Choice

CJwords Mar 2018

Choice

I saw the future …

I saw the future, and it was joy.
I saw the future, and it was life.
A prince in his father’s kingdom, was I.
I have all, I need not, I want not.

I saw the future, and it was grim.
I saw the future, and it was death.
An orphan without a home, was I.
I am poor, I am shunned, I am alone.

I saw the future

I am light, but I am blind.
I am water, yet I burn.
I am life, but I am death.
I am heaven, yet I burn.

I saw the future.

I made a choice.

The future is built on choices. Choose wisely.

Wings of Time

CJwords Mar 2018

Wings of Time

I ride on the wings of time.
As long as time is,
I am eternal.

I am a force above nature.
All of creation is subject to me.

To some I am life.
To others I am death,
To some I am joy.
To others I am pain.

I ride on the wings of time.
As long as time is,
I am eternal.

I am omnipresent.
I was, before you were.
Still will be, after you.

I lament my existence.
But I am what I am.
I celebrate all life.
But I cannot partake.

I am there for the joys.
I am there for the pains.
I am loved for the joys.
I am blamed for the pains.

Hate me, love me,
Friend or foe,
I will always ride on the wings of time.

That is who I am!

I am Change.

Recognizing the things you cannot change can allow you to focus on the things that you can.
Thank you for reading!

Circumstance

CJwords Mar 2018

Circumstance

Circumstance,
Stands between me and greatness.
Stands between me and courage.
Stands between me and power.

True power is the ability to choose.
True courage is the ability to hope
True courage is the ability to love
True power is the ability to live

Circumstance is fleeting
For soon I shall die
Tomorrow is not mine
Tomorrow is his (or hers)

The other me, who is not me
Yes, it’s me, but it’s not me
I died in my sleep
He was born when I awoke

He is an all-powerful being
His innate ability is choice
I choose, I do, I am

I am not my circumstance.

Sometimes we let our circumstance imprison us. Makes us feel powerless; We are not!

… says …

I am the enemy of talent.
I am the enemy of wisdom.

I will not only attack your confidence.
I will destroy your today, your future and your past.

I am the arch-nemesis of progress.
I am the side-kick of stagnation.

I am the master of depression.
Suicide obeys my every command.

**** me now,
**** me fast,
Or you are next!

My name is self-doubt.
You have been warned!

Just my thoughts on self-doubt.
