I Was Never a Good Son

I envy the child in me
who never gets tired of hoping.
For I just know I’m an adult
and I have to keep going.

Stuck in a cycle
that mostly leads
to failures and resets.
I’m a burning candle
that gathers hope,
from faith and good intent.

Hold me tight
until the last tear falls.
Mask the night
with lies to clear my thoughts.
Overwrite
things until it’s my fault.

We all should grow with
mistakes and failure.
For what was easily obtained
can be boring.
Great stories come from
those who endure.
And what we overcome
brings us closer to our true calling.

Don't let anxiety
get in the way of what you aim.
Reclaim!
Always strive
to be the best player in your game.

I feel jealous
when others use the words
I wanted to say.
Wishing I could
also enjoy what seems common
in their tray.
Envy and loss
can tempt my mind to feel less
and shy away.
Letting God know

The world seems unreachable
no matter how far I stretch my arm.
Like plowing a life riddled
by continues why’s and confusing hows.

But you made things bearable,
through your warmth
and empowering smiles.

She only wants
your heartfelt appreciation.
For your apology
only feeds depression.
You’re not to blame
if she’s taught to show affection.
Just sad that some people
lack consideration.

Endure,
no matter how slowly fate
decides to change.
Make sure
to stay consistent
even in offstage.
Be proud,
for humble stories last and
will never age.

The best lessons come
from those who have been
humbled and strengthened
by experience.

Hey anxiety!
My fate is for me to decide.
I'm just letting you in
for a quick ride.

Take a break,
and heed the heart
that isn’t willing to persist.
Trust yourself,
for we’re stronger
without insecurities.
Don’t lose hope,
as we are all
gifted with opportunities.

Don't feel sorry
for constantly failing
when you tried.
Cry, retry, pray,
and just let your heart
help you decide.
Call it a day,
wait for tomorrow
to be as bright.
Make it okay,
believe you can,…

A blessed day,
to recuperate
weakening souls.
instill faith
that’s needed
to alleviate sorrows.
Pray for more
as His mercy will be our guide
for tomorrow.

I’m sorry moon,
if I just stare
without talking.
I am alone,
confuse,
doesn’t know where I’m going.
It’s your beauty
that inspires patience
and enduring.
That lonely glow
