In the process of trying to fix something you didn't break,you end up cutting yourself,hurting yourself.

The Recipe for a good life
Count your blessings not your problems
Value people not possessions
Keep in mind that nothing lasts forever , so make lasting memories
Try to give more than you receive
Give to those in need
Have more friends than regrets
Be grateful for the start of each new day
It is a chance for a new beginning
Stir in kindness compassion and understanding
Share generously  with those you meet
Serve with a smile and with gratitude
Double or triple the recipe by seasoning it with Love
Watch it grow in yourself and others.

Sometimes
You
Have
To,
Hold your own hand,
Pat your own back,
Blow your own horn..
Not to be selfish,
But to learn to be there for your self when no one else is there for you.

Pain is broken trust,
Pain is a smile holding back tears,
Pain is a must,
Pain is being ruled by your fears,
Pain is aiming for numbness,
Pain is seeking attention,
Pain is emptiness,
Pain is a deep emotion,
Pain is feeling lost in your own head,
Pain is losing sleep,
Pain is when good things fade,
Pain is deep.

BEAUTY

You are beautiful,
But how long will that beauty last?
Don't treat the one that loves you like a fool,
Just because your options are vast,
A day will come when the beauty will fade,
Thats a thought most of us dread,
But it is reality,
Infact beauty is vanity,
Of course it is good to look at,
But what about what is in the heart?

MORTAL BODY

The body with time deteriorates,
Its like each day is a count down,
No,i'm not perssimistic.
Satisfy your soul,fulfill it.
As for your body, don't let it lead you astray.
Control it.
Love it,own it. You will never live anywhere else but in it. Embrace it..

Be kind to yourself,
You are the one you listen to the most.
You are the one you live with every second,
You are your greatest asset.
Be kind to yourself.

In the summer of love
I was fourteen,
I did the acid
And I tripped that trip.

My hair was long and wavy
And my body was lean.

I could look in the mirror
And say 'you're a lean mean machine'.

Sometimes these days
I hear myself saying that
I'll turn my thoughts to the grave.

When I came
Face to face
With my additions
I could see how I misbehaved.

One day the light came on,
I knew I was my master
Not my ****** slave.

There is a season,
Like it says in the good book.
I couldn't find my bearings,
The ground beneath my feet it shook.

I've lived a life and I've broke my heart
I've twisted up sayings like
You have to start from the start

Now why do you want to say that,
That I just come from a squirt
That's gone and left me with my feelings hurt.

It's almost time to lay my head to rest,
I want to say I gave it my all,
Nothing short of I have done my best.

Before
You expect
others to accept
You,you first have
To accept yourself...

Sometimes you're not in love,
You're addicted,
Your heart knows it's wrong,
But your mind has put so much effort in it and thrived on it so much that it doesn't want to let go.
It's not always love,sometimes it's addiction,
Even on days that you find out what you have is not going to last,
You still go back,
Even after finding out they are not good for you,
You still stick to them..
You may be addicted.

I miss you
My fondness of you can't seem to find a way out,
My heart has no open door for you to leave,
But if thats the case,i'll make a hole so that i can bleed you out.
I miss you so much today,
Maybe because i'm experiencing hormonal imbalances or genuinely miss you,
But the pain of missing you is better than the pain of being with you and feeling bothered and having you feel unsatisfied. 
I'm sorry for being selfish.
I want your hug so bad,
Your kisses on my cheek..
And my forehead.
I'll always be there for you whenever,if you need a shoulder to lean on,if you need a listening ear.. i'll be waiting for you.

Walk into my shoes
To get some clues
About my blues
And my hues
Its so easy to boo
Without knowing who's Who

Me and You
We all belong to the same zoo
And I am even ready to pay your dues too
In return all I want is you to stay True
Oh did that sound like Deja-Vu
Still it is, was or will never be about me, but what 'WE' have been through

Put others before yourself, that has been my finding till now and I would
Because that is something I rarely see others doing while they easily could
A little bit of caring, a little bit of sharing can do wonders, ain't that what Stephen Hawking proved
I want to be better, I want to be ahead, ambitious, opportunist these are the words we now a days rely onto
But then why cannot we think that we can walk together and can still make it through
And oh! What an ineffable sight that be, when unconditionally you count one me and I count on you

We boast we brag about 'all mighty' things we do
Yet we don't realize we are missing 'Almighty's cue
There is plenty for all of us, given our 'Needs' we choose
We might win over each other, but nature oh that is where even humans need to look for Truce
What good are the nukes doing or billions being spent on them from decades leaves me amused
Why not divert it to education, nutrition, sustainability, short term long term what so ever that will do more good

Walk into my shoes
To get some clues
I will take care of my blues
I will share with you my hues
But please next time before you boo
Just know who is who.

Time flies when you're having fun?
*******, time flies when you're down and done.
Time flies when you're dying inside.
When you're picking up the pieces and crying in need,
time leaves.
There's no time, to settle or ease.
There's no time, because time never sleeps.
There's no time, so don't beg and don't plead.
Time will leave you for dead.
Time left, and it doesn't care about the time that you spent.
You're going through the motions and you're barely alive but,
time flies when you're dying inside.
