Growing up is the continual act of stepping forward. But I am stepping back and forth coz' I don't want to leave the gold memories behind.

Or so you taught

Come on, just keep it simple,

If you want to add beauty to everything you do,

Without any sense and barely understandable,

You just made it a piece of trash,

Well, in fact, it does not,

Makes it beautiful and full of sense,

Because you taught that making it that way,

Some tend to make it complicated,

But look how I made it simple,

It’s because I wanted to make you comfortable,

Seeing those deep words just makes you feel vulnerable,

So I made things clear and simple,

As you go through this poem,

You’ll feel that it’s nonsense,

You’ll feel that it’s nonsense,

As you go through this poem,

So I made things clear and simple,

Seeing those deep words just makes you feel vulnerable,

It’s because I wanted to make you comfortable,

But look how I made it simple,

Some tend to make it complicated,

Because you taught that making it that way,

Makes it beautiful and full of sense,

Well, in fact, it does not,

You just made it a piece of trash,

Without any sense and barely understandable,

If you want to add beauty to everything you do,

Come on, just keep it simple.

Must be

Before being placed where I am right now, I just walked past the streets and saw people protesting, fighting for the possible rights they failed to attain. I walked past an alley just to see a group of teens beating another kid and I can say that they are just high schoolers, and I said to myself that there must be something to be done here. Now, I'm sitting in this place trying to accomplish everything I said to myself earlier which must all be done. The worst I've witnessed here is receiving an envelope with cash, handed to me by a man in a suit who formally demanded me to do him a favor, and I felt very uncomfortable seeing this man who was smiling at me as if he was expecting me to agree. Oh well then, I tossed the envelope back at him and crossed my legs on the tabletop. I know that this is not the way a president must act but who cares? There's an alligator in front of me anyway. "I, am very sorry to disappoint you. But it's against my will to do you this favor. My service is for my people and not for you alone.", I said to him as I stood up from my seat and faced the mirror to fix my tie. "I must not make those people wait any much longer. I'm going to give them what they exactly deserved. I must do everything that must be done, and 36 hours is not enough. But at least in those hours, I have already done something.", Those were the words that I uttered to myself before walking outside to face the protesting citizens, my citizens. For 36 hours.
