Failure

    Failure is what I am;
    Failure is my nature.
    It is not my favorite desire
    But is my best teacher.
    It humbled my flesh
    And showed me the reflections of the truth.
    I can never deny but accept of
    What is already there.
    I can never fight it.
    If so, it will leave me as a deceiver.
    It is the climax of my roller coaster.
    At the near end, failure leaves me
    The treasure of successes.


    My Guidance

    I will not look at you
    With my eyes but with my heart.
    My sight can deceive the heart,
    But my heart can never deceive my sight.
    My heart only seeks the beauty from within
    And shadows the outer.
    It is the perfect mirror
    Without the blind spot
    That will always reveal the truth.
    The plaster emotions that you establish with
    Your thoughts and the flesh
    Are meaningless to its presence.
    My heart will never guide me to
    The wrong road but will lead me
    To the chosen one.


    Hearts of Champions

    The sweats, the heartbeats, and the breath
    Are nothing compared to this earth.
    The passion, the ethics, and the mentality
    Are beyond the insanity of any reality.
    The pains, the struggles, and the heartbreaks
    Are the immunity of their universe.
    It can never be comprehended or exemplified.
    It cannot be stopped or contained.
    Greatness is its driven force.
    The will, the fire will keep on burning
    To everlasting remarks down in history.
    Many have tried to obtain such,
    But only so few have acquired.
    They will be legends and heroes that give us
    Dreams and keep our children dreaming,
    Give us hope and inspire our grandchildren to the fullest,
    For they too have walked in their shoes in the past.
    We looked at them and captured the moments
    To cherish greatness at its best.
    The heart of champion cannot be tamed
    nor be conquered.


    Faded Scenery

    You have looked upon the past
    And wondered, will anything ever last?
    You are witnessing that everything
    Is falling apart as each day is rattling by.
    Sadly, it is strangling your heart.
    The sweet childhood memories
    Are now forever embedded in history.
    The sunset on the playground is
    Different as you walked by it,
    Wishing you could go back
    And revive those sweet melodies,
    Remembering those nights of how you used
    To dream of those things that lie ahead,
    Which were so unclear to you then.
    Now, you are feeling the tears rolling down your eyes,
    As you know that it is beyond your reach.
    The past is like a tangible stain that can never be clean;
    It is forever equipped in your mind.

    At this moment, you stand in the present—
    At the other end, where you are already
    Past your heydays.
    You are seeing the unclear images boldly,
    For you have lived on the end of both ropes.
    There is no more dreaming.
    There is no more questioning.
    There is no more waiting.
    Only time will tell the final tale.


    Through You

    Through your eyes,
    I will see all the miseries.
    Through your ears,
    I will hear the voices of the speechless.
    Through your mouth,
    I will speak for the voiceless.
    Through your face,
    I will image the outcast.
    Through your heart,
    I will love the unloved.
    Through your shoulder,
    I will carry all burdens.
    Through your arm,
    I will comfort the broken.
    Through your hands,
    I will feed the feeble.
    Through your feet,
    I will conquer every ground.
    Through your body,
    I will shield the vulnerable.
    Through your name,
    I will serve justice to the righteous.
    Through you,
    I can do all things that...
