#‎Day5_Humility‬

Am addictive
Am a disease to you
For I will cease you
So bad like the bad habits you keep committing
Thinking you are alone and self-righteous
But no! You are not alone
Am right there
Next to you when talking to your shadow
Yes right next to that piece of stone
That piece of cloth
That piece of habit you won't let go of
Right there pleading with you to listen
But my voice so small you hardly notice my disappointment
So small so soothing so comfy so much that you still disappoint me
Am only like a ring to you
That's right
The only thoughts of me are filled with confusion
Confusion from the things you never knew
Things that now you know
But since am a disease to you
You only want me gone
Disappear like a bad memory
But no! I am right here
Right next to this bad memory you lost
Yet you still want to pick it up

For you like your bad memory
You my friend, you are lost
Unable to find yourself
So who else should do it for you?
Yet am still here
Right next to you
Right next to this last piece of negativity
Right next to that old stocking you still reuse

Am that feeling when you satisfy someone else
But yourself feel all left alone
When they all seem to get their answers
All from you though yourself, you are lost!
Lost for you don't know why
Why it is that you are angry at yourself
For having no answers to your questions!
Why nobody is here for you
But am here
Right next to you
Right next to that load of ages you want to lift

Am not old, am young
Just like we used to tell ourselves
Whenever we wanted to get away with anything
Cried once in a while to make them buy into our selfishness,
But they still fell prey
Remember when we wanted that new movie
About that Potter boy! When it was new new!
I still recall how we made them buy it in a heartbeat
Those were the days we dreamt
Of things we wanted for us when we grew taller
Yes that's how we used to call being a grown up
Or big people!
I still think Big people sounded Huge!
Yes you were the dumb one
I still recall that one too
But remember I liked to try new things
Huge wasn't new to you!
Not huge!
I wanted us to travel the world in 80 dreams
And more!
Remember?
That's who I am
Am that younger self of you
That humble girl
That humble boy
That humble kid that only wanted the best
I want us to be humble once again

And dream, Once again
And live once again
Humility

#‎Day7_Respect‬

You wake up to her cry Try to snooze away but she keeps trying Trying to have you hold her, talk to her, talk with her How you ask? She gives you the world and a lot more for you to add To your solitude since that is how small your circle has become But with her you are fulfilled She loves it when you touch her Swipe her dress to ogle at her lingerie For here the entire world comes to bring their folly They troop in masses to pin their notices Of how well or not life is treating them They feel free having their linen out here You hesitate! Cover her up hurriedly to answer a call A call of nature, she speaks to you, you speak through her Then you rest your anxiety and keep swiping, touching Tapping... But it is only a phone Your phone, her phone, his phone and every other phone Taking you to a world of information Laying all the good and bad to you in split seconds This is the information era Like the other eras past, we live for now But we are alone with oursel...

My sweet sixteen is gone Don’t get me wrong She was here yesterday Plus she is under age So get your thoughts out the gutter And let us speak about what is right Done right Since it is the right thing to do That never gets old, Doing right! So tell me about how it feels To walk inside a gorge On empty feet. Walls all shiny from the alluvial marble Can’t touch yet, I can only marvel At how something this oldStill looks this bold And beautiful So I keep walking further in along the silty wet floor Warming my feet with every inch down this abyss Any flowers!? No, just marble! I need something to take to the core That soft spot warming this gorge No! it’s just air, only air warms this hole As the path grows narrower With every step I take lower! The marble walls start to melt As I slithered off the now slippery floor I need to catch a breathe So I dash back out and put on some skaters I have to get to the core! Plus the floor is going soft on me. Last time we...

#‎Day13_Learn‬

Well-manicured gardens with fountains flowing Into the Lillied ponds, home for the double-horned fishlings Wide pavements covered in brushed slate stone With trees meticulously arranged on either sides A walk through this sure felt heavenly and a ton more This went on and on for a hundred acres a lot more Into the horizon With a mansion built of hard timber To carry the massive pagoda A fortress An Emperor’s palace In a land far away into the sunset Scarlet and purple donned the interior With an occasional gemmed chandelier Dangling freely off the artsy ceiling Royalty Everything well placed, it was pleasing Maidservants bowing respectfully As the Emperor’s son leaves for a journey To a land where the sun rises He probably got fed up of the sunset! So he wanted something more As he walked through the campus corridors During an orientation tour A professor paused and sought to know What was it that impressed him most in this far away land! Well the shape of your ...
