Poem: "Energy"

The source of the heart is always being sought
And I continue to wander

Unable to accept that it is okay
Unable to decide that it is good

Human nature is always universal
Days tossed about by the light and darkness we fall into

But that is what it means to keep questioning life
And to fulfill it
I am made to realize this in the daily life I have built up

If I stop
All movement becomes nothing

By me moving
Everything changes into something

The existence that is here now is created by myself
And I leave footprints on this earth

Thoughts sleep within the body
Overflowing power moves to the heart and dwells in these eyes

This is a role only I can fulfill
To burn one life, the life of one person

In the smoldering, chaotic gray
Making the most of this moment that only exists now
Realizing that no one else but me can change it

The changing seasons teach me
The flowing wind pushes my back
When I listen to the bustle of people

My own figure is reflected there
And it is carved into this path I walk

When I found weakness in my lowered gaze
Strength spread across the sky I looked up at

Sara

When cycling through emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure
People consume energy.

Whether it is positive
Or negative
It keeps me spinning.

Just when I think I have spun at high speed
It can sometimes stop
And there are times when the gears do not mesh well and cannot turn

Frustrating and irritating
A double sense of resentment fills me.

People have emotions
And cannot stay at the same rotation speed

While having walls, large or small
I look at someone and become concerned
I look at myself and become concerned.

That is how people are made
And those waves create my own energy.

When feeling down or wanting to cry, do it thoroughly
When happy or wanting to laugh, do it with all your might

That stretches my own spring
And determines my future axis of self.

If things remain half-finished,
energy will stagnate,

so at such times,
by coming to a complete stop once,
and then setting things in motion again,

the heat that serves as a driving force will well up,
and turn into a light overflowing with vitality.

I believe that is what human energy is.
