Back Up

Every once in a while
We falter and stumble.
Figuratively or literally,
It is something that we all experienced.

We look around to see if we are seen,
Trying to hide the embarrassment
That is seeping to the tip of our ears.

Self-consciousness dyes our mind;
Shame and humiliation and unease
Stains our rationality.


But if there are some words that I can provide
To you in hopes of encouragement,
These are the words that I will say to you.


I have seen sorrow falling down,
Blurring the heavens and the black night
With rain where our bad thoughts can drown.

I have seen dreams crushed by grief,
Lured they were by the mermaid's smile -
Now to be cemented in their past.

I have seen shadows looming the hearts,
Posing as a token of rest and delight -
Only to block all ambition and want.

We once lost our aim and aspiration,
Giving away our control and strength
To someone who exploits in return.

But I have seen more.
Although we falter and stumble,
It becomes okay after a while.

Exhaustion and sadness?
Resentment and failure?
Those are the fuel of something you once dreamt of.

I have seen miracles pass through,
Striking the blues with radiant daylight -
Bidding the cold night a kind adieu.

I have seen the world colored green,
Rough strokes of blue and white
Painting the longed skylight.

I have heard the laughter of the breeze,
Gently tucking the hair behind the ears
And erasing the trails of dried tears.

Every once in a while
We falter and stumble..
And that is okay.

We aim and miss,
But we score so much more -
The life you found fault was not the core.

It will be fine,
So shrug it off -
Don't bow your head in submission;
Dust yourself back up.

      @Soups It's called Pursuit of Knowledge by Zack Hemsey
      Here it is:

      Noble Ran Wow, I really like the lyrics; what song is it?
    4. Noble Ran Jul 28, 2021
      Kinda sounds like this song:
      "I've seen the treasure that waits for a man to find
      I've seen the consequence when the sun and the moon combine
      I've seen the peaks of mountains that reach out and touch the sky
      The struggle to survive and the desert where dreams have died
      I've seen the best and the worst that we try to hide
      The salt of the earth and the evil of humankind
      I've seen the wrecked and ravaged and scavengers rummage through debris
      And those that searched in hope, finding meaning where none once used to be
      And some that stormed the beaches
      Some that pledged allegiance
      Some that scorched the earth for motives that they don't agree with
      Seen some get lost among the current of their grievance
      While the tide of death and birth left some speechless
      I've seen love bring some to their knees
      And some lift hearts when they smile for no reason
      I've seen fairy tale endings to believe in
      And now I see a man who'd see the same if he'd but seize it"

      Okay, I just realized this isn't very encouraging. More like saddening.
