Holding on when letting go is less painful
Letting go when holding on is more gainful
These inhibitions… confusions… decisions!
***
strong minds survive
trusting hearts revive
wise souls forgive
***
To remain centered when cornered
may you daily grow
Head held high through life’s lows
May you flow
Κkκ
Disguising frustrations,
Revising expectations,
Missing promises,
This compromise:
***
Hope’s demise,
Life’s premise.
¤Θ¤
Every night I sigh
If only I could
unsay those words
unbreak my promises
unmake my misdeeds;
unhaunted, I would sleep.
***
Undo time, if only,
this one time,
to make it right.

– Santideva
I started off wanting to write to you, to tell you
Of that which you must do, of who you ought to be
Of pretenses to keep up, of people to please, of expectations to live up to,
Of words given, of oaths taken, of dreams dreamt, of things yet to accomplish.
***
But I just want to remind you:
What you want may not always be what you need
What you need do is not always what you ought to
Who you ought be, may not be the best you could be
You can never be perfect, but you can be true to yourself
***
Just remember
This too shall pass.
Pause. Breathe.
You are alright.
You are OK.

a thousand stabs in my heart
by an enemy sworn
than a single stab in my back
by a friend known
∞Φ∞
Until we meet again
Remember our bargain
Smile, for it lights up the night
When we meet again
Dance with me in the rain
once more, in the moonlight.
