Only
when you feel good

or it
will
hurt more
Looking through the rain
I saw the skies cloudier
Rather than grey
Guess I was wearing sunglasses
Time is alone. Is not is wasted-John Lennon
Paul Butters Mar 2018
Confidence is key
In oh so many ways
Much more than with
The things you do.

Walk tall, stand still,
Be open and direct.
Show them all
That you are completely
Unafraid.

Don’t fidget, look around or gabble on.
Don’t show your anxious self.
Speak slowly, with pause
And show you are assured and calm.

For confidence is like a virus,
Spreading out throughout the room,
Infecting all
With that assertion
That You
Are Number One.

If only I myself was brought up this way,
Who knows what I’d have done?
But better late than never,
As they say.
Let’s start,
By being tall,
And cutting out
That slouch.

But remember,
Never compare:
Treat everyone as equal,
Never be arrogant:
Be gently assertive.

Think...
Till now how the life was,
What we have had in our life
Fake dreams,
false promises,
All in a same word.                                                
           "compromise"
we don't get what we think
But we get a sub,
There we start compromising.
We have a dream
But parents dream compromises us.
We select our way
But the way others tell compromises us
We select our interest
But "we don't get"  compromises us.
Everytime,
We plan something ,
But a new plan compromises us.
If we leave "compromises" to compromise
Us every time,
Then we may lose our originality
Be original
Think induvidually
Speak out...
