Woman,your man is only human.
Don't expect him to read your mind;tell him about it.
Don't expect him to be your rescue from all your troubles,rather let him be part of the help not the full help!
Don't expect him to do all the thinking,remember you have a mind of your own too.
Don't expect him to be the perfect prince charming you've seen in fairytales
He is his own individual,
Don't compare him to your exes
Accept him,embrace his flaws and work together as a team,be his helper too.

Growing up
Growing up is not easy,
Starting to see things as they really are,
Knowing life gets messy,
No longer wishing upon any star,
Growing up is not easy,
Thoughts take a new turn,
There's so much to learn,
Its exciting as well as scary,
At times it all goes well,other times fiery,
But its a step worth taking,
Living requires changing.
And growth is change, though change isn't always progress
Its a worthwhile process.

You matter
Never look down on yourself,
Realise your value,
You matter,
You are worth loving,
You are worth dying for,
You matter.
It doesn't matter if they forget your name,
Or write you off,
You still matter,
God knows you,
All your pain and struggles,
All your secrets and shame,but His love still does not change,
It forever remains endless,limitless,conditionless..
You matter.
Jesus loves you,
He lived just to die for you.

Failure???
Failing once or twice or three times or even more,doesn't make you a failure.
What makes you a failure is your own attitude;giving up and thinking you can't make it,
Now that,makes you a failure,.
Remember that winners never quit and quitters never win,
Its that simple and straight forward,,
No matter what you do,keep moving forward.
Afterall life goes on.

My life when I leave
I'd love my life story to be interestingly  narrative  ,
With words so true;nothing  deceptive  
And inspiration being the   objective
The minds reading or listening to be sincerely   receptive  ,
I'd like the integrity to be  seductive
So people could rush to grab it with none to make it   restrictive
And to earn people strategies to make lives more    decorative  .

That old tree..
Its standing right outside the fence,
Huge and old,
But it still stands strong,more like it needs no defense,
Its stood all seasons hot and cold,
It offers  great shade when its sunny,
And lots of flowers when the wind blows,
I sometimes look at it and laugh because its midlife was kind of funny,
Its a tree with no flaws,
Its very useful,
And inspirational,
And beautiful,
Its deserves to go international..
Poem I wrote about a tree I see everyday ,indeed inspiration is everywhere..

The tongue
Its words cut through flesh,
They go straight to the heart..
They sink in the mind,they linger in there and forever they stay.
They resound like an echo,
And like nightmares,they scream.
Therefore,use your tongue wisely.

Heavenly
You see my hearts darkest place,
My worst fears,
You see my tears before they reach my face.
My lethal thoughts,. You know them all,
Yet you still love me.
Every single feel in me,you trace.
Wherever life takes me,in you i will rest..
Your peace will abide in me
And your love will shine upon me forever.

Do what your heart desires,
Because at the end of your life, you'll be wondering why you tried so hard to please whom you were trying to please. Fulfillment is from within your heart.

LIFE
Life is so precious that it has no price,
Value it,
Keep it safely,
Not that you shouldn't take risks but be realistic,
Once it slips out of you,
You're gone forever,
Don't take it for granted,use it while you still have it.
Use it to add value that will live on even when you're gone.
Live a life of fulfillment,
Follow your heart,
Run after your dreams and capture them,
Nothing should stop you because you only have one life to live with choice,
Choose well
Live well..
Oh you can actually read it from the bottom as well.

Hope

Sometimes they only thing you'll  need to survive is hope,
Even when your standards seem to drop,
You can always cope,
All you need is hope..

Hope that things will get better,
Hope that your bank account will one day get fatter,
Hope enough to make you smarter
As you wait
And realise that time is always perfect,its never too late.

Voices in my head
Voices in my head tell me to slap your face when you offend me,
Voices in my head tell me to cut myself when I'm in pain!
Voices in my head tell me to degrade someone for me to feel better,
Voices in my head tell me to compare myself to others..
Voices in my head tell me to only do what pleases me,
Voices in my head are never happy with me,
Voices in my head are never satisfied!
Voices in my head are always enraged,.
But there's one small voice that comforts me,
Its quiet and calm
But very powerful.,
It only works when I choose to be still and listen....

Every choice has a result,

Choose positivity for positive

results,
So many times I lose my foothold,
The Lord stretches out His right hand,
And takes me aboard,
When I'm almost sinking and drowning,he holds me up and puts me on dry land.
Hopelessness and helplessness bring out the courage in me that cries out for help..
In humility and full surrender.
Jesus Christ saves.
Instead of drowning in pain,shame and sorrow. Let Him take your hand and give you hope,
Let Him carry your burdens and give you rest.
There is not substitute for His love.

