Mom and Dad

came to this world
several months before i was due
had you worried
for the first few years

growing up i know i wasn't the easiest
but still you made no complains

you never forced me to do anything
rather you,
guided me through whatever that is i wanted to do

arguments we've had
only because you wanted the best for me

you gave me everything i wanted
and a whole lot more
all of which i took for granted

i've complained about,
not having angels in my life
but i was wrong
two angels have been with me
since the day i was born

thank you,
mom and dad
love you loads

Choices

excuses we give
about not having a choice
but is it true?
do we always end up not having a choice
or do we push ourselves to that place

sometimes choices aren't made
as it's easier to go with the flow
or responsibilities get in the way
and other times we are scared to,
step out of our comfort zones

the next times you complain about not having a choice
think again
did you really not have a choice?
or did you pretend it is so
since it is the easier that way

Where Are the Angels?

we've read in fairy tales
and heard in songs
stories about angels

possessed with beauty,
which can take our breath away
kindness which can melt a devils heart
saviors,
who guides us through rough times

growing up,
we were given hope
that,
someday an angel would come into our lives
to make everything alright

twenty two years and counting
i'm yet to see one
all i have seen
are people pretending to be angels
misleading everyone around

makes me question myself
where are the angels?
are they for real?
or just false hope
for us to hold onto,
when all is lost
