  When you are in the depths of despair, And you think you’ve hit bottom, You just keep on plowing deeper. When you don’t see any light at the end of the tunnel, You just keep on walking until you see the shining light. When you think all doors are closed, Even though you knocked on them all Remember, there are doors that will open just for you. When you feel you’re utterly alone, Remember, you’re never alone because God is always with you. Remember you’re a fighter, Remember you’re strong, Remember you’re resilient, Remember you have people to lean on, Remember your faith, Remember, after every storm the sun comes out And we’re blessed with a rainbow.

  The Loss of A Precious Being My heart is aching  I can’t dull the pain I cant forget I can’t accept  The loss is too great I’s been a lifetime But the wound is fresh It’s still bleeding It’s still hurting  There is disbelief There is denial But the reminders Are everywhere Every second of every hour Every day There is no respite No sliver of hope  No panacea No miracle Just agony Just pain

Why Couldn’t I Have Been Simplistic

  Why couldn’t I have I been simplistic, Oblivious, Happy for no reason? Waking up each day joyful  to be alive? Taking it all in, minute by  Fast minute. Going about my day without a care. Watch as wars rage on, for reasons No one remembers anymore. Let hunger and famine Wipe out countless  humans While I have food to waste. Let people be happy wining awards And congratulate each other. Let people feel important Uncovering old mysteries  And finding new answers. Turn  off the TV Ignore the news Scroll past headlines Watch only cute cats  And smart dogs. Watch funny people  Cover their pain  In  jokes older than time Let them sedate us into numbness. Forget about  Death and dying, the mortgage, The bills. Forget about feeling Insignificant  Knowing well we are.    

Loneliness

It creeps up on you   Overtime  in slow motion  Stretching  Unending  You feel parched Hungry  You become mute  It crushes you  You crumble into yourself  You’re pulverized  And  You vanish 
Image
It takes a long time to become self aware Just to know where you are in life, To know who you are,  Where you came from And where you're headed.  You ask yourself  What’s my mission, my goal Must I have one? Is it worth to strive for To spend a lifetime on? At some point in your journey  You discover,  That there are oceans of knowledge to learn Will you have time, should you even try? There is no rational answer. At first, it seems finding love is a child’s play, Then after countless heartbreaks You stop looking, hoping, Or you settle. Then the questions become more urgent, Whats the most fundamental factor in life? What values are paramount? Will I find them? Do I need them? If I find my answers Will that make me happy? Am I happy? Am I fulfilled? Who said happiness is important? Can I be happy when millions are miserable? Why do humans exist? Is there a divine purpose? When will we end? It’s a life time of struggle To find answers Then your time’s up.

A Speck In Time

  A Speck In Time I said,"I feel so lonely" She looked at me with empty eyes And sipped her coffee. I sat there looking at my phone. I said I should go, I left my dog alone.

I'm Simply Human

Alone, isolated, forsaken. Miserable. Burdened with duty, Defeated utterly. Powerless. Guilty. Guilty of feeling self-importance. Guilty for feeling this way, Surely, compared with the multitudes I have the least suffering. What's more, I am conscious of their misery. I listen, I read and see The tragedies that befall humanity, The devastation of wars, The loss of thousands of lives Loss of country and home The brutalities inflicted on innocent people. I see the insatiable greed of dictators That will not be satisfied  Even by the blood of children and the young. I witness the poisoned minds of zealots Fed by their false prophets Out to destroy lives, values and democracy. And I am one of the multitudes That feel this pain. I'm tormented I can’t be happy with my blessings, My fortuitous ordinary life. Because I am simply human.
