A Compromise I Will Never Make with Life

I will never compromise with my self-doubt, negative remarks from society, and fear of not earning anything back from my efforts.

I keep writing to at least become an underrepresented voice on the stage of a piece of stone, instead of a nonexistent silence.

I married the words out of blind love with acute mind, with no sparkling ring, official certificate, honeymoon sunshine, newborn crying in a lullaby, or soft ‘good night’ kiss that promises a brighter tomorrow.

I appreciated I had two nephews whom I had already seen as my kids upon seeing them through the glass window. I felt blessed to make an effort to live a life in my name, not in the name of ‘face the reality’.

I desire to interact with a breathing mind expressing their perspectives in an ambitious tone, frantic hand gestures, and caring for creative humanity. I hope to see a similar sparkling reflection from other people’s eyes.

There is no boundary of learning in nowadays society.

But there is a boundary to pursue a life goal inside the heart.

I cross boundaries to have the life I want to achieve.

There was no retirement for writers because being a writer is a life. I will someday make a compromise with the prejudice and criticism of society while cultivating my writing, sharpening my critical thinking, and twittering about irreplaceable human creation.

Something I hope I can hold with a pen.

I dreamed of being an employed writer, but now I enjoy balancing learning, working, reading, backpacking, and occasional writing. And rapping my heart out!
