color to my toes' polish I was clashing, misunderstood I oppose my own thoughts and my own deeds

When I met you, you were calm Your shirt and your gaze were collected You were serious, sensible Your thoughts and deeds were agreeable

You soothe the storm inside of me.

Daily Reminder

Have you ever felt drained? As if you've been giving all of yourself Like for the past twenty-four hours Have been fully challenging

Have you ever felt empty? As if everything was pulled out of you Like for the past past twenty-four hours Have been arduous

Understand that this is life. You might be unsure of the ending, But the process is what is bringing The strength we have been desiring.

I need you to calm yourself. Breathe soothing thoughts, to mind. I need you to remind yourself. Your truest happy soul, to find.

Serene As This.

I traverse on this sandy ground. Shifting forward, surpassing tiny rocks. I walk towards another view. Different, yet encouraging.

Dissuading steps that lead to you. Traveling thoughts somehow gave comfort. Clear and collected, I need myself to be.

I perceive this lively state. Calming waves beneath this motion. I dream to be as Serene as this.
