I choose to be inspired...

With all the junk in the world, it’s easy to pack up your bags and put an end to all your efforts

Curl up in the dark and hold on to your fears. For even though they cripple you till you are but a puppet, they become the security you have and the life you choose to live because lets face it, ignorance is bliss and fear only is a culprit in making sure that you remain in your life of mediocrity and utter meaninglessness. so in an effort to get out of my rut: 

I’m tired, I’m tired of people complaining and choosing not to do anything

I am tired of the lies fed by the media, music, fashion, even churches and even more the lies that these sects have made my mind believe,

I’m tired of being afraid that because it happened to you, it will happen to me too

I’m tired of the evil belief that life and meaning is only for the rich and those that have money

I’m tired of this disease that’s eating through our skins and has lodged its self deep in our bones and has engraved its indelible mark in our DNA running constantly through our blood

Blood that has been shed to bring life, blood that signifies newness, love, compassion, new slates, salvation, truth and hope

In the midst of all the chaos and crap that the world keeps mass-producing, I choose to be inspired

I choose to rise above and beyond, seriously haven’t you heard that I am a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, the determiner of my own future: as it is written: "life and death I have given you I hope you choose life"

I hope you choose to move and shake, break and lose these barriers and walls that has so caged us

I hope you choose to triumph I hope you choose to be all that you were created to be; as for me, I choose to be inspired, I choose to be great.

The Essence of Time

Tick tock tick tock

Time keeps ticking waiting for no one

Like a train on a schedule

Answerable to no one unapologetic for leaving without me

Tick tock tick tock

Makes me question

Keeps me on my toes

Not letting a single moment slip without being accountable

Tick tock tick tock

What have I achieved in the past minute

Even when nothings done, it counts

Never to be relived, never going down that road again

Tick tock tick tock

Scary thought, especially when priorities are undetermined

Tick tock tick tock

Wait, what just happened?

Ten years gone

Left daydreaming for too long

Over indulged in unrealities

Letting substance pass away

Ten years ahead

Ten years left to live

To regret or embrace

Choose to take charge

Make the difference

Use the time afforded me

Beat time at its tricks

Make the best of every minute

Tick tock tick tock

I have done it again

Every hit made a home run

What’s next on the list?

Achieving every dream

Conquering all life throws at me

Tick tock tick tock

Guess what?

I caught the train this time.

Just penned down some thoughts to encourage myself and everyone who reads this that no matter how fast life goes by, the mistakes made, even battles won, there’s always time ahead to change the story when hope seems lost, press on when you feel discouraged, and be inspired from what is left behind; even more, by what’s ahead. When the time comes to run, run like hell, if you have to slow down wait and build patience but in the heat of all never forget what’s most important:

Life. Purpose. Passion. Hope. Love. Inspiration. People. God

P.S: always remember the essence of time is to inspire hope.

A Splash of Hope...

Just like there's a story behind every song,

theres a message waiting to be set free

Just like there is a revealation waitng to be seen

there is a future waiting to be lived

Just like theres an experience waiting to last till eternity and be remembered,

so also is there love that waits to seal and bind;

to become one with...
