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

Muse
A muse,
The artists creation,
Created from inspiration,
Crafted with utmost perfection.
Perfection because art is flawless,
Flows smoothly like sand in an hour glass.

Tip
Tip
When you feel underappreciated is when you should toot your own horn, clap for yourself and pat your own back. Because sometimes people don't even know what you know about what you've been through, you know best what you deserve and if no one gives it to you, give it to yourself! Remind yourself of what you deserve without waiting for someone else to give it to you. Love yourself enough to be your number one fan and to applaud yourself!
It carries more weight.

When there's a storm or a strong wind,plants bow down to Him,
I'm inspired to do the same in my times of pain,
I will bow down to Him,
For He is my refuge,
And my comfort,
Like the grass bowing,it bends but never breaks,so will it be with me.
He is my God and my king forever,
And I will forever surrender to Him.

You always tell me how beautiful you think I am,I really appreciate that..
But it would be great to hear you say how beautiful you think my soul is because one day my body won't be the same as now,my face will wrinkle and the glow of my eyes will fade,
But my soul will forever be the same,nothing will change it,even in death it will remain beautiful..
I'd love you to see me beyond your physical sight,look within me and see what I want you to see and love me for..

Gifts
Its wonderful when people know their gifts and embrace them,
When they use them,
And succeed by them,
Crown themselves kings and queens in that one field and give themselves a befitting name,
Bring greatness and not shame,
Yearn for a great impact,not just fame..
Realise that all are different and they don't have to be the same.
Make a difference,
Be THE point of good reference.

Jealousy
Jealousy;
Makes you feel like your heart is being eaten up,
And your stomach feels like its got a sink hole,
Makes you feel not good enough,
Gives you unnecessary hatred,
Makes you insecure for no reason,
It hurts only you,
Its cure?
Just take a self cleaning mind therapy and realise you're more than your feelings of rage and that you can overcome them.

Follow your heart
"Follow your heart, " they say
But don't they know, it's too broken to take the lead?
How does one follow scattered, shattered pieces, they're all over the place, so where exactly should she follow..

Beautiful
I'm beautiful,
I didn't evolve from an ape,
I was created perfectly in His image,
He created me with no mistakes,
Due to His perfect nature..
My flaws only flow from within,
As for the outward appearance,that's perfect because He made me that way.
You're physically perfect the way you are,you don't need anyones approval to be beautiful,just love and accept yourself. :)

REAL!TY CHECK..
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..

Bones crashing,
Blood rushing,
She's in pain,
Strength she can no longer retain,
She's hurting,
Her heart is slowly collapsing,
Her mind so confused,
She now wants back the faith which her heart once refused,
She's hopeless,
She needs a touch of the Saviour Jesus Christ and her pain will definitely be less.

Lies
Do not let anger consume you when someone lies to you,
We all lie.
In the first place we lie to ourselves.
Actions speak louder they say, and that's true.
Before you realise a certain lie, you avoided the truth through actions,
We sometimes turn a blind eye, and when things become too big to be hidden we decide to see.
When someone lies to you, you lied to yourself first. For not being true to yourself and turning a blind eye.

People lie to us because we lie to ourselves in the first place. We want to see things as we wish they were not as they actually are.

YOU ARE NEVER ALONE
No matter how you feel,
You should know that you are never alone.
Someone somewhere has been through something similar and survived,you can survive too.
If pain gave out a dark colour,the world would be dark. It would be night forever.
But again maybe if pain was written on every face, we would judge people less and accept them as they are. We would help each other and not step on each other. We would carry each others burdens.
Hold on,and as you hold on,be nice to people. Most people are hurting,thats exactly why more people keep getting hurt because as they say "hurt people,hurt people".
If you need someone to talk to,there are people willing to listen. They love you and they care about you. I'm here too,any day any time.

I'm not a loner!,
Don't force me to make friends,
I do that when I feel its necessary..
I don't make friends to have a wide social network,
I make friends to have building and lasting companionship,
My friends are my choice,not necessarily my reflection because we don't agree on everything,
I believe that friendship is strengthened by  compatibility,something that will bind you together,
And that friends are people with different destinies but going hand in hand towards the same direction.

PAIN
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.

Impressing the whole world?
Just so I can be more likeable?
Be everyones "yes man",

$!_!$
Being called ugly just like being called beautiful is an opinion not a fact!Don't let it define you,
Have your own definition of who you are,
Once you define yourself,you'll be unstoppable because you'll be aware of who you truly are,
And when you have a definition no words can talk you out of your beliefs about yourself unless you decide to let them,
Give noone the right to define you,noone can do it better than you..

life
You're not a mistake,
You're a product of love,
Whether born with everything,
Born with nothing,
Or born with some things,
One thing is certain;
You were born with a purpose.
And life is what is important,
As you live you can brighten the future and dim the ugly past.

““““|“““
Its the little things we do that matter the most,because great things are made up of small things,
Its  example enough that you had to crawl before you could walk or that a beach is made up of small particles of sand,or even that your bunch of hair is made up of just tiny strands,indeed small things count,.so don't underestimate the power of your daily efforts,results always come,never failure just results;either to learn from or to build on.

