A LONG HARD ROAD

If I had known it was going to be so hard,
 Involving computer skills to the extreme,
 I might have thought twice about it,
 Thought twice about writing my book.
 Writers must write each and every day.
 We must promote our books daily.
 We must post on our blogs each day.
 But there’s not enough hours in a day.
 How do other writers accomplish all this?
 How do they leave free time for their families?
 They must be expert jugglers.
 Experts at writing, blogging, and juggling.
 I must learn this dance.
 This high-wire walk.
 This never-ending battle.
 I must learn to juggle.
 I will do it.
 I will do it all.
 Just give me the chance.
 Book two is waiting to be written.
 I feel free.
 I feel empowered.
 I will survive.
 James Patterson, eat my dust.

THE JOURNEY

Remember the journey.
Not its end point.
Not its goal.
But the struggle to achieve it.
Look ahead into the distance.
Remember what’s key.
Remember the journey.
For future adventures.
For future battles.
Learn to live by it.

DARK PATH

THE LIGHT SHINES THROUGH

THE PATH MIGHT APPEAR
DARK AT TIMES.
BUT THE ROAD WILL LEAD
YOU PAST THE DARKNESS,
THROUGH MANY TWISTS AND TURNS,
TO THE LIGHT AT THE END.

There is always hope.
The birds wait for the spring
And venture out when it finally arrives.
There are bad times for everyone
But they don’t last forever.
Seasons change,
And life changes for everyone.
We just have to be patient.

Molten Ice by Dylan Toh & Marianne Lim

THE LIGHT SHINES THROUGH
Life might seem dark at times—
Without the hope of any future.
But if you keep your hopes
And keep doing best,
You will someday be surprised.
For one day you will wake up,
And find some of your dreams
Have actually come true.
There is always some light
That shines through the darkness.

ALONE

Jonathan Coloma
Do you sometimes feel all alone? As if no one else understood what you were going through? No one was there to help. Hardship is supposed to make us stronger. But I don’t want to be stronger. I only want to be happy.
