Your race,
Your pace!
This is the best way to sum up your life, at any given point. You're not competing with anyone, you're not doing what everyone else is doing...
You are running your own race and only you can determine how long it should take for you to reach the finish line...if there is even one.
There's no better time to reflect on your life,
Than at the exact time you were born.
Being brought into the world is a gift no-one can ever take from you,
Because each year serves as a reminder of why you have reason to celebrate the gift of life ❤

Do not follow in the footsteps of the great poets.
Seek what they sought.

Dear writer/reader,

I need you to take yourself through this brief poetry lesson...

Poetry is how we give meaning to our feelings and thoughts,
It is not merely stringing words together,
But putting something out there,
That someone else can relate to
Or merely draw inspiration from.
It is a recipe for criticism,
But within reason.

So, go on and let these words be the mouthpiece for your head and heart.

Sincerely yours,
(noma)Freedom
This was inspired by someone on this site who mentioned how something I had written was MEANINGLESS.
A mind that fails to develop its own interpretation of someone's words is one that is oblivious to understanding, so let's not put others down simply because we don't entirely agree with what they choose to put out on their personal pages :)
NO human creature can give orders to love
A thought by George Sand, a French author.
when do the tears
stop running down our faces,
and finally heal our ailing hearts?