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..

**Beauty**
The beauty of the night sky is wonderful beyond comprehension..
The stars form up really beautiful shapes,
They show that someone great put them where they are by command..
They paint a great picture of heaven in my mind,
If they shine that much and beautify the sky,
How much more beauty does heaven have,?
I wonder..
291 · Oct 2015
Social influence??
If you don't want to be like "them",
Why hang out with "them"??,
Why hang out with people when behind their backs you complain about them?
Don't waste time complaining about things you can actually change,
You end up sounding like a broken record you know,
Make your decisions,
Surround yourself with goodness if that's what you want.
Its up to you.. ;)

Loyalty
Loyalty.. When you find loyalty in humanity, treasure it.
We are a rotten bunch,
With unmended hearts and bitter souls,
Striking at any available victim.
Not because we want to but because we are damaged.
However, loyalty still remains a choice.
No matter how many times you got hurt, maintain your integrity. Do your part in being good. It really pays off.
If you're good and someone hurts you, they lose a good thing.

Poetry
I write poetry,
Not too sure I can recite it,
I simply write out my soul,
My feelings,my beliefs..
Perhaps even things I'm too shy to mention,
Its my way of expressing it all,
My way of telling someone what he or she needs to hear,
Maybe because I don't have that much courage to say it directly to individuals,
But at the end of it all,
I just wish to inspire before I expire from the existence of my earthly empire.

~~~~~~~~
Before Christ saved me,I was the devils puppet.
He told me he would make me great,
But all I got was deceit and full regret!
In him,there's nothing to celebrate,
He only teaches how to hurt and hate!
My conscience and dignity dropped to a low rate.
Until the day Christ and I met,
He cleansed me of all my iniquities and sins and now its evident from within me that Christ is great..

&T&C&
No matter how much you love someones physical feature(s),don't let that block your view of the persons inner being,don't let that, takeover the reasons for your feelings,
Physical things usually don't last long,
So learn the heart and love it more.

I miss being a child
I miss being a child,
Carefree,
Happiness wasn't even an option, it was just there.
I miss being a child,
There was no judgment. There was never being wrong, everything was possible.

I miss being a child,
Being happy was all that mattered but now, we're tired and worn out from heaven knows what..
Childhood is beautiful, don't dare deprive any one of it.

Have your own opinion,
Don't let people think for you.
Don't follow public opinion if you know deep down your heart that its not the right thing,
Be an individual,
Guard your morals,beliefs and principles and respect them because that's you.

I need to sleep,
Insomnia please leave me alone!
You hang on to me as though you love me,
Yet all you do is harm me..
What do you want from me that you can't find elsewhere?
I'm tired of being your victim!
I need rest,please leave me alone.
Let go of me.
Go away before I use some pills to **** you..

So many people crave love and affection,
Not necessarily romantically,
But true and loyal.
Be that point of joy for someone,
Its hard to even think a smile can actually erase a million worries and fears but its true, love them,
As you give joy,you gain satisfaction and more joy,

No matter what comes your way,
Don't be destructed,
Keep moving forward,
That's the only way to see your rise
The most powerful yet humble man to ever walk the earth,
The only man who walked this earth without sin yet condemned noone,
The only man who died for undeserving people;us.,
From His throne to this world of sin then to the grave just for you and I?wow!how great.!
Indeed!He is worthy of all praises,His greatness should be unveiled in all the earth,
His love is unfailing,none other will ever love me that much,.

On your bed staring at the ceiling,
With a lot to say,
But with no ears to listen,
You wonder where to take all your thoughs and if anyone could be of help,
You feel like crying or even dying because you're so lonely,
But one thing you need to know is that in all your silent cries,
There's someone always listening to you,
Someone wanting to comfort you if you just call upon Him,
His name is JESUS,
He died for you and I just so we could have access to the Heavenly throne,
He loves you no matter what you've said or done,His love for you never changes,
Just talk to Him,there's no special way to do it, just say it,He's always present.

SIN
SIN
Sin is a trap!
It makes me lose sight of good and begin to view it as crap,
No words can express the actual bitterness and guilt in the nature of sin
Not even rhymes in a rap!
It leaves me scarred
Not forgetting that I also feel shattered...
I need a hero,
To take away my sorrow,
I need a saviour,
To transform my behaviour!.
LORD JESUS,mend my brokenness,
Renew my faith and hopes and take away this feeling of hopelessness,
And I know you died for me so I could live my life in your likeness.

No title..
Feeling lonely feels like being stuck in a vacuum,
Searching for what you can't seem to find,
Letting all sorts of thoughts run through your mind,
And usually end up entertaining the worst thought..

As a believer,
Sometimes everything seems to go amiss,
More like you're on your own,
But one thing we need to acknowledge is the fact that,GOD never leaves us,
We go through each day not realising how many weapons of mass destruction we escaped by His grace,
He's always there,
Believe that.

Songs
Some songs speak to the soul,
The instruments,
The voices,
Everything in the song just comes together,
To make us feel renewed,
To give us hope,
Such are great songs.
A song that immediately changes how you feel.
Music is an art that speaks to the soul,
It makes you feel what you never thought you had inside of you.
