Whatever you are going
through is too small and
insignificant compared to
what is happening to someone
else somewhere in the world.
Always know that you are
fortunate and privileged to
have what you have right now.
You are guilty of a crime when
you use what you have to
suppress others of less privilege.
From the annoyances towards you,
learn to be patient and calm.
When abandoned,
learn how to stand up on
your own feet.
When offended by the words
of others,
learn forgiveness and compassion.
When overwhelmed and powerless,
learn to get greater power.
When attacked by hatred,
learn to love unconditionally.
When fear visit you,
learn courage to overcome your fears.
At the things you can't control,
learn to let go and walk away.
Anytime you get a no,
learn to be independent.
When overwhelmed by problems,
learn to get solutions to it.
When opposition attacks you,
learn a form of self defense.
Whenever you are belittled
and look down on,
learn to look up to God.
Each time you feel lifeless
and empty,
learn to hold on to God.
In all circumstances and situations
and every phase of life,
learn the hidden lessons in it.
In whatever way you feel cheated
or life seems unfair to you,
learn how to deal with it.
You are an over comer.

You are full of it
when what you plan
to do did not include
other people's interest.
Are you playing with
yourself all alone,
when all you needed
was just lovely friends
who will gladden your
world with their lives.
These loving friends are
actually the flowers in
the garden of our lives,
they decorate our lives
with beauty and adorn it
with fragrance of their
loving smiles,
bringing to us that free gifts
of love and friendship.
Their presence is more than
a balm of Gilead.
A true friend is like a rose
and a beautiful flower in
the vase of our lives worthy
to be nurtured and watered daily.
We need each others touch to
survive and thrive.
Love is about inclusion,
doing and acting out our lives,
and letting others into our world.
Even though some might be a
pain in the ***,
still you can't do without them,
they make up the textures
of our lives.
We need all of them both the
positive and the negative,
they help bring us to a better place.
Unwittingly helping in an
uncanny way to learn about
love and forgiveness,
accommodating and acceptance,
patience and endurance,
Wellness and healing.
They bring pleasure and delight into our world.
How I wish we could be good loving friends.

When you decided to
use assassins to harm me,
you caused disharmony
between us.
That was unprovoked
misdirected anger unleashed
with venomous impunity
to destroy me without a cause.
Your unfaithfulness,
greediness and irrational ways
of doing things manifest itself
and almost cause me my life.
You are a hardened and cold
methodical machine without
a heart.
Your actions was a tragic
unfortunate circumstance.
That situation can no longer
be helped, remedied or restored.
The budding of this beautiful plant
was forcefully and aggressively
plucked off and the flower died.
It is a cut so deep it bleeds inside.
The source of life supply was
choked to death by your aggression.
The impact of that deadly blow
almost cut my heart into pieces.
My heart may never recover fully
from that delirious trauma,
the scar will always be there,
for a part of my heart was
destroyed.
I really don't know how to
cause my heart to respond
and resolve this issue without
being misunderstood.
But now the subject is dead to me
for it no longer exists.

The heart shivers and
cries within for the
unnecessary hold of
the one loved before.
The heart unresolved
by reason of the past.
Feelings from way back long
before surge into the heart.
The soul still has not fully
recovered from the hurts of
the one loved long before.
Still reminiscing about
what happened to us.
Can I ever even be alright.
I still wear the garment
of the past,
it's still tight on my skin,
seems as if i won't let go
from the grip that easily.
I gave a piece of my heart away.
That is the price I must pay
for loving too much.
But to let go I must,
if I must get on with my life
with dignity and respect.
Happiness awaits me,
for the heart must have another.
I know I must forgive to set myself
and another free from this self prison.
But forgiveness does not mean
that I want you back.
What does it even mean
if I must ask,
it simply means I have to
let you go for my own peace of mind.
I must go away because,
another phase of life begins,
for another one who loves me is waiting.

Do you have any idea
how much it hurts me
to see you like that.
Stop struggling with your life
and do away with anything
that no longer serves you or
makes you miserable.
I love you so very much
and it breaks my heart
to see what you are doing
to yourself.
I know the unbearable distress
you are going through.
I see the pain behind your eyes,
I can hear your heart crying,
the anguish of your heart
finds echo in my own.
I feel your sense of loss,
I know how you feel right now
as if everyone has abandoned you.
I know the emptiness,
the hopelessness and
the helplessness that overwhelmes you.
I see the love you are seeking,
I know the unbearable ways you
struggle to stop but you can't
on your own.
I know the strength behind
those body and I'm confident
and convinced that you
will survive this too with help.
I want you to know that you
are not alone.
Narcotics have ruined lots
of people that they can't
help themselves.
Your mind can be a powerful thing
and an amazing tool to help you fight
your war and win the battle of self.
You can get rid of that stuff
if you really want to.
Please don't give up on your self.
You are a love child of a loving God,
he understands your pain
and will bring his power to bear
on your situation.
Absolutely nothing is ever impossible
for him if you can only trust him.
I will be here for you if you ever need me
or anything I have to offer.

That's just the way it is.
The way of the heart
is really baffling.
It keeps changing, turning,
swivelling, grappling,
peeping, checking,
reviewing,calculating,
evading, listening to what
you are not saying,
scheming and can't
keep quiet for a second.
Beautiful things happens
in the heart of a beautiful
soul that makes life brighter,
better and more beautiful.
Some committed crimes
of passion and become
prisoners of love,
how can we get to the
other side of the soul
where the heart cries
out to be loved.
Isolation and loneliness
invades the heart of the one
who never care to risk relating.
We are the extension of each other.
We can't get enough of ourselves,
we are smart, sharp and
intelligent and beautiful inside.
Love is the best for the moment.
A soul that never loved is lost
and it is definitely the one that
lives in hell.

I definitely don't understand
how to get a hold onto this
complex and dynamic
complicated and sensitive
thing that mesmerizes me.
I'm so breathless and short
of words to delve into the
heart of the one whose heart
is disturbed by the troubles of
the knots he can't untie.
How would you explore this
uncharted course of the heart.
You must be a psychic and
a clairvoyant to delve into
the habitat of the divine.
The heart is deeper than the deep,
like a deep still pond with no clue
of what lies within and nothing in
sight to give it away,
but just silence and a sense of awe.
You must have depth to
deeply go deeper than the
submarine to know
the thoughts of the heart.
This heart of mine
is a thunderbolt and
I'm so powerfully pulled inwardly
on my quest to make it right.
Knowing that I am nothing
but just a dreamer meddling
with something so profoundly different.
