Achievement is a journey, not a prize A path we all must travel, if we're wise Every step we take, we develop and learn And the more we strive, the further we'll go It starts with a dream, a spark in the mind A goal that we set, for all to find We work and we labor, day and night With each step, we get closer to the light We stumble and fall, but we rise again For every setback, is a chance to mend We learn from our mistakes, and we grow stronger For every failure, is a step closer And when we reach the top, and our goal is in sight We'll look back and see all the hard work and fight We'll know that we've earned it, with blood, sweat and tears And in that moment, we'll conquer our fears So let's strive for greatness, and reach for the stars For every achievement, is a victory in its own right. Angie.

Why you need to break the barriers and achieve greatness
I wanna let my pen bleed words to the world, I wanna tell the broken to open with a reason for the season, I wanna write light to your night, I started the journey anyway.... I was blind about it, I turned all way all round, I was never told what I required, I packed my bags and took the way, I started the journey anyway.. Whirlwinds blew me, My skinny body almost left me, Unfamiliar and terrible paths I walked, I cried when it got tough, I took the journey anyway... Here I stop to look back, Here a beautiful way is created, Here I write for you know, Here I am is not where I was, I am in the journey anyway.... The journey to success is faith, hope and action Some stages are fearful, but you have to pass them, I write to you for you are strong, Strong to take your journey too, Strong to hope that it's a good destiny, Strong to start, And so I write to you Take the journey anyway @Angie

The Journey
So I was told to shut up, that I shouldn't talk... That when things go south, I should just watch... That when am hurting, I should maybe smile.. That I should act blind when my eyes are wide open.. That my mouth should be closed when I am choking.... That I should agree always because no doesn't exist.. That I should always walk tall and never look down... But Maybe.... I am short and need to tie my shoe lace, Maybe I should say no, because it is a full statement.. Maybe I should see because my eyes are open.. Maybe I should open my mouth to grasp some breathe.. Maybe I should speak and call it black and white... Or maybe I should write ✍️✍️ Or maybe I should just be anyway.. ©Angie

MAYBE
It is in writing where I go bare, It is here I let you beware, Scratch my head and pull the hairs, Maybe this will make you care... I put everything down clear, And take everything up in prayer, Maybe the atmosphere will allow the air, And maybe I will not despair.... I hope it will not be a scare, I hope you will not think I don't care, I hope you realize it's not a nightmare, I hope I will do this even with white hair.... It is in writing where I go anywhere, It is in writing where I go everywhere, I write to prepare, I write to repair, I write for you and me to pair... I will write until there.. And If don't it's unfair.. I swear. ©Angie

LET ME WRITE
Accepting your real story can be hard but when you keep running away from it that's more difficult. Owning your vulnerability is threatening, but giving up on what makes you vulnerable is more risky. You can only realize your powerful light when you are confident to face your darkness.

Embrace your story
Before you tell us to smile, look beyond to see the scars that brings a sad face Before you tell us to fight, see the fresh wounds that reminds us of the same battle field Before you tell us to understand, test the war in the mind trying to understand ourselves With every judgment, there are things you wouldn’t understand Our backs ache for carrying heavy pasts, we are just trying to stand upright If you know how much effort we have put in, you wouldn’t dare put us down We have fallen many times, but we never remain down With every judgment, there are things you wouldn’t understand Don’t make us feel out of place Don’t make us hurt more Don’t make us feel scared in the society we rightfully belong Don’t make us fade within There are things you wouldn’t understand

Beyond the Judgment
There are mornings of just being vulnerable, There are afternoons of an imperfect you, There are evenings of so much worry and fear of everything. But there is waking up to embracing the solid truth. YOU ARE BRAVE and WORTH OF LOVE. You have to wake up to this.

Wake up
The celebration of your birth just the other day, You were young and enjoyed to play, See how you have grown and the far you have come, Is there a reason for you to keep dumb? Your lives have become one. The definition of this journey is the Father above, Being the author of the expedition of love, Your hearts have been trusted to build a home, And, there is no room for you to roam, Your lives have become one. As you have chosen to vow to each other, You are tied to be there for one another, And, you can’t allow anything to be a canker It is only Jesus that can be your anchor, Your lives have become one It’s the small things that make the big things, Perhaps holding hands is not for the kings, Saying “I love you” is to remember for all mornings, And, evenings are not meant for ravings, Your lives have become one Doing anything will not be in the attitude of duty, It is always in the spirit of joy and beauty, Remembering that no one of you is holy, But, Words of appreciation in your tongues be like candy, Your lives have become one. You decide to curve inside the song of forgive and forget, Creating a nest for each other to jet, A union of equal independence and mutual dependence, Working your obligations in correspondence and patience, Your lives have become one

TWO LIVES FOR A LIFETIME
When I utter commit, I mean to dedicate First to Him, that gave my full birthright And two to myself, the reason to create, My commitment is my responsibility I choose to commit, perhaps you may not admit I want to melt my fears, thyself to acquit Realize my valour, to knit again my grit My commitment is my responsibility I commit to trust my inner instinct, Lest I stumble and be called extinct I will teach me to always be prinked My commitment is my responsibility I commit my business to what is real Perhaps people will get dull Maybe I will find my answers in the baffle And get busy making my now life blissful For my commitment is my responsibility

Commit Yourself
When the clock is ticking, The society can’t stop buzzing, In the silence within All these voices are breaking my head The pressure is flowing The longest time ever is waiting When will I wake up from this dream? Counting the steps to the finish line Looking tired but hopeful to win Walking myself to the goal Deep inside the broken pieces are lost The reflection of own face in the mirror is betraying Anything sweet I knew have grown wings Loneliness and anger has found a home inside When I finally wake up I would not wish to dream again The dream gives but sweet memories The reality no one knows One day I will heal and smile again.
