To dare is scary
To dare is scary,
Something new to the mind,
And seemingly wrong to all the eyes on you..
In search of perfection you realise you're only human,
Then you begin to live as you should,
Doing what matters to your heart,
Knowing you were born alone and will die alone,
Therefore the path in between your life and death must be under your rules,
On a straight path,acknowledging God your creator and living your life.

Appreciate what you have,while you still have it,
Don't wait for it to go before you realise how much value it holds.
Realism is evidence based,
Pessimism is assumption based.

New day,
New hope,
New strategies,
New enemies due to your pending greatness,
New armour because you need it,
New prayer because your thoughts have changed,
New day

Words
Let's not undermine the power of the tongue,
From it,the mind pours either negativity or positivity,
And those bring effects.
What we say doesn't only affect us,
It also affects the listeners,even unknowingly,
Let's sieve our words before we let them out,
Taste them before we spit them
Let your words heal not break.

Rhyme Time,..
A woman of pride,

Is not one to take just for a ride,

She's one you could you use as a

guide,

Love her,make her your bride.

#Thinking..
Roses are so beautiful,
Very colorful,
And so attractive,
Who would guess that holding one would injure someone?
Roses hold a life lesson,
A lesson that anything however beautiful,
Has its deadly sides..
Admiring the beauty of a rose flower and drawing a lesson from it..

Blessed to bless
When with more than enough,
You're capable of giving someone else enough,
Fighting poverty isn't all about pushing the UN to act,
When in fact,
You may be capable.
If not monetarily able,
The least we can do is appreciate what we have and pray for the unstable,
Prayer misses no point,
It makes connections even where there seems to be no possible joint.
There's a never a point in life when you have nothing to thank God for.

Cry of a lover
You came as a sweet  surprise ,
Thoughts of you kept me up all night till I saw the sun  rise ,
I didn't see our end  coming ,
Thought we'd last because what we shared had no  timing ,
My heart is seriously  wounded ,
My soul feels out of place so  unwanted .
Like I'll never love  again ,
Oh my love,why did you have to betray me?you've placed on my mind such a huge  burdain .
One of my few love poems,trying out new stuff.

Writers block again?
Write ten words and feel they don't make sense,
The mind feels dense,
Ideas seem to not flow as they should,
Its like they use the wrong road.
Catching inspiration is no longer the cure,
Perhaps its about just writing,no matter how imperfect....

Sowing and reaping
Let us sow in faith that we shall reap,
And reap in grace that we shall enjoy the sweat invested.

“»»“««“
So I stand in front of my mirror,
And I don't like what I see,
My insecurities could be minor,
But you see,
Due to what I watch on my screen daily,
I feel inferior,
My mind goes hazy,
Feeling like I'm not good enough material,
But then I stand to think and realise,
That the only way I can be beautiful,
Is by changing and making better what's beyond the sight of my eyes,
And by accepting myself as unique and complete hence beautiful and wonderful.
Beauty starts from within,don't compare yourself to anyone,you're a unique individual.

Be kind to yourself
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.

Hope lives!
I wonder, has there existed a time like this one?
When everyday feels like the last, fear looms and moves so freely its everywhere,
Breathing in fear, inhaling it..
While exhaling hope and faith,
Losing ourselves to the calamity that has befallen us.
But hope lives. Be grateful for each day that comes and make it count. Drown yourself in what makes you happy. Shut out what drains you. Hope lives!

Once upon a time,
Life was easy!
Before people had the guts to **** for a dime,
Before everyone got occupied and too busy.
Nowadays,life is the battle of the fittest,
The pursuit of happiness is what we're on,
We have to dig deeper for that happiness even in a situation which seems the ugliest,
Because if we don't,we'll never be happy until we're gone..

Letting go
Is when you realize someone has been a big part of your life but you can't be with them anymore so you hand them over to history,
And move on to your destiny without a piece of them.

E ART H
An artist creates art to speak.
The earth is art,
And all in it.

The stars in their right places,
Flowers well coloured,
The moon on point.

Its the greatest of all works of art
Filled with perfection,
And all stories in it.

Its speaks of nature,
And its beauty.

If you don't see any good in yourself,
Look at you through Gods eyes;
The bible,open it up,take it off the shelf,
Don't allow satan to feed you with his lies,
No   matter  how much sin can distance you from God,
He's  never  too far to hear you,
He's just a few words away,a prayer away
Speak to Him,
Call upon Jesus Christ,He's the only way to GOD.

\_\_\_\ _Reflection
You're perfect the way you are!
You're someones missing puzzle piece,
And a jigsaw puzzle piece as we know is specific,
It is the way it is because its meant to be that way to fit perfectly to complete the picture,
Don't let words bring you down,
I bet people would take back some of the words they've said about you but they just can't
Because words can't be reversed,
Listen,you're incredible.
One of a kind,
Don't try to change what you can't change because if you can't change it;its simply telling you its meant to be there.
Wouldn't you love to fit perfectly on the part you're supposed to be?
If yes,let yourself be..
Something for someone who must know that he or she is perfect,I'm referring to physical perfection..yes we're perfect the way we are.if we can't change it,guess what?its here to stay and its high time we accepted it.

Suffering
A reminder that what the body feels as pain is actually what strengthens the soul.
When the body hurts,remember that your spirit is being strengthened,for it is then that the spirit seeks its creator.
Not that to suffer is good,but it is gain.
Not self inflicted pain but just pain.

