A Simple Contemplation

When I close my eyes, I want to see the world in front of me. A world where there is no looking back. A world where there is no bad. A world where this only love, that would be a true dream come true.

I want to follow my dreams but I can’t, in truth no one can achieve their dreams. There is no such thing as dreams and there is no such thing as having your dreams come true. You can only chase after them, thus they are mere fantasies trapped in the back of our mental state, afraid and petrified of the true world out there lying in front of us.

But that doesn't mean that our life will be filled with nothing but sorrow. For our hopes and memories are worth more than the silly fantasies we have in mind.

So I’ll leave us all at one note, live life to the fullest, but in a manner that when you look back at it there is nothing but a pride smile across your face.

When we take a step in life, let’s make a vow to never take a step back because that would intent we have never forgotten regrets behind us.

Lead your life the positive way, which you envy when you someone else has. Instead of envy and jealousy shape your life in a manner that satisfies your needs and wants.

There is nothing wrong with dreaming, but there will always be something wrong with only dreaming. When you’re at that stage in life, you have clearly forgotten how to live it. 

Many have asked why we cannot fly. The real reason behind why we cannot fly is because wings are not strong enough to carry our burdens and responsibilities.

A Tale Of Pain

When he closed his eyes, he saw his past.

He had a spouse, two children, and a shelter above him.

This will always account as a sweet memory, but

For his children who looked up to him, likely not.

Hoping for a new start, he would look up at the sky’s jewel.

At a time he was full of pride, for he had everything

That a man would ever dreamt of. When the typhoon finally hit,

He still remained confident, for he had over confidence on his

Future to come. He figured why misfortune would ever happen

To him, for he had never committed any sin.

As days rolled by, the job that once relied on him,

Became something he daily began to depend on.

Once stout-hearted man, now filled with overwhelming fear of

How he too, would lose his job like his neighbors near.

A man with no guilt, suddenly indulged in guidance of God’s ways

Hoped his daily toil would gain His blessings, which he would

Clutch to his heart, for he only hoped for his children and

Spouse to live under a dwelling place, with no problems at sight.

Times were to him very harsh, for his job cut his pay.

At a point in his life money was all, but now hope had the power

To conquer all, but for he it was already too late.

Clutched at by trouble, his faith cried for help but

Never did he receive the comfort he requested for, he wept with his wife

For their old heavenly life, that they never had truly appreciated.

He felt that not a penny would be freed, for when his

Dead body is found sleeping in the earth-hall, screaming for peace

And nothing but tranquility, for his transcending sins.

The living sorrow of life, simmered in his eyes.

Now with nothing to provide for his family, he was left with no glory

Nor pride. For his life was nothing but morbid, of sweet memories

He wept of, sweet memories he dreamt of. All this lasted as a dream.

A dream that could never buy him his true gold, the happiness that had

Once lasted in the family. His true sin, he finally saw was

Not seeing the value of his jewel, until it was surely lost in time.

Thus he was not gifted to carry solace, until he gasped for air.

The tears in his eyes, the dream in his pearl-white smile

All portrayed the world of what was to come, when one lives with fear. 

Is It Really Worth The Pain?

Sacrifice. What does that really mean? And I don’t mean like straight forwards dictionary definitions, but what seems legitimate to your heart.

Whether we know it or not, we live in a world full with sacrifice. I see people giving up things for their loved ones just so they can see that vibrant smile on their faces.

Is it worth it in the end?

There are people in this world that hide themselves in corners every day. Just dreaming and hoping that tomorrow will be different. Dreaming and hoping that there is someone out there for them that will care for them until their life expires.

Can we all just simply close our eyes and place ourselves in an invisible state of mind? Is life in reality actually that simple?

No matter what the answer is, one thing to me has been cleared for me. Sacrifice is not giving up something you love for a greater meaning, it is giving up something you love for someone you care.
