Struggle

Struggle is a juggle when you lose sight of what you are seeking Struggle is a juggle when hearts are pounding Struggle is a juggle when the carts are leaving Struggle is a juggle when you really don't know why things are happening It's like you did something real wrong Or you plucked the wrong string in your guitar and picked the wrong song Struggle is a juggle when you cry and someone asks why you don't try Struggle is a juggle when you look at everyone else and find them smiling Struggle is a juggle when you are alone It's like you are always finding an excuse to be all by yourself Or you talk to people who are not even there but you desperately just want them Struggle is a boat that sinks  Struggle is a fart that stinks Struggle is a tornado with no one but a broken tree that survived Struggle is a wave that doesn't wait for shells to just float on the surface Struggle is the pen that leaks ink Struggle is the den that is darker than minds can think Struggle is ...

A Grieving Traveler

I sat in a train again
Without you...
I sat with pain again
Without you..
I wish you were there
I wish to get back your stare
I wish to share some words
How I wished to look out of the window
the same way as yesterday..

This journey that I start again
Without you...
This journey that I pause more often
Without you...
As there is no one to put a hand on
My shoulder of disdain..
As there is no one to just make a 
Harmless gesture of being insane..
How I wished to sip that cup of tea with
a relentless life beyond the sea waiting to be free..

*Dedicated to my mom as she shares her feeling of loneliness after my dad passed away last year. They both used to love traveling together...
