While Trying To Be

Need I my dear son
Show you the light of sun
Or teach you how to croon 
Under a half or a full moon..
You seem to learn and know 
As you live, bond and grow 
How to successful be
While trying to be..

Should I my dear son 
Tell you how to be the one 
Or for you life

DEDICATION TO MY GRANDSON ON HIS GRADUATION

WHATS UP THE WORLD

Our journey began like a joke in 2016,
Things seemed to be moving upside down,
We had miss on to complete before 2019,
We are glad to be wearing crowns,
What's up the world!

Coming from zero to hero,
Was a dream currently coming true,
Our brain weighs more than a kilo,
Displine and respect it is our favorite shoe,
What's up the world!

The Weight of Tomorrow

I sit alone beneath the sky,
Uncle, thinking of your last goodbye,
The world feels heavy, dreams unclear, 
With every step, I carry fear.

Graduation looms - so close, so wide,
But doubt and worry walk beside.
You always knew just what to say…
I wish you could be here today

I Feel Pasts

I feel all pasts,
As if they were yesterday,
Decades are but minutes to my minds and feels.
As if I were still two-tens and five,
Rather than three-tens and two.

Flashbulbs pulsed to songs played when youth was not yet known as youth.

Is today youth?
How could it be when youth was then.

I still feel me in your arms,
And you

AIDEN GRADUATION 2025

This June when you walk down the aisle
For your high school graduation
You will start on your short vacation
You will finally have your degree
And now you will be finally free
You will now begin your new life
And start having a great nightlife
You have to be happy with no more classes
And now you can throw your books in

Growing up

Throwing our caps 
looking back at the last four years
mix of bittersweet moments 
fear creeping in 
nervous about what the future  
feels weird to close this chapter

To CCHS Class of 2011

Though we now go our separate ways,
we do not go alone.
We carry pieces of each soul we’ve met,
and those already gone.

Though memories may blur with time
as life moves ever on,
we’ll all hold fast to one clear truth —
this moment still lives on.

FULFILL AND CONQUER GRADUATION SONG

Through the academic years
The feeling of uncertain and fear
Here I am on graduation day being my personal preserver
The studies were hard and long
I wondered is higher learning where I belong
There were numerous exams
Research papers imaginable 
I got through it all
The lectures were focused on concise being pure concepts
It was “MIND OVER MATTER” that become concrete
I

Graduation

The seed of a flower can be good or bad
Don't think too much about life, and be sad
Understand that the compound will pressure you a lot
Fight through the feeling and land in a perfect spot
Gravitate off the ground, rise through the air
Make the best out of life with an unbreakable stare
Have strength of a lion

Considering my What Ifs

I was going to become a teacher
I thought it was my calling

I was young and thought it best
to go to university straight out of high school
before I'd go to teachers' college

Well... things did not go as planned
for better or for worse, who knows
I got sidetracked ended up taking a job
education got shelved for longer than

A Note on Graduation Day

This day has finally come
Your future has now begun
School days are all you know
Into your dreams you will now grow
Looking back, so many years
Moving forward brings many tears
A whole new life lies in wait
It's up to you which destiny you create
Future beyond, you hold inside of your hand
Inspiration of dreams only you understand 
Your journey

corners

i have walked around corners
when i should have stood still
driven fast in slow zones
and sat at the apex of silent
stone walls

i've said words i meant when i was high
and regretted when i was low
twisted sentences until they were wrung
too dry to matter
and left paragraphs drowning for want of a word
 
my soul aches at midnight
and

Here's to All You Cocksure Grads

  
        Promising to solve age-old problems very soon
           a year or two, at most, from our graduation in June  

	I myself was sure that poverty could be licked right quick
     

congraduations

Our caps flew like confetti.
Thank god I customized mine.
I'll keep it as a memento of all-nighters,
friendships formed in the academic trenches,
dismissive professors and group-project-tortures.

This isn’t another ‘drunk girl’ holiday, despite obvious similarities.
Our parents, sisters, brothers, and grandmothers are here.

We came in doe-eyed, holding overpriced planners,
and enough provisions for two year Mars missions.
We hoped to discover
