what...
...is it that you seek?
...is it that you look for?
...is it that i don't have?
is it perfection and splendor?

pardon...
..me for my shortcomings.
...me for my mistakes
...is all i'm asking for
there's no punishment i won't take

will...
...you want me to change myself
...you wish for a better me?
...you want me to be perfect?
something i'm not meant to be

if...
...i did so, would you love me?
...i did so, would you have felt?
...i did so, then i would fade
into a shadow of yourself

sleepscapes

which way will you walk tonight?
is it the wishes that you dream or the fears that you fight?
just remember that whichever way you choose..
you decide whether you win or you loose...
before you sleep ask yourself this question
for soon you may have to make this decision
do you hope for illusions?
or do you want to be enlightened by the things you envision and the things you imagine ...

DON'T!

Don't date because you are desperate.Don't marry because you are miserable.Don't have kids because you think your genes are superior.Don't philander because you think you are irresistible.Don't associate with people you can't trust.Don't cheat. Don't lie. Don't pretend.Don't dictate because you are smarter.Don't demand because you are stronger.Don't sleep around because you think you are old enough and know better.Don't hurt your kids because loving them is harder.Don't sell yourself, your family, or your ideals.Don't stagnate.Don't regress.Don't live in the past. Time can't bring anything or anyone back.Don't put your life on hold for possibly Mr/Mrs Right.Don't throw your life away on absolutely Mr/Ms Wrong because yourbiological clock is ticking.Learn a new skill.Find a new friend.Start a new career.Sometimes, there is no race to be won. Only a price to be paid forsome of life's more hasty decisions.To terminate your loneliness, reach out to the homeless.To feed your nurturing instincts, care for the needy.To fulfill your parenting fantasies, get a puppy.Don't bring another life into this world for all the wrong reasons.To make yourself happy, pursue your passions and be the best of whatyou can be.Simplify your life. Take away the clutter.Get rid of destructive elements: abusive friends, nasty habits, anddangerous liaisons.Don't abandon your responsibilities but don't overdose on duty.Don't live life recklessly without thought and feeling for your family.Be true to yourself.Don't commit when you are not ready.Don't keep others waiting needlessly.Go on that trip. Don't postpone it.Say those words. Don't let the moment pass.Do what you have to, even at society's scorn.Write poetry.Love Deeply.Walk barefoot.Dance with wild abandon.Cry at the movies.Take care of yourself.Don't wait for someone to take care of you.You light up your life.You drive yourself to your destination.No one completes you - except YOU.It is true that life does not get easier with age. It only gets morechallenging.Don't be afraid. Don't lose your capacity to love.Pursue your passions.Live your dreams.Don't lose faith in your God.Don't grow old. Just grow YOU!
