HAVE YOU…? To laugh! To dance! To love! Have you lived? Or have you just survived? Just trying to get by, making it from time to time. Is today a reincarnation of who you were yesterday? Am I a future plan in the making, soon to be a past memory just thrown away?
SPRING AGAIN Dark shadows of my yesterdays may or may not remain. My sheltered days have been stained but may soon come to fade. I remembered those cold and endless days. Perish the dangerous games I once played— a hellish winter’s masquerade. But in the end…the storms that left me entangled, the heavy price I paid. Time heals all wounds. Yes…so they say. Look everyone…the seasons have changed. Now here lies a flower that blooms. My winter turned to spring. Almost in disbelief…feeling so amazed. Almost like a passing phase. Who ever knew that my frozen soil could ever be fertilized again? Damn! I can’t believe it’s spring again. Seasons come and go so soon. Wow! Can’t believe it’s spring again! Can’t believe it’s spring again.

Can I finally… Dare to live as I dare to die. And if I am doing neither then what is this? Just existing… Not living. Trying to get by… making it from time to time. The endless circles… of my beginning and end. I must, I must, I must be invented all over again.
