It's been a while since I wrote a poem, so I'm glad to share this piece with you today. I actually don't know how I came up with this... at first, I was simply feeling the vibes around me... trying to use the objective clues I could find to start and it just went on and on until I finally created this. I call it, A Worthwhile Life. Enjoy the poem!
A WORTHWHILE LIFE
Ignoring the tornadoes forming at sea
It's as if I'm in pure bliss
Is this what you call an abyss?
Droplets of water falling from the sky
Covered the tears forming in my eye
What is this feeling and I wonder why
As if I'm listening to an eternal lullaby
The pain I've gathered throughout my life
The vessel holding it; sliced by a knife
I feel my burden becoming lighter and lighter
Emptying the vessel carried me higher and higher
Clearing my mind, I took a deep breath
Do better things happen after death?
This question suddenly crossed my mind
Though I know the answer's impossible to find
I need to move on and embrace the truth
That in life, everything wouldn't be as smooth
Let's enjoy the bumpiness of every road we take
A worthwhile life; let's all try to make!
I was merely describing the weather and how I felt at the moment, when I suddenly thought about these things. Anyway, life is never easy... but I guess that's a good thing. Of course, I long for a great and wonderful life full of just happiness. However, when I look back to all the things I've been through so far, I realized that without the bumpy rides and failures, I wouldn't be this strong. I wouldn't be able to stay calm when irregularities happen... but because of all the things I've experienced in the past, I am much more ready to move forward!
Draft for this poetry piece... haha
A few days back, I and my friends had dinner together at home as we celebrated my papa's birthday. We talked about various things about life and love over food and drinks. We all have our individual challenges. One might be easier than the other, but still we are given these obstacles to clear in life. One thing though, even if we have individual challenges, we can always support each other in any way we can. That's what friends and family are for. We're never alone... we just have to be with the right people... and also, be the right person for others. :)

There was also an interesting comment given to me by my friend's husband... when we were talking about being in a relationship, he bluntly told me that the reason why I'm single is that I'm selfish. I just laughed because it's true. Some might thought that it's because I wasn't over someone or that I'm not ready... but honestly, I just don't want to because I want to enjoy my own time and my own hobbies. I am selfish in a way that I want to make my dreams for myself and my parents first.
Even if I do like someone and I haven't gotten rid of my feelings for him, it's no longer the same as before. Perhaps, I just like him as a person but I don't really see myself being in a relationship. haha I and Jintan even swore to be single forever... though I wonder about him... well, he's getting busier and busier with work these days, but who knows? LOL I am a free soul. <3
Anyway, let's all enjoy life and everything included in it. Living our life is difficult, but it's just difficult, right? It's never impossible! See you again and have a great one~!!! (_)/
