Thoughts are fleeting,
You can change
them in an instant.
Thoughts are discretionary,
You can choose
If your glass is full or empty.
Be brave and
Take responsibility for
Your beliefs,
Your thoughts,
Your feelings,
Your success,
Your life.
Change them
If they’re not how you want them to be,
If you’re not happy,
Discontented,
If life isn’t working,
For choice is the key
To a successful life well lived

Torn,
Bloodied,
Raw,
Exposed,
Vulnerable,
Open,
Heartfelt
Poetry,­
And emotions,
Derived from a life
Lived at the sharp end

We all make mistakes
We are human,
We err,
Through wilfulness,
Through ignorance,
Through our own deliberate fault.
God forgives you.
Now all you need to do is to
Forgive yourself

A devilish master of mind games,
Infiltrating your subconscious,
Playing tricks on you,
Taking things out of context,
Mishearing,
Instilling fear,
Filtering statements and actions to fit
Restrictive outdated beliefs
Seductively whispered in your ear
By that goading insidious wretch.
Don’t give him the time of day,
Say “no,
I’m not listening,
Leave me be,
You have hold of me no more”.
