The land of raw beauty,
Not entirely peaceful,
But I still have hope that one day unity will be treated as a duty,
For this land,I'll forever remain indebted to say "I'm grateful",
So many names are thrown upon this place,
But only the blind believe what they've heard about a thing even without seeing its face,
Dark continent???
Well black is beautiful,
It portrays strength,power,hardwork, toughness,
Though others bleach out of their complexions,they don't understand they contain pricelessness.
If only all could see what I see,
If all great dreams could come to be,
If only we all could just believe in what we had,
Including love,
Greatness would be attained,
Been robbed and taken advantage of,
In the name of innocence,
The innocence I call foolishness and illeteracy,
That's old stuff,shouldn't be the case.
My mind can't stumble upon even just one idea to change history,
But its got plenty to change the future.
If life is hope,I believe hope is life.

The wind is blowing tirelessly,
Delicate flowers are falling,
Branches are all shaking vigorously,
And I learn something from them,
No matter how hard the wind may blow,
They only move,
They don't change their shapes and colours,
The flowers may fall but at some point they allow the same wind to blow them into the sky and make them fly.
So I learn that situations shouldn't change who we are,
We only need to adjust our attitudes,
Struggles are there to make you a victor,
Like the flower being made to fly by what brought it down,
You let your struggles elevate you.

We
Can do
Anything;
Just not everything.

Pain is there to make you stronger,
Don't let it go to waste by not getting better through it,
Don't let it deteriorate you!
Let it be there to decorate you afterwards,
Learn from it,
Don't call it a problem,call it a challenge.
Make sure you win at it,.
Be optimistic!
Pessimism won't take you far,
Embrace your challenge as a way to grow and become better..

TRUST
                Hard to build,
         Easy to break.
    well I bring a new proposal,
How about we start trusting people like people?
Like not expecting perfection,
   Like trusting but giving space,
The way we trust is a burden.
   We give people superior expectations,
               Trust in such a way that you realise you're trusting a human being . And that human being may fall short of your expectations,trust is real in love,in love trust is knowing that someone may not be perfect but still trust them because you love them and they're worth it.

Theres power in pain,
Great power in a pen,
And greater power when the pen is used to pen pain.

Just thought I'd write you a poem about you,
You must know I love you,
I appreciate you,
Even though sometimes I find myself lacking time for you,
I must say you deserve a poem for you,
I'm sorry for those times;
When I run out of rhymes,
And drop my pen,
Because I feel like I'm too un inspired and my writing will be in vain,
You're my sweet escape,
From your grip,there's no escape,
Only you my dear,knows how I process my thoughts to pages,
Against your contagiousness,well I hold no grudges.
In a nutshell,I love you.

Beautiful on touch, sight and scent, yet can pierce your skin and bleed you out.
That is love, the beauty of it is worth the pain,
Just like a bittersweet chocolate, sweet, yet bitter, but you just can't stop.

Being well principled,
Is called "old skool",
And its not easy to hold on tight
To good principles,but even when you manage you're called a fool,
Its like the tv,social media have really become the devils tool,
Natural beauty is called ugly,
Its said only make up can fix you greatly,
That's the ******* we're beginning to consume,
I think we need to pause,rewind to the time of good principles,then resume.
An ideal body image is set,
And if you don't measure up to that,your looks aren't great,
The question is who's anyone,
To set up such standards for everyone?
Accept and love who you are,
Make your own rules,
Don't let anyone define who you are.

The most beautiful woman I know,
Inside and out.
Heart so soft,and mind so strong.
Just as God intended,
Her love leaves me in awe,
Forgiving and loving truly,
There's no better woman I know.
Father is blessed to have her,
He's a great man too.
No wonder he was blessed with her,
Indeed you attract who you are.

Define who you are,
You're free to do so,
There's no dictionary for that,
Its your life,
If you know who you are and why you chose to be who you chose to be,
No words can make you doubt  you,
Anyone can give you any label,
But its all upto you to take it or leave it,
Be positively clear about yourself,
Life isn't easy,
And to get some goodness out of it,you have to create the possibility of having that goodness
By being receptive to good things,trash the bad stuff
Not to live in denial but to know that good times also have to be there.

Hope to dream good dreams

And wake up with a vision for the

Approaching day,,

Dreamers know the depth of their dreams,
They know that to dream is to live inside the mind.
Their passions are like loud screams..
Unavoidable, but the worthy kind.
Dreamers recognise the art of hardwork,
Dreams without work are mere fantasies.
Achievement comes by work.
Work your dreams out!
No one else will.

Life
              is
     a
                  series

         of
                             choices
Chances,

             and

                      results  ,.

