My late Mother used to say “A life passes by too quickly.” Yet some of us attempted to end it sooner. It is not a sign of weakness, quite the opposite We tried to end it as living became unbearable Too painful. We had no more strength to fight the demons Piercing anxiety lived within. … Continue reading Poem; Life

Poem; Nature
Last night was awful. I couldn’t sleep. One part was anxiety. The other, my cat. At one point I was feeling so hot. And decide to open the window.

Poem; Frienship
Hard to find. Harder to maintain. Easily lost. Good friends are a must. To balance your life. But you have to be ready to reciprocate. In my opinion, the term friendship is used too loosely. Before calling someone, a friend make sure that it is one. Because loosing, him or her, over pettiness hurts badly. … Continue reading Poem; Frienship