Thoughts under the moon
You can really understand how bright the moon is if you're in a place that's dark without lights,only relying on the night skys brightness.
You can really understand something when its the point of focus
Just like in the case of the moon,when you're surrounded by lights you see the moon as a tiny point of light in the sky,
But when the lights go out,you realise the moon actually illuminates.
In a dark situation,a seemingly little thing you didn't ever picture making sense,actually would make sense.
Like the bible you might have left dusty on the shelf,
Or even someone you never thought you'd ever befriend.
Moon was full and I thought of this.

Inspiration
Inspiration is like a jackpot,
It just hits you,
It takes over your mind for a moment,it leaves no spot,
It immediately gives you the courage to pursue,
Then when you give it a thought,
You realise it won't be an easy route,
But you still take it,
Because its always worth it.

A broken heart
A broken heart can love,
A broken heart survived,
A broken heart still beats,
A broken hearts pieces yearn to be picked up and put back together,
A broken heart was once whole,
A broken heart still supplies blood to the body,
A broken heart is not to be forsaken for;
A broken heart is as beautiful and as functional as one that is whole except
A broken heart has known brokenness.

Like a Book
Open my whole being and read me,
Cautiously flip each page having understood.
And where the grammar is wrong, correct me without changing my context.
Highlight your favorites, bookmark your most memorable.
And when you find your chapter,
Let's begin to write together.

LOVE
Love; not to get back the exact same love but to give out a part of you,
To share that which someone might never have known if you hadn't crossed their path.
Giving to receive is not really giving,
It is actually lending.
If someone does not appreciate your presence,it's alright because someone else does appreciate it.
Do not put your self worth on the line in the name of giving love, love yourself enough to respect your boundaries. Give love but do not lose yourself in the process.
REMEMBER;
TO LOVE IS TO FORGIVE,
TO LOVE IS TO LET GO
TO LOVE IS TO GIVE FREEDOM
TO LOVE IS TO TRUST
TO LOVE IS TO RESPECT.
TO LOVE IS TO FREELY GIVE.

My Father in heaven,
Thank you for giving me an opportunity to live,
Thank you very much for the gift of salvation,
Thank you for your forgiveness and love,
Thank you very much that even if I feel like I don't deserve your love and forgiveness,you still love me and forgive me,
Thank you very much for loving me despite all my wrong doings especially those I do on purpose,
Thank you very much for not leaving me alone.
Amen..

Late Night poetry
Ideas are usually splendid,
Because it kinda feels like you're in isolation when everyone around is asleep and you're awake.
And in a lonesome state,ideas creep in pretty well,leave out the bad ones.
Midnight creativity,is unique and fun and interesting,
Being single shouldn't be considered as being lonely,
It should be considered as being strong and able to stand as an individual,
It should be a time to build on yourself more,
To make yourself more self reliant,
Singlehood is no curse,its an opportunity,

Scars of sin
The scars of sin,
Don't hurt only your body,
They hurt deeply from within,
They torture mentally,
They leave you feeling unworthy,
When sin gives you a scar,
Look to God,
He's the only one who can heal them to make you smooth again.

WRITE YOURSELF TO LIFE
Some things hurt because we see them through the eyes of other people and  put them in the hands of other people..they only hurt because we picture what they will see in us when we break apart or what they will say. But really you affect yourself.
I want to reach a point in my life where my opinion matters the most. I don't want to feel pain because of what i think people think or what i think people will say,if i hurt i want it to be because i approve of it. I want it to be because i want to learn and to heal from the pain. If i hurt,i want to be the reason i hurt. Maybe that i let myself down or i did what i was not supposed to do. And not let my ego hang on others views of who i am.
You are valuable. You will never exist again,there is only one you. Encourage yourself, count yourself as important and write yourself to life..

If my body isn't what society labels as "ideal",
It wouldn't affect me anymore because society is just society,
And we're all part of society,
Filled with opinions,
Which are usually dogmatic!
What matters is how I choose to view myself,
I may not be the so called"every guys dream"
But hey,there's so much more to live for than "perfection" to impress a crowd which actually doesn't even care,
Its all about gossip and headlines these days,
But they all fade within hours,
Even when I become what society has termed as"ideal" or "perfect",
I'd still struggle when I leave the public scene if I haven't fully accepted and loved the true me,the inner me.

Standards
Create your own,
Just don't push people up to them.

Worth
Often times when unappreciated,
We feel our value decrease,our ego crushed and our abilities downgraded,
But really our value should not rely on what others think,
It should rely on what we know of ourselves,
Trust and believe in yourself,
It wont matter if no one else does,
Respect yourself;only someone with no self respect wont respect you,
Placing our value on how people see us or what they say of us is not stable,
Because people see us the way they see themselves,they treat us the way they treat themselves.
And if they don't treat themselves right,they wont treat you right.
Therefore you do not want to base your value on how someone else values themselves or not.
Know your worth.

About you ^_^
You may be seen by others as just an ordinary guy,
But to me that's even worse than a lie,
I see a star in you,
I find you cool,
And I wonder what makes you think you're a fool,
You deserve only the best,
In the eyes of my heart you're better than the rest,
You say you always mess up,
But I don't see the bad in what you call crap,
Maybe am the one who needs some mental therapy,
So the thoughts I have about you could be erased or just become history.
Uhh just writing,haha.

TOUGH TIMES
Before hard times pass;    
Life stinks and hurts,
Worse than a wound oozing pus.
In such times....
Its always wise to realise that;
Every kind of pain,contains gain.
So choose to endure,
Because such times are always
An opportunity to bloom and mature......
My very first poem on HP :D
