It's OK To Cry
Crying is not a sign of weakness.
It’s a sign of strength.
It’s a sign of letting yourself go
and not holding yourself back.
It’s a form of expression
a silent expression
an emotional expression
a vulnerable expression
a brave and strong expression
letting everyone know that you can’t
take it anymore.
Small drops of water
coming from your visual peripherals
come tumbling down
the sides of your face
like an overflowing waterfall
From eye to chin
each watery teardrop
represents and symbolizes
you breaking free

The Dreams of a Creative Life
Ever since I was little,
I always wanted to be a performer.
Singing, acting, playing a musical instrument,
I wanted to do this profession for the rest of my life.
So I put this creative dream into action,
by going to auditions for roles in the theatrical productions,
competing in national and international music competitions,
performing in talent shows, school/community plays,
family event gatherings, school commencement ceremonies, etc.
I am doing just about everything

CSUN-Calm, Yet Disoriented
People going
From place to place
Or in their
Own little world,
Yet they’re still
Calm and content.
The Oviatt Library
Standing tall
and proud.
Inside
It’s very functional
In various ways
But outside,
It’s calm and content.
Different kinds of trees
Swaying gently
With the calm winds
With their foundation
Being strong
and firm
and their likeliness…
calm.
These aspects
Do have a purpose
In some way
No matter
How good or bad
Their life is
They still have
The same feeling
On...

My Original Psalm
O LORD,
how wonderful
and great you are!
How awesome you are!
O LORD,
I love you
so much
as a teacher and friend!
O LORD,
hear my cry
from the pitch black darkness
in this cruel world
that I am living in.
Let your light
From your loving heart
Shine through me
And in this
Confused,
Twisted,
And struggling path
That I’m walking on,
Guide me,
Show me,
teach me your ways.
I’m hungry
for your love!
I’m thirsty
for your grace
and power!
I’m longing
for the victory ...
how wonderful
and great you are!
How awesome you are!
O LORD,
I love you

Shine through me

Confused,

Guide me,
Show me,
teach me your ways.
I’m hungry

I Am In Hiding!
It’s extremely hard for me
to keep myself private
from the rest of the world.
It’s also hard for me
to put myself out there
for everyone to see.
Why are you watching me?
You have 3 options:
you either stand out to be known,
blend in with the society,
or hide away.
Will you ever get to know the real me?
You are put here in this world
for a reason.
A reason that will take
a very long time.
A lifetime
to figure out
who you are
...

THE LIFE OF A LONE WANDERING OUTCAST
I am such a LONER
for a very long time.
I am traveling, wandering,
running, walking,
far and wide,
near and deep,
just looking for a spot
yearning for a comfort place
where I can be ACCEPTED
surrounded with lots of positive people
doing the things that I love.
I am not there yet,
I am still searching,
going from one place to another
with doors slamming shut on me
along the way,
hearing the word "NO" countless times
feeling that I am
NOT GOOD ENOUGH
for them
and I NEVER will be.
AM I A GOOD FIT?!?!...
