What If Life Was A Dream


I never wanted to open
My eyes
To this cruel world of reality
Because every time
I’m awake
I felt like something has been stolen from me

Going to sleep each night
Is like going on an adventure
Like surfing the
World Wide Web
And nothing is censored

What if life was a dream?
What if you could live
That one blissful moment forever
What if the happiness
And the joy
Never cease to exist
Then you could live your life
Just as if you were sleeping
Last night

Value yourself


Value yourself
It`s all I can say
Value yourself every-day
Value yourself
No matter what
Other people might say

Value yourself
Start a journey
And value every step
All the way
Don`t look back
There`s no value
Back there
There`s no value
Back then
Value yourself
On going forward
And taking the value
Of your future
In your hands

We are children of value
Remember
We were born in sin
But because God valued us
He still keeps us on the earth
To inherit it

You may ask
What is value?

How much money
Do you have in the bank?
What is the value
Of your house and car
How much for the clothes
You are wearing
Plus those jewelry
That you are cherishing

That, my friend
Is not the definition
Of valuing yourself

We ignore the value within
And look for
The value without
We seek
That which cannot
Be found in a
Treasure box
Beneath the deep seas
Because what is of
Utmost value
Is the core being
Of you and me

Love yourself
Respect yourself
And then
You will be able
To value yourself

Sad Lines


All I had
Was sad lines
In my poems

There were no rays
Of sunshine
Among my words
No little chirping or melody
Like that of birds

My poems were ugly
There was no beauty
Of joy and excitement
No fun so you could
Show your teeth
Whenever you read them

My poems were painful
Just by looking at them
You`d be sad and depressed

There was no happiness
No matter how I tried
I just couldn`t lie to myself

My days I spent lonely
Away from home
Just so I could be alone
And write a sad poem

Line by line
I jotted them down
Never a smile, only a frown
It felt so good feeling so bad
These sad little poems
Were all I ever had

Line by line
And coast to coast
Corner to corner
And post to post
My sad little poems
Were what I had
Loved the most

Memory


I don`t want to be a memory
I don`t want
To be remembered
Only after the dirt will have
Crumbled over my
Lifeless body

I don`t want to be a memory
Please Lord,
Don`t let that tragedy befall me
Don`t let me be a victim
Of dead personalities

Remember me
And recognize me
Cherish me now
And appreciate me
Stand by me today
And let us chart this journey
Together in strength
And unity

But please, don`t archive me
And lock me in the vault
Of forgotten memories
