Waiting for your life to begin Waiting for your team to win Waiting for the bus to arrive Waiting for your kid to strive Waiting for the rain to pass Waiting for the bell after class Waiting for the job of your dream Waiting for things to become what they seem Waiting for inspiration to come Waiting to become rich and then some Waiting for a person to change Waiting for motion to become a range Waiting for a bad mood to disappear Waiting for your head to clear Waiting for your boss to see your worth Waiting for heaven on earth Waiting for what is your due Waiting for a cue Waiting for someone to understand Waiting for your enemies to be banned Waiting for the world to get better Waiting for that liberating letter Waiting for something that will never come Waiting for things to become undone Waiting for wisdom to teach you that waiting is just loosing time to get through

Inside things I don't want to see things I dont' want to show Inside a mirror showing the real me a mirror not making me glow Inside the enemy speaks to me the enemy hinders me to grow Inside a battle between the enemy and me a battle I'm not always willing to owe Inside the worst and the best of me the worst I would like to stow Inside the real me should be set free the real me should be able to flow Inside it seems logical to always be me it seems not always easy though

The enemy inside

Inside things I don't want to see things I dont' want to show Inside a mirror showing the real me a mirror not making me glow Inside the enemy speaks to me the enemy hinders me to grow Inside a battle between the enemy and me a battle I'm not always willing to owe Inside the worst and the best of me the worst I would like to stow Inside the real me should be set free the real me should be able to flow Inside it seems logical to always be me it seems not always easy though

Sail the seas of life get lost be found Fight everyday battles win some loose many Discover life's mysteries receive criticism be rewarded See the beauty of it all a funny cloud a falling leaf Look for guidance find my way do it right Realise that someone's help can be asked for feels good Notice that someone's advice can be wrong can be right Come to the conclusion that the only guide is me learning lessons my way

She says: the rain is beautiful He thinks: I hate getting wet She says: let's go for hot chocolate He thinks: I just want to go home She says: we should go hiking tomorrow He thinks: I loathe crawling through the woods She says: I love you He thinks: she is beautiful *** He says: yes it has its charm She thinks: he is romantic He says: that will warm us up She thinks: he does everything I want He says: anything you'd like my dear She thinks: I'm so lucky we like the same things He says: I love you too She thinks: he is ugly

I hold my breath at our boys at play not noticing that I am watching I hold my breath looking into your eyes washed over by all this love I hold my breath following a bird's flight rising high above becoming a dot I hold my breath smelling freshly cut grass remembering childhood dreams I hold my breath at the blowing wind playing with leaves on our trees I hold my breath to achieve a stillness to center myself on importance I hold my breath just to calm down my running through life I hold my breath almost every day just to savour my happiness

When you plant a seed you do not know where it might lead. Will it become a pretty bead? Or will it grow into wild **** When you plant a seed you do not know what it might need. Will it know how to proceed? Or will it grow up to exceed? When you plant a seed you will have to concede that it will get its own feed that it will grow at its own speed

The one who grieves the fallen leaves weary eyed, closing eaves they are taken by thieves The one who believes the fallen leaves are a past he never retrieves interfering with the life he weaves The one who perceives the fallen leaves as parts of him plucked off his sleeves an unfolding he peeves The one who achieves to see fallen leaves as past gifts one receives for the growth that relieves

Morning run sweating, alert body looking at an empty day ahead Shower Water trickling, cleansing quietness taking over Happily floating mind wandering watching the rain outside Feeling happiness taking over floating through my body Reading, writing empty mind feeling at ease, floating

It takes courage to be yourself to be different in the face of Intolerance and despite Prejudice It takes courage to drop your defenses to take off your mask held back by Fright or led by Compliance It takes courage to open up to let someone in afraid to get Hurt or retained by Pride Be brave a little every day Have the courage to Be you!