Hoping for an unseen future,
Is easier than dwelling on an already gone past,
Fear,discouragement,failure;
Are a must..
Each like a pathway,
Either you use them,
Or they wear you out,
One day,
You'll have your breakthrough,
Stay focused.

In my head it would be;
Oxytocin + vasopressin --» love
But since that's not it,
Or maybe it doesn't even have one.
Meaning its form must be deeper,
Deeper than chemicals or hormones.
Deeper,deep,deeper.

Comparing yourself to others,
Seriously robs you of joy,
Accept your life as it is,
Love what you own,
There's no satisfaction in comparison,
You'll always think you're not good enough,
Compete with yourself,
Compare yourself with who you were yesterday,
Live in your life,
Be happy,be content and make improvements day by day.

Try building a home in your heart,
Yes we understand that hurt could bring about great art,
But its great to draw inspiration from good things,
Look around you and take some time to love your fellow beings,
Locking up your heart is no escape from pain,
So relax and stop living life in disdain.

Built to protect,
Not to deter anyone..
But to defend self from brokenness..
But for how long can those walls last without breaking down..
Not searching for a hero.. Just a fighter.

There's no destination in life,
No one ever arrives.
Being human,ambitions change,
When we achieve,
We want more;something better..
The only day we arrive is when we die,
For then,we don't need to dream,or work or achieve,
So actually there's no arrival for the living,
Destiny is no arrival,
Destiny is the place you need to be in at some point,
And within destiny,there's no arrival still because new dreams are born.

Do not
Force people
To see in you,
What they can not see
Effortlessly..
Because at the end of it all,we choose to see what we want to see in everyone.

Without God life is hopeless,
For what is there to really live for?
If not created by God then what's your lifes goal?
Breathing yes but purposeless,
For what can be created without use?nothing, yes!.
Or what can exist without being created and actually have use?
Nothing of use.
All of life is like a book,
You are a character,
But with free will,written by the greatest author.
You're not trapped like a fish on a hook,
You choose your way,
But the storys already written,
No matter how you go astray,
His will can never be beaten.

If flowers that dropped from trees could remain fresh and the exact color they dropped as,we wouldn't call them dirt.
We would call them "beautiful things that form a beautiful natural colorful carpet" and even wait for the season that they would fall again and again without ever ceasing to do so.
They're still beautiful
^_^

Lover
Of
My
Soul* ,
Healer
Of
My
Broken  heart .

When I think of life,
I don't think of my life span,
Or me on this long road on a lonely journey
I imagine life as this whole world,the people,the species
The whole space the earth occupies and beyond,
So big and so wide,the choices and options are endless,
Just like everyone else,I'm no alien here
And I have my own space.
So then I think to myself,who am I not to dream big,
I mean;look at the greatness and opportunities in this place called a planet,
Aren't they all there for everyone to dive at and pursue?
So pardon me if my expectations seem "unrealistically high",
Wouldn't want to change them anyway.
If they hurt me;it'll all turn out as artistic inspiration,
If they work out well,,.well it'll still be inspiration.

Life is a two way thing,

You dont always give when you receive and you dont immediately receive when you give.

Well not that kind of two way thing.

Two way in such a way that everything has two sides to it.

There are always two paths and the results you earn trace back to the chosen path.

Either right or wrong,

You choose a good path that leads to a destiny and the bad path also leads to a destiny.

Some lives are purposed to teach others life lesssons and some lives are purposed to learn and teach others how to learn from mistakes.

Always choose the right path,it pays well.

Skies are so bright,
The stars plus the fireworks light,
Looking at the sky feels so right,
Its a beautiful night,
Joyful noise everywhere,
Excitement in full flair,
Hope for a better future is spread through the cold fresh air.
Its simply amazing.

Want to hear a silent voice?
Shut your ears
And
Open your heart,

Beauty standards!! I wonder who comes up with those,.. society?? But we are the society.. why do we come up with things against ourselves?
Making women and men feel bad about themselves just to advertise products.
Telling them,they are not good enough and will continue to be not good enough until they use that which is being sold.
Its sad really.. our insecurities are their adverts,. Whats sad is they give the solution but it leaves our minds the same,immediately after "fixing" the "defect" we look for another one..
The best solution is to know that true beauty is skindeep and judging people by outward appearance is not fair.

For the love of her family,
She sacrificed her pride and womanhood,
She gave herself up to men just to have money to support her family,
So many judged her without really understanding her driving force,
It was her love for her people that made her be who she turned out to be,
She used her priceless beauty to put bread and butter on her table,
She's now gone,
She left her family financially stable yet emotionally wrecked!
Tears flow out of my eyes when I think of her.
What a woman can do..

The only person you can't live without is your self.
