The Five Ws

Who is 'me'?
Will be a question I'll forever ask
Wanted to be more, wanted to be many
Welcome to the show, a man behind a mask

What's the meaning of this journey?
Waiting for time to clear the dust
Weakness played a trick or three
Walking down a path that none can forecast

Where can I find the answer actually?
Written clues whispered through the grass
Walls crumble when I start feeling weary
World is vast when I'm ready to leave the class

Why does clarity lead to insanity?
With a blink of an eye, life goes fast
Wrongly judged before society hears my plea
Wasting every breath for a charade to cast

When will I reach the highest I can be?
Wealth is the focus and health remains in the past
Wicked truth everyone find it hard to see
Wish someone told me that the answer 
comes last

A.M.B.I

Another day walking by the shore
Another day replaying the sudden situation
A grief I've never dealt with before
The loss of god's perfect creation

Massive void located deep in my core
My dad was my main source of motivation
Major price to bear I wish I could ignore
I'm so lost I can't find my own direction

Barely able to stand by myself anymore
Borderline falling deep into depression
But I have a legacy I promise to restore
A flame I will carry in succession

I just lost my lifelong mentor
A parcel of life swept by the ocean
A life he kept telling me to explore
A life I will miss without a question

My Morning Dew

A voyage I embarked, in search of something new
I'm ready to be a captain, but for now I'm the only crew
In the middle of the sea, filled with nothing in view
A treasure piece I seek, its value known by so few

“Plenty of fish out there, the right one will find you”
Clenching on that blindly when love is long overdue
Little star in the sky, I stopped deciphering the clue
Despair reeled me in so deep, no light passes through

But then one day, you appear out of the deep blue
It felt magical, butterflies appeared along every avenue
Is this a dream or my wish finally come true
Almost abandoned the ship, but fate came to the rescue

Slowly falling for her, she felt the same way too
I wrote letters to her, something I never thought I’d do
I'm ready to be her captain, something I look forward to
And I look forward to the morning dew, every day with you
