Unspoken Yearning
In shadows cast by doubt and fear,
A lonely heart, its whispers clear.
Yearning for attention, love's embrace,
Yet met with silence, a vacant space.
I reach for stars in the night's embrace,
Hoping to find a tender trace,
But like the wind, he slips away,
Leaving me with doubts that sway.
Does he wander with another's grace,
While I'm left here to find my place?
A phantom love, a haunting thought,
Leaves my heart in battles fought.
His words like echoes, distant and cold,
In a story of love that's left untold.
A puzzle incomplete, a riddle unsolved,
In this tale of longing, my heart's involved.
I question if his heart is torn,
Between another's love and my forlorn,
Aching for affection, a touch so sweet,
Yet trapped in this dance of incompleteness, we meet.
Oh, the agony of an unspoken truth,
A love that's hidden, lost in youth.
I wonder if he'll ever see,
The depth of my love, my silent plea.
But in the midst of this heart's despair,
I find the strength to rise and share,
My worth, my value, my light within,
No longer bound by where I've been.
For loneliness may cast its spell,
But I'll break free, and bid farewell.
To love that's one-sided, undefined,
In solitude's embrace, strength I'll find.
Unselfish heart
In considering humanity in 2024, it doesn't have to be driven by ones desires or passion for doing something, but it has to be based on empathy. Doing unto other people as you would want them do unto you. In this way one can be selfless. Today
Having all these worldly crisis's, the interest is to better oneself and often times, it ends into selfishness. Spinoza would likely remind us that while our passions can lead to progress, they can also cloud our judgment and lead to conflict. But if one has it in them to do good unto others with just expecting that good will be done to them, this brings a good foundation for a harmonious society.
Growing up means a lot of responsibility coming your way. Don't be overwhelmed, breath in and breathe out, start dealing with one thing at a time. Make sure you take your time when dealing with dilemmas, it does not hurt to conduct a SWOC or SWOT analysis of the situation, for every mistake or wrong choice you make, it has an equal impact on your life just as when you make a right choice. Be careful with what you wish for as long as your imagination is not limited.
