Bright Stars
Bright stars, why do they disappear?What happened to me, everybody asks.Searching for myself, I’m wandering around.Why am I nowhere to be found? Seeking myself, on these paths.Not sure why, i feel I’m drifting away Why do all dreams shatter?Why do they part their ways? What happened, did you ever pause to think?Who am I, and…

The Mountains That We Climb
In life, we all have our mountains to climb.Our bidding is to keep going, even when times are grim.With prayers and effort, and a firm belief.We long for that breathtaking view from the summit. Once there, we may realize,little do we understand the grand scheme.Such unexpected is life,that it never ceases to amaze and surprise.

Why?
Why am I lonely among so many people?Why am I in darkness among all these lights? Why do I feel empty when my heart is full?Why do I feel far from home when I live right here? Why are you still upset when you know I never meant to hurt you?Why do I write sad…
