Angel Gaju Poem
I DON’T CARE
The feeling that I once had
When rejection pierced
Pain that alienated me
Made all peopled places blurred
A pain I felt for years
One word drilled into my ears
Penetrated into my heart
Fused deep into my thoughts
My body turned to a whale
My legs felt heavy to walk
Why hurting me this much?
Is it true what she said?
Am I ‘a hypocrite’?
Is it that much visible?
I really can’t tell if it’s true
No one likes to be called
What she thinks she isn’t
I’m not a hypocrite
Only a direct person
Here me out,people!
I keep it real and true
That’s a promise to myself
I may be whatever you want
But I’m honest and loyal to myself
When I walk by,you stop and stare
Well,keep looking,cause I don’t care
I have my own life and taste
One thing I know
I won’t try to please you
Or create a smile that never existed
What can I do?Nothing
Change people’s minds? Impossible
Only do I know the truth of my identity
Continue living the life
As if no one else is around
My weapon to use
Just keep on contributing my part
And keep the chin up
Cause ”I don’t care”anyways.

Angel Gaju Poem
A FIGHT THAT NEVER ENDS (me and my soul)
Into the living sea of waking dreams,
Where there is neither sense of life or joy,
Who am I, you ask?
I painfully cry, no grand illusions,
No place to go, Destined to stay here
I’m a rollercoaster of emotions
As you walk down in your life
Oceans of tears falling down in heavy droplets
The mouth of the earth can’t wait to swallow more of your tears
You stopped and looked for a way
Although your salty tears are laced with rage and heartache,
Let that experience break you open and rock the inside
Shaking, trembling, yet full of life
Be aware of your own strength, Soul
Do not put your healing on hold any longer, my sweet soul
Stop indulging in pain,
Feeding yourself with the agony of another soul’s lack of love
The scattered pieces of your heart will heal
And your enclosing love will again seep the corners of your soul
How can I see the rain bow when it’s dark all around?
Tell me, How can I just stop and interpret these feelings?
Inside I’m crying, Outside I’m smiling
No one even notices,
It’s hard for me to control all the battles in me
When you see me walk by
It doesn’t look like it, but grand illusions only
Because crying is all I can do
The sensation of pain is all I can feel
When even the dearest that I loved the best
Are now strangers, forsake me like a lost memory
I’m a hater of ignorant people and liars
I’m- yet what I am no one cares or knows
I’m a lost soul, a naïve soul
I’m one who has felt and had enough
Why do things always happen this way?
Why doesn’t my heart choose to stay closed?
Why can’t you feel my pain?
This is all I ask, Soul
Help me walk through
Yes, you are right
People in life, come and go, even the beloved
Life flies away by night before your eyes
People live you to fight alone
You lock up your heart and throw the key
To see if there will be who bothers to pick them, none
Through it all, you wouldn’t change a thing
Transform your pain into creativity sitting dormant in your bones
Be tender and gentle with your experience,
Acknowledge every emotion,
And refuse to diminish this delicate, beautiful Soul

Angel Gaju Poem
ART, MY PLATFORM
I art, therefore, I am
Let your life be your Art
Something you paint with your heart
Taking care to make every part, a symphony of colors
The way your feet lovingly graze the earth
Like paint stroking on the canvas
Sketching the soil, each step with prudence
You were born with this Craft, this inner beauty
You don’t need to collect praise
For that Art fills up from inside
Let your life be your Art
Moving and being moved
The totality of mindful moments
Continue to paint your actions unexposed
For it to be, a masterpiece to share and behold.
Can I believe that these feelings can turn into a beautiful thing?
That after the storm, I can see the rainbow glowing again?
Just melt into grace
Cry, scream and laugh
This is where you begin, again
You’re strong enough to let love in, so don’t let it go
Running gently, Screams of laughter
Dancing stars, my golden heart
My sands of time will bring about inspiration
Using all that God has gifted me with
To recreate the promised
I hope my life is never desolate
That it lacks art
That would be the only poverty
I would find intolerable
La vie est une oeuvre d’Art
Un reflet de toi, et un voyage que tu dois suivre

Angel Gaju Poem
Just the other day, I had drawn an imaginary castle
I knew all the pathways to the glittered dreams
As I got nearer and nearer to touch
The dreams started blurring with reality
The pathways got narrowed down, even for the sun to gaze
the wicket closed off me
Despair overshadowed my life
As I ambled in the lawn
The moat delighted with the reflection of the sun
There is no such thing as ‘lost hope.’
When ‘life’ is still there
That’s when a new life commenced as I awoke.
There is nothing to fear but fear itself
All that glitters is not gold
I chose to dip my whole self into the unknown
Into the sea of the likelihood
For each day to have a new and different sun
To have an endlessly changing horizon
We’re all on a quest for true significance;
real encounters; inner peace and inspiration.
You will take my hand, make no mistake
Just like the sea shimmering in the sunlight
Well, I’ll take what you give and
oh, so much more, ‘cause
The fear of the unknown,
Does not scare me anymore.
I wonder what on Earth the waves might bring...

