Family Love

Everyday,
Every time,
He tells his parents that he loves them
No matter how much they laugh,
No matter how much they know.

Even when he is an adult living alone
He wants it to be shown
That no matter how old, he could remind them
That they were the reason why he had a home,
Why he never gave up and always had hope.

He knows that when they argued, they just wanted him to know,
That they cared,
And they didn’t want him to be someone whom they would fear.

So everyday no matter what the age or year,
He keep telling his parents that he loves them
Because one day,
They won’t be here to hear.

Desert of Lives

A desert of lives.
A maze of relationships.
We're just people trying to survive,
As our lives unzips.
Yet will there be a chance to thrive,
And follow that of mere lips? 
Or will we take initiative and drive,
As we begin our own trips? 
So that we can revive,
To be someone who isn't made from just scripts. 
Thus knowing how it truly is to be "alive," 
And form relationships. 
Within the desert of lives,
We can only continue to find different ways to survive.

Every Single Day

No matter how lost we are, you still find a way.
Even when I give up hope, you still decide to stay.
Is there even a way to explain?
Explain the amount of pain that I put you through every single day.
The type of pain that stays on you forever not as a scar but as a stain.
But somehow never hearing a single complaint.
It's just a smile and a “How was your day.”
Because of this, how will I be able to find a way.
A way to get past my pain.
So that I can finally help you.
And this time, ask you if you are the one who is okay…

You Did Alright

For those who struggle,

For those who try,

It’s okay to cry.

But never let this feeling die.

Never let it be the reason why you hide.

Keep it implanted in your mind.

Because one day your future will unwind

As a bright light shines.

And you can finally say,

“I did alright.”
