The Experience

After backpacking through Europe for 3 weeks, I can say that it was the most revitalizing vacation I have ever taken. I came back with a passion to travel more, to see every corner of the world, to go to fascinating little known countries and to experience as many cultures as I can. After living out of a suitcase for 9 weeks (I was doing an internship in New York for 6 weeks prior to Europe), I realized that life was much simpler when I didn't have a whole wardrobe of clothes to choose from and that material things weren't really necessary to have a good time. Germany - Netherlands - Belgium - France - Spain :  5 countries in 21 days seemed crazy and unrealistic at first, but boy were we wrong. From sleeping on different beds almost every alternate day to always running late to get on buses and trains, every day was an exciting adventure. I've had several eye-opening moments and although there's more I'd like to say than I can even put into words, I've compi...

Now is the time to be brightly gleaming Cause all her choices are now redeeming Life is so full of music that you can chant and dance But she was still fighting to be in a trance Now she finally deciphered the elucidation of love More and more a revelation was required from above Society has everyone drugged on the mistaken idea of happiness So she was engaged in displaying overweening haughtiness After placing all her childhood fantasies aside  Emotions are intense as the bittersweet tears are dried Learning to deal with issues instead of running away Now even her unpleasant days are not filled with dismay Trying to comprehend this sudden fear is strange But she was willing to embrace the reality of change She refuses to presume that adulthood is the end of innocence For it is all about creating in her heart the perfect ambience Venturing through childhood with a personal view She crawled out into the world everyone knew ...

The way you say my name My ears suddenly come alive Your words are setting me aflame They send me into overdrive I can touch the portals that reach stars When I look into those compassionate eyes Just like that it ends all my internal wars It is like I am being summoned to paradise Tell me the great and wonderful things you do It is more interesting than the whole of space So many episodic memories rush through That would willingly paint my exuberance Sun or snow, rain or shine  I will safely hold you in my smile And someday I'll know that moment divine Which makes everything in life so worthwhile.

Holding me close to your bosom You brought me into the light Turning the glass and showing the prism A constant force saying it will be alright. I'm moving on cause you set me free Overlooking the past offences And to everything I agree Carefully bringing me back to my senses. I see the things you have accomplished Forgiving offenses of others willingly Holding fast to your faith as promised And to love others unconditionally. Bringing everything from chaos to order You shape my perception and views If I were to select a mother You would always be the one I'd choose!

Patiently I check for you to come forward With red roses and a heartfelt apology Stop making this silence more awkward And start healing my psychology. Time has taken its toll on me My body doesn't feel like mine There will be an answer, let it be And all the stars will begin to align. Is it wrong of me to feel this way That when we came together, it was destiny Did they hold you hostage everyday? The truth will set you free definitely. Me and you we could be heroes WE could have made a difference Let's take turns in retrieving the arrows Cause this virus has a lot of persistence. I know that my actions still have meaning I think we're gonna be alright Someone stop the bleeding After all, you were my only delight.

All around me is water It feels like I just fell Can I ever make it out? Only time will tell. Am I really drowning Or floating at the top I cannot comprehend All I know is I have to make it stop. Am I a blur underwater Are you trying to flee Or are you reaching your hand I can't really see. The level of water feels the same It's just me falling further down Guess there is a force above  Saying that I'm not on my own. I just want to cling to your tip Pull me up faster than everything else and hold me bare Show gravity that you are stronger And give the world a better story to share.       

Honestly I'm just tired. Tired of having to work really hard and not being able to see any of that produce fruit. Why is it that victory suddenly seems so distant and difficult when it is actually closer than before?! Why is it that we cannot accept that we make mistakes and that we are perfectly imperfect? All these unanswered questions lingering in my head make it all the more harder to focus on the more important things like family and God.  But there is another part of my mind that constantly reminds me that it's okay to take wrong decisions sometimes and that its the only way we learn! Speaking of our minds, isn't it amazing how a small part of the mind which is the brain takes care of all the emotions and commands cells! If something so small is capable of handling so much stress and negativity ( literally with other ions ) how much more can our entire soul be able to handle? Think about it.  If we set our mind our entire being to something, everything will ...
