perfectly good

everyday the same search
deep within
today’s great though
i have something new
better than yesterday

backspace is assaulted
cracks visible
yet i go through
i have something new
better than yesterday

this time it’ll work
i have a feeling
this one is readable
i have something new
better than yesterday

it’s been so long
the pen has dried off
this is worth it
i have something new
better than yesterday

i had so much to say
all lost in time
was that worth it
waiting for something new
better than yesterday

waiting for perfection
i stopped being good
all i can show
edits of blank drafts
just like yesterday

striving to better
oft we mar what’s well

said shakespeare once
so here’s my imperfect poem
just like yesterday

wishful thinking

one day i’ll be up so high
first to see the sun up in sky
over valleys, indian ocean
will see the earth in motion

one day i’ll be in so deep
on the edge of earth, taking a leap
a school of fish alongside
showing me the way as my guide

one day i’ll walk on land
no prejudice, just hand in hand
no race, religion, discrimination
and another bucket list after the occasion
