Realize the Value of Time

2008-12-29T02:45:00.007-05:00

To realize the value of ONE YEAR,
ask a student who failed a grade.
To realize the value of ONE MONTH,
ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby.
To realize the value of ONE WEEK,
ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.
To realize the value of ONE DAY,
ask a daily wage laborer who has ten kids to feed.
To realize the value of ONE HOUR,
ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
To realize the value of ONE MINUTE,
ask a person who missed the train.
To realize the value of ONE SECOND,
ask a person who just avoided an accident.
To realize the value of ONE MILLISECOND,
ask the person who won a silver medal in the Olympics...

Realize the value of time, treasure every moment you have...

As It Wilts...

2008-09-17T23:28:00.000-04:00

...Like a flower that wilts yet its stem stays strong described out relationship. The contact, the presence, the loyalty, the ambience of our relationship slowly wilted. Yet, our love was the stem, strong and firm, but I had to leave, as the seasons have to change and the flowers have to wilt with the changing seasons...

...It wasn’t for me to decide, the slow progress of our diminishing could not be held back, once again, as the seasons cannot be stopped. Her parents would not have approved, not only of me, of anyone that was like me. Be it so, I cannot change, I have been nurtured into what i am and for no one can I be different, not even for myself...

...I’m not selfish, I’m honest, call it whatever you may, acceptance is valued trait and I should be accepted for who or what I am. As long as I can treat their valued daughter how a queen should be treated, which i did, there shall be no dilemma, no?...

...But...

...Maybe it was for the best, maybe that’s just a quote with the underlying definition which makes a lonely man feel some sort of sympathy for committing an action which he regrets...Maybe not...

...I call it unconditional love, for whatever she may do, whoever she may be in her life time i shall not go back on my feelings for my heart does not deceive me. The only time, I say, the only time I shall be broken is if we exchange gazes and I perceive the same passion from her as before...I lie to you not that my heart shall shatter to a thousand dissimilar pieces, like a puzzle in which the pieces cannot fit, cannot complete...I can’t go back...What I have done, I have done and I can’t go back...It shall be against my will...

Because that’s how it wilts.

...This is just a quick monologue...

After the Rain, There's a Rainbow

2008-03-10T19:17:00.016-04:00

Music is a big part of my life, and on that note I haven't recorded a song in a very long time. About 4 - 5 months give or take. Until today, i decided to pick up a pad and a pen and in a span of 4 hours or so, this was the outcome. From the instrumental, to the lyrics, to the vocals themselves. Yup, all in one artist. lol.

…And We Fell Astray, Forever

The last time the suns rays that glittered across your eyes
Right before we sheared our paths, was only a matter of time
The last time you stared in my eyes and stood so closely
It was the last time my heart was inside your reach

I never hoped we would succumb to make this decision
And decided never to cross our paths again
Because we fell astray from each other, forever
Into a world where what we gain, is lost for pain

I can’t tell you that I won’t miss you, because I know I will
Every time I think of how it started, it does hurt, it does kill
From now on, we can only live in our thoughts with time
And every gaze we’ll share, I’ll know I crossed your mind

Realize that it’s already hard to erase these thoughts
To be completely apart, for now, is best for me
Don’t take this as hate, I promised I would never
But then again, I promised we’d never fall astray

But we did, forever....

Pen and My Pad
I live and let die
watch sunset, sunrise
with my pad and my pen
I’m symbolizing each line

The thoughts come thorough
first buried in furrow
hearing my heart speak
will there be tomorrow?

My self conscience pays bond
the pen replies to my thoughts
I hear in my writing
will forever be strong

angst and vibes are filled in my breath
pushing top limits I speak in deep depths
the lines on the paper as closing to thin
I speak in deep depth with my pad and my pen

I wrote this poem when i was 13 or 14, I don't quite remember. But yeah, i managed to win bronze in the poetry.com contest and was actually, pretty surprised. And since then, I like to think my talents have sprouted.

Fundamentals of Decisions & Choices (Selfishness)

2008-03-08T19:48:00.007-05:00

Tasks, options, decisions, choices, and results are all fundamentals that are based upon the weight of one’s personal mentality or personality. The philosophy of ones choices are rooted down to the core of certain circumstances. These circumstances fall under the category of either desire or need. Desires have various origins, whether it is jealousy or whether it is the basic instinct of beauty in the conclusion of that particular decision.

This brings me to my point…

Choices are becoming more and more selfish, more self-desiring, more self-indulging. But who is to blame for these choices when humans are the ones making them? Nowadays, it seems like when one makes a decision, the result should benefit only him or her. And upon making that decision, the factor of the decision should only constitute that single person, and not ONE person other than them. Selfishness, I should say, is the root of all evil. Mostly everyone has fear of one another. Not the basic fear of one being greater, but the fear that roots from a cynical mentality of others achieving their dreams. Selfishness, places grudges upon each other, selfishness places a periphery in which one is bound to his own constraints. When one forgets his own outcome in order to bring down others, these constraints label one at the pinnacle of their selfishness.

But it seems like I’m babbling on different aspects of selfishness…

Dependence

Most people regard dependence as a weakness, but is it really when there is no other option?

Take into consideration, one human in need of another’s ability. Should you say, that human is dependent on others, because he does not have the ability himself? Is that human not forced to be dependent? Because in the end, isn’t being dependent on others just a way to bring yourself to an ultimate downfall? So would you really blame the human for not being self-sufficient?

If blamed…

Does that human not have the right to deny it? Does he not have the right to argue to the point of fury? When that point of anger and frustration is reached, can you really blame him?

When put into the real world, many convey the message of being self-sufficient at a particular age factor. Mentality and personality would depend on that age factor to vary enormously from person to person, would it not? Societal labels are a way to portray one’s weakness when they might not even exist.

Now follow along closely because labeling someone of dependency is closely related to selfishness... For some, that is...

Rooting back to the fundamental of a selfish choice, this fundamental is rooted from the choice made when a human is to label another as dependent of others. To some it might be to their advantage (selfishness). When you ignite a weakness in someone by labeling them as dependent of others, they lose an integral part of themselves and this way that human being has become lesser then the selfish one.

Whether you agree or not, you cannot deny the fact it is true for some if not most.

Just my two cents.

Oh, but then again...why two cents, when it's only "a penny for your thoughts?"
