Living In A Dream

Lost in a dream where failures get their chance
To be more than mere fancies set aside.
Getting there first may not mean sure entrance.
Acceptance is up to time to decide.
Success not defined by numbers or fame.
Too little is bare for the eye to see!
Unwritten are the rules to play this game
But yet, this chaos is heaven for me.
A labour of love brings a bliss enough.
A dream keep me grounded when times get tough.

Living

Perhaps it's a highway,
With many burns and crashes?
A free open road,
Paved with grief and ashes?

I say it's a labyrinth.
Which no one can avoid.
A maze we have to start at birth,
But enter map devoid.

We are meant to bump,
Stray off the beaten track.
When we see our dead ends,
We stumble our way back.

Perhaps there's a certain route,
Our destinies and fate.
But we never truly know,
Until it's far too late.

First post

Hello, people. No one will probably read this in a while, but I need to do a first post. My blog is called "Thoughtfully Speechless" because I don't really talk much when you meet me in person, but I actually have a lot going on in my head that I'd like for you to know. I'll be leaving a lot of stuff here for the world to read, and I'd like to hear what you have to say. For now, I'll leave you with one of the first real poems that I wrote. Meaning, I wrote it for purposes other than school.

The Silver Lining

In a sea of endless cloud,
What’s a silver lining?
Such gray never sparkles
When the sun is shining!
Are your weeds emeralds,
With the sun’s mocking glow?
Are dew drops really pearls,
When weak dawn-lights show?

What’s a silver lining?
A struggle of light and dark?
If the storm were giving way,
A rainbow shows its arc.
Or perhaps it’s surrender
Of the little glow within?
Of the happy light of day,
Fading, fading and defeated.
To another hue of gray.
