Out of Touch

We keep in touch with everything else except ourselves,
When the Joneses could not even careless.
Let's ask ourselves;
Do I really want to lose myself,
Or just simply loose myself?
Because on every angle we are entangled with the news,
Yet there is still nothing new to prove that we have improved.
We trust the gossips to lead us, while we feed ourselves on junk food and peanuts.
And I am sorry if you think I am rude not to exclude the shenanigans,
But we have been Robbed;
While keeping up with the Kardashian's.

At school we try to keep up to keep our names written on the roster,
Yet the tools we use, prove that: it's the school's interest we foster.
At work we settle to be stratified,
Just so that we keep our boss' customers satisfied.
But being fit and flexible is alright,
It's losing the shape of me that keeps me up all night.
Alright, when last have you shown real emotion when sad,
Or wake up in the morning to have a sweet devotion with God?
When was the last time you actually pleased yourself,
Instead of everyone else that should be treating you well?
I'll understand if answering these questions seem tough,
Because it's keeping up with so much that has kept us out of touch.

Letter to Parents; from a child charged by adulthood

Dear mom and dad,
Thank you for the interesting childhood I had.
Thank you for always putting me in your best interest too,
Because for what it was worth I thought it was best to impress you.
Your interest in me was all I could see, 
And even now after graduating into adulthood,
There are still big fragments of your interest stretched before me.
I appreciate it all from the top; don't get me wrong, 
But this is where you protecting me from falling will have to stop.
With all respect owing,
I still sometimes depend on your approval without knowing.
And when I stand to receive your correction,
I realize you are not there but present is your ever pleasant sense of direction.

Your statutes were engraved in me.
Your morals are upon my skin, 
So I'll never get lost with this road map I am in.
Don't worry about me mom; you nurtured me well,
And dad, my ambitions in life can tell.
So be proud of yourselves.
You did your best to grow this seed,
To never be in real need of anything. 
Look at how well I am blossoming.
I know you think I might still need molding, 
But the ground work you did on me the last time is still holding me up.
And I am thankful; I hope this is heartfelt,
Because this is my time now to continue this amazing journey that you had started.

The Fault Within Your Stars (Your imperfections that make perfect sense to me)

I think I fell in love with your flaws first

When I weighed them all out and I saw how much your flaws worth

Because there are many defined by beauty

And many by their intelligence

But in you I see so much impatience

I see your raw imperfections

Whenever I start seeing in you too much of what I see in others,

I change my perception

I see your insecurities

I feel your pains

But I guess without impurities, diamonds would not be worth the same

Loving the good things about you came simple

Your pretty lips when you smile and your dimples

They have no scars

But what I would see forever is the fault within your stars

And I focused so hard on that spot until I could see no light

But your flaw that grew bigger everyday brought me through the night

It gave me sight and for that I love it

I think any perfect girl without a flaw is imperfect

I am yet to see a basket of apples with no spoils in them

So unlikely will I see you as my spoiling gem

Your faults are like the sting that lemons give that bring good flavours to life

So I wouldn't love you without them, my impending wife.

My Sunshine

You shine bright right through my eyes
This and every morning that you rise
Then at nights when I need your light most you refuse to shine
But by daylight you are still my Sunshine
You are the light that gives me direction
That paves my way in high perfection
My ball of fire that sets my heart on fire
It is you whom I depend on to start my day in great array
You are the only one I look up to besides God
And it's no surprise that you are seated beside God
No family nor friends could defy the odds that even though it may rain at times
You are always my Sunshine
Time after time
Again and again
My Sunshine proves to be my very best friend