Envy
Do not  envy a thing who's origin you do not know.
Appreciate and respect your level in life.
If you want to change it,do so.
Work towards that.
People go through a lot to attain what they own,
You have your own path to move on and life to face.
Focus on improving your being and relevance.
Life is all about choices,chances,phases.
Accept where you are,respect it. Its part of your journey.

Isn't it funny how we want to hear certain things from people, things that we can actually tell ourselves.
Well i guess it just feels better when it feels like someone else cares enough to tell you what you needed to hear from yourself but they say it anyway.

HAPPY :-)
I am happy because I know someone loves me,
I am happy because I know that life is not all about material things,
And I'm so **** happy because I have a unique talent of art which draws inspiration from the heart
I'm happy because life brings hope,
I am happy because failure is always a lesson
I am happy because all my real friends will never leave me,
I am happy because,in this life;I choose my path,
I am happy because nature has no favorites,we're all equal..
I am happy because life is an adventure,
I am happy because life is a journey and not a race,
I'm happy because life is not about fame or popularity,but fulfillment..
I'm happy because,if I count my blessings;there are so many things to be happy about..

Friends
Louden your laughter,

Unveil the dancer in you,

Hold you up like a bra does to *****,

Enlighten your burdens,

Shine light into your darkness.

Us
Us
People look down on us
Without realising that life is unpredictable,
Being at the top today doesn't guarantee the same for tomorrow,
Time and chance happen to us all,
They think we are boring,lame and we don't know the life,
They don't realise that what they refer to as lame and boring is actually integrity,
But its fine if they look down on us,
We'll still shine in the end.

Addicted
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.

Love
Broken hearts were once whole,
There's always a hero,
To do the mending,
And a "villain" to do the breaking.
No one wants theirs broken,
But when you decide to love,you leave it in the open.
You give up your guard,
And lay it into someone elses hand,
Well sacrifice is what makes love love.

Lost
She's got nowhere to go,
She's called a rebel,
They don't know
That,that's her only survival mechanism,
She feels like an already extinct organism,
She craves attention,
She just doesn't know how to get it the right way,
Don't judge her,find out her motivation,
You might just put her in the right path,in the right way.

PERFECT 10
Physically you're a perfect ten,
Not because you're what the whole world may call ideal,
But because,
You're perfect,
Perfect because you're complete,
That's who you were meant to be,
Your features are perfect for you,
Whether you "lack" some or have them all,
You're perfect,
Remember;
You were invented,
Not by mistake but by purpose
Because need is the reason for invention.

Fitting in
You don't have to "fit in"
Its boring!
Be who you want to be,
Its a free world please,
So what if someone doesn't like your clothes when you're actually comfortable in them?its their opinion.
Doesn't matter if your dreams sound too big for some ears,
They're yours.
Uhmmm yeah

Its sad how most women think that their lives are all about finding the perfect man and eventually getting married,
But is that really the center of our existence?,were we really made for just that one thing?
Of course we all want love and all but do we really have to do all we can to be perfect enough for that perfect guy?
For starters,noone is perfect,no matter how much you strive for perfection,you will never arrive at it,
There's so much more to life,its great to have a life partner but that's not much of a fulfillment,
Fulfillment is in doing what you love and making other peoples lives bright,
Fulfillment is in draining yourself of all your talents because you're using them,
Fulfillment is in finding your own joy..
You didn't just happen,
You were created,
You're incredibly beautiful/handsome even when plain,
Opinions shouldn't define you,
Define yourself,
You won't ever live here again,
So living based on peoples opinions will just wear you out for nothing.

How am I supposed to feel beautiful if beauty is specified?
I mean,I'm different!
You tell me to love myself yet you always point out the negatives in me,
Can't you just let me be?
If you have nothing good to say just shut up!
I'm not in denial of my flaws,I just don't need a constant reminder..

Love isn't blind
Loves eyes are as open as can be,
They're not blind,
Love clearly views flaws and takes up the challenge,
Its beautiful if the effort is appreciated and yields goodness,
Its ugly if the effort goes in vain and yields nothing to be proud of.
Life happens to all,
So does love..
It all works out according to how you take it.
Open your eyes in love.

LoVeeee
The kinda love everyone yearns for,
No matter how far I move away from you,
Your love just draws me back,
You're so pure,you forgive and forget,
I don't deserve the kinda love you offer me,
But I can't deny it,because its on it that I live,
Gives me hope and strengthens my hopes,
Your love is deeper than the deepest of the deepest ocean floor.

Love is free,
If it's a trade it's not love, it's a trade.
It's priceless,
You try to pay for love,
You work tirelessly but it just doesn't pay off.
Love must flow,
It's already in perspective,
It can not be forced.