Angel Gaju Poem
A friend, An enemy
Birds singing lovely songs,
Holding each other in love
Literally, one has the union.
Trusting the beloved,
Realizing they are stony-hearted,
Pretended you don't exist,
Your pain means nothing
Ignorance is their motto
I thought grass was greener
on the other side
A desert is where I belong
No one to rely on,
No one relies on the bird
You, yourself, a treasure always
Self-love and admiration knocks
The bird won't stop singing,
A heart won't stop pumping blood,
Strength is the reward,
Heartless, self-centered is thy enemies
Cruel world, cruel birds
Ain't afraid of them anymore
Strive to be a good bird always.

Angel Gaju Poem
I was blinded by you, O empty life
Your sweet destruction filled me
At some point, I became my master of it all
I engulfed myself in your sugary poison
Many illusions knocked spontaneously
I knew one thing “Life was only about me”
Peace, Happiness was for me to run after
Success and friends were mine to gather
After a long laugh, that seemed to never end
Brokenness, Emptiness popped in
Friends disappeared, as if the earth had swallowed thee
Possessions flied away into a wild eagle
Everything deserted, falling out of place
When every aspect of life seemed lost
All that was needed to open my eyes
A touch that lifted my soul again
A feeling of fullest built
Not that all the scattered pieces gathered
But a realization,” I don’t belong to myself”
I belong to thee, El Olam
As I lay myself down, heaven hear me now
Break all the boxes that I’ve tried to hide you
I’m always thirsty, I can be quenched
Only you can fill my life
Walking with You in every path I take
Is all I ever needed in life
Direct me, cause I belong to you

Angel Gaju Poem
Just like the reflection from the sun
Just like the flash of lightning
Just like the morning dews on the grass
Just like the splashing of the waves on the shore
Just like the blurriness of the clouds
Just like the tossing of trees
Just like running after the winds
Just like the singing birds in the rain
Just like the camel entering the needle
Just like the twinkle in an eye
Just like being in the middle of a sea
Just like being a stranger on an island
Just like the untold story
Just like love with no reciprocal
Just like living a people-pleasing life
Just like living a life that is not yours

Angel Gaju Poem
Don’t I deserve a better life?
Living a life without owning it to someone else is a fantasy
A fantasy that seems never to be a reality in this life
Why do I have to share my peace with everyone except with me?
I have learned to say thank you
Even to those wretched things,
Is it all I deserve?
How will I ever heal if all I have are chronic wounds
that are always touched while still open.
There is stuff stored inside,
Deep inside of me,
Will, I ever do good because I want to,
Not because I need to?
That has never been mine to hold.
Is there a day
I will be bold enough to feel my peace as others breathe,
Will I be able to unmask it?
I am learning to release this.
The need to stay small, guarded, and caged
In my own tiny fortress.
I want to find out how loudly
I can sing the songs that are always trapped
Inside of me.
Gifts that everyone can see except me,
When will I feel my own kindness?
Let my own mask fall on my feet one day,
I can make this world
Inside of me
A world worth living for
A world that I haven’t known and
I still call it mine,
I am going to find out that one day,
There’s so much more beauty inside to share with me
Than I have ever given myself credit for.
I am not trying to be an ungrateful person,
Thank you to those things that
Make me feel small and trivial
They’ve awoken me to this place of
Newfound strength, after all.
I am gazing at my fantasized strength
That I hope to one day find.
I’m not building walls anymore; I want to feel my kindness too
I hope things will unfold one day.

Angel Gaju Poem
There’s one memory of us
The light that I can’t find
The roots of unfind love
Those still souvenirs
Spin me around, shake me up
One story’s not enough
Open my eyes to real life
Lost in moments,looking around
I am fading away, yet sinking deep
I am waiting for you
I want to see if you can feel the same
I need your love
I just want to scream that
I love you the way you are.

Angel Gaju Poem
Title; "Chasing Little Joys"
For quite some time now, I've become desensitized to my challenges
to the reality of my existence.
I've been holding on to any moments of joy that provide relief
even if it's just for a few minutes in order to drown out the constant ache in my heart.
Sleep has become my way to numb myself.
It transports me to a realm,
where I can shield myself from the demands and pressures of the world.
Life, a maze filled with unknowns, is filled with ups and downs,
laughter and tears, love and heartbreaks.
No matter how tightly you try to control it,
everything twists. Turns lie ahead, both delightful and devastating.
Amid it all, show yourself grace and love
And perhaps, just perhaps, brighter days will eventually dawn.
I can't claim numbness, for I feel every feeling in its raw form
I wonder if I'll ever stop chasing those moments of joy,
since sad days are inevitable at the end of the day.
The Echoes of a Heart That Feels...
