Don’t be a dead man walking.
No need to be a sitting duck.
Don’t be down on your luck.
No need to be feeling bad
when you miss all the things
you wish you could have back.
Don’t stare at your reflection
for too long. Change it up.
No need to replay the song.
Move on. Wake up and look
alive. Buy the ticket and enjoy
the ride. Know when to show
and when to hide. Look alive.
No need to slip into the night
when we can just take flight.

Just Wait
Don’t hesitate to wait. Good things
come to those who wait. Divine
powers scour at those who rush.
Those who rush can lose touch
of the things that mean the most.
Just wait. You will see a new start.
You will write many more pages,
poems, letters, and texts about,
and to all the people you knew.
Patience is a virtue, so just wait
for tomorrow to come. Just wait
until this day is done because
the best part has yet to come.
Day Before Last
I’ve counted the days
and now I’ve stopped.
I’ve gone many ways
to get to the top.
I’ve seen the days fly by
in front of my eyes
to only realize
my dream’s demise.
I’ve learned so much –
What to do with it?
Memories go untouched
in a place, they sit.
Three, then two, then one
Now, it is the day before last
And I don’t know where to go.
I’ve lived my days all too fast
with regrets only I will know.
Forefront
What are you waiting for?
For the door to swing open?
Stuck and wishing for more?
For happiness to just happen?
Don’t settle, the forefront is waiting.
Keep pushing towards what is right
And if you ever see yourself debating
Follow your gut and test your might.
Because the forefront is waiting
For a fighter like you
To find solace
And to find the forefront too.
X
The sad truth is that doors stay close
Until it is opened by a powerful force
Making the effort and doing the most
To change without remorse.
