They’ll have you feel like you’re asking for too much. Truth is, they can’t offer much. It’s like I’m expecting a fountain quality from a drain individual.

“You struggle because your heart is pure and you don't understand why so many people can't be authentic.” - Sylvester McNutt

Когда метель кричит, как зверь, -
протяжно и сердито,
не запирайте вашу дверь,
пусть будет дверь открыта.
И если ляжет долгий путь,
нелегкий путь, представьте,
дверь не забудьте распахнуть,
открытой дверь оставьте.
И уходя в ночной тиши,
без долгих слов решайте:
огонь сосны с огнем души
в печи перемешайте.
Пусть будет теплою стена
и мягкою - скамейка...
Дверям закрытым - грош цена,
замку цена - копейка!
Булат Окуджава

I sit on the wings of Time, looking imploringly at the world as it passes by. I plead with Time for more of its specialty but my pleas fall upon deaf ears. Maybe Time would have stopped for me if it had just listened. Alas, such a fruitless task as stopping Time is impossible. I shouldn't waste my life trying to have Time slow if it never will. Maybe instead I should try to make the most of what Time gives me, no matter how little that is.

The Resilience of Hope
Even life becomes a stormy sea,
And hope becomes a sinking boat,
When every step is a whirlpool,
And every breath burns your throat,
Don't give up on your precious dreams,
Don't let despair cloud your sight,
There's always a ray of light somewhere,
There's always a reason to fight.
For you are not an island in this world,
There are others who care and understand,
They will offer you their aid and warmth,
They will stand by you holding your hand.
The salty taste of tears on your lips,
The sound of rain pounding against the pane,
The feeling of a cold wind biting at your skin,
As you face your fears and struggles again.
But don't lose faith in yourself or life,
Don't let the darkness have their say,
There's always a new dawn ahead,
There's always a brighter day.
The smell of freshly brewed coffee,
The warmth of a hug from a friend,
Small moments of hope and comfort,
As you journey towards the end.

“love”
is a one word joke
along with
“hope”
through which we all
eventually
choke

JUST ONE STEP
The world around me holds its breath -
they watch me tremble.
There is no earthquake
and yet my body shakes
As I take one step.
It's been a while
since I felt this tall, this high
and yet I'm still minuscule
compared to all those glaring eyes.
Just one step and that's it!
My veins contract to the force
of lifting my foot to the air.
All these eyes will behold
how my wings were never broken
and witness my valor and gallantry
as I launch myself to the clouds.
But I will never reach their piercing gaze
unless I detach my feet from the ground.
And just one step is all it will take
to not let myself and everyone down.

I don’t believe in soulmates or destiny or the grand scheme of things or fate. But I believe in choices. I believe in choosing them over and over and over again, at every turn, at every crossroad. I believe in finding a reason or making one on the days where we don’t seem to make any sense.   I don’t believe there is someone out there made for me because something in the stars decided it. But I do believe in soulmates, as created by us, as made up of every day we chose to stay, of every fight we worked through, of every time the choice we made was each other.

Love is not everything
we are too used to tolerance so
we dilute ourselves without realizing as
we accommodate but call it compromise
we endure feeling misunderstood and
we accept sufferance towards our passion
we congratulate ourselves on their loyalty
we wonder our luck to have their respect
we mistake agreement for compatibility
we stay for potential yet uncovered
we trust intention disregarding reality
we value familiar comfort over growth
we settle for love
and fool ourselves that this is everything

Please understand that I struggle too
That like you I lose sleep over life’s many stress
That I too wish not to weep day after day
I hope you may begin to understand we are both drowning in the waters of life
Yes mine is a lake compared to your ocean
But understand that one can drown by both six feet of water and a single teaspoon
Understand that life is a challenge regardless of what forms it takes
Understand that both can struggle without need for constant competition
Please understand

Because you deserve to get back just as much of the love you pour into the world.

Being & Man
Today, it’s the first day Life grips in a new way: From the womb of fateful past I break free; shadows cannot last.
Inner eye opens to new light, Swearing off all chains and angst To rise, or fall, or be cast out: Choose to become, my truth shout.
With strength of will, mind sound, I shall walk and stare it down, That misshapen karmic plan And naked, stand, Being Man.

surviving has no secret;
you cannot plan for life...
but you can keep one eye open
for those who wield a knife
