Everybody makes mistake,
I really don't know why my own
should be on your top priority list.
And I ask,
does my mistake in anyway
get in the way of your progress
or making a living.
I wonder why you
don't want to concentrate on
building your own life
as to make it better,
like I do with mine.
Why is something that
should be so easy so hard?
I've learned long ago to
stop beating myself up
over past mistakes.
I learn from them
and then get on with my life.
Do the same with yourself,
it will better your soul.

I may have a gentle touch
but I am not at all weak.
All my life,
people have been
messing with me
and I've kept quiet
because I choose to,
they misunderstand
my calmness for weakness
because they really didn't
see my hidden strength.
They prefer  that
I stay In the corner
while they take the center stage
to show off their foolishness,
they forget that it is
better to be a wise fool
than to be foolishly wise.
I know the signs of rainfall,
I also know what it is called,
I am definitely not an idiot
and because I choose to step out
into the rain without an umbrella
does not make me a fool,
I own one and believe me,
I know how to use it,
maybe I love the rain
and choose to get wet;
that means I can
wipe myself dry
and not catch cold.
Let that sink in.

You're an individual.
You're unique.
And it's important that you
create the space to
express your uniqueness,
and become the fully expressed,
fully unleashed,
fully unlimited vibrancy that you are.
There's a stage in a mans life
when he will keep
every other thing aside
and stand alone without fear
to confront whatever obstacle
that stand in his way,
even intimidation from
the most powerful
or care that beset him
and infest his life,
his inadequacies he will confront
and challenge them with boldness.
Even when the
demons of hell be invoked
and conjured up to come forth
and do their very worse,
he knows they shall not pass
and neither shall they prevail,
because he has been through a lot,
he doesn't really cared
anymore what happens to him,
he has come a long way
and he's here now,
that is  all that matters.
He speaks the truth
that only him can speak,
so profound and will so piercingly hurts
the ears of the guilty ones.
he will boldly stand on the edge
of the mountain top
and let the wind of life pass forcefully
through and over him.
he becomes a determined soul
who confronts the odds in his life,
with the help of the almighty,
he attains the consciousness of the cosmic,
his spirit is now so awakened,
he becomes one with universe,
so enlightened,
he is now an adept to
help in the down world,
carrier of the divine light,
protector of the weak,
full of vigor,
always ready,
a doer of the impossible,
he now becomes
the keeper of the flame,
his back bent from the rigours
of suffering and pain,
showing the marks of
the whiplash he received,
his brows so wrinkled with
inner wisdom that comes out of the
time spent in long hours
of fasting and meditations,
calm with the inner beauty of the spirit,
not intimidating or forceful,
he commands authority,
exacts influence and check anything
that's not edifying from
influencing his environment
and atmosphere he created for himself
and then allow others into his world
to experience the realm
of power bestowed on him,
he is indeed now,
a peculiar fellow,
a workman that needs not be afraid,
one set apart for good works,
for he has chosen the path of his destiny.
Yes,there is such a man amongst us.

I can't believe she said that!!!,
That she came into my life with great love,
Love that amazes and beautifies my life,
Life that is awesomely glorious and worth living,
Living a perfectly beautiful life and enjoying it because,
Because it is necessary and vitally important,
Important to be with my friendly lover,
Lover and my most loveliest friend,
Friend we are to each other forever,
Forever I can't believe she said.

no, I'm not talking about the ones with big noses
or greasy hair

not the ones with bad breath
or round bellies

no, I just like them raw
a little broken, a little sad

the ones with scars
a story to tell

I sure know how to pick em' you might say
but I'd never give them up any day

a whole adventure in a person like the outdoors
one with canyons and mountains he would let me explore
only ugly guys give themselves all at once
no parts hidden, everything is exposed

vulnerability is thought to be a weakness but in reality it's bold

I like ugly guys.

Real love is
always constant,
Even when
you don't know,
It's always there,
even when we are hurt
or confused,
It's always there,
even when our hearts refuse
to accept it
or don't feel it
because of some reasons,
It's always there.
Open your heart
and don't be afraid,
Perfect love casts out fear.
