Dream high

Let no fear bind your dreams
Let no worries stop you
Put your dreams high
Higher than the sky

The Downfall of Legacy

Legacy is something transmitted by or received from an ancestor or predecessor or from the past. (Merriam-Webster)

This legacy was ultimate. It had proven its strength throughout the hands of time. It changed dynamically as it preserved its purity. This legacy empowered passion, determination, and decency. It flawlessly danced to the rhythm of the world as it left its print on every stage it had stepped foot on. This legacy stumbled and fell to keep track with the world’s demands.

The world, on the other hand, is very judgmental. It nourished this legacy at one time, yet, it suffocated this legacy at other time. When the world started to be moved by favoritism, this legacy strove to keep up with all the power left in it. When the picture of the future became clearer in front of its eyes, it didn’t stop striving even though it fully understood that no matter what it accomplished, it wouldn’t be enough for the world. It waited in silence for it was just a matter of time before the world voted this legacy out.

…and the world did!

The Jitters Before

Praying and sitting still.
I closed my eyes.
It started moving.
The grasp of my hands was getting more intense.
Butterflies in my stomach, please don't fly out.
Stay still!
Holding my breath and waited.
The surface under my feet was shaking.
I can feel the turbulence now.
I'm flying!

A Thoughtful Sin

My time has come
along with the faraway sound
It demands
It haunts

As forgiving as I am
this I cannot stand
The sound will always remind
what a thoughtful sinner I am
