In an instant, your life can change,
Individuals are not to blame,
Some women attract men so pitiful,
They can treat chicks so vomitable.
Strength of the human mind,
To overcome difficult times,
Need to focus on positive energy,
Not dwell on past negativity,
To overcome life's diversities,
So, looking forward, not looking back,
The road of life is one long track,
Maybe women are not to blame,
In an instant your life can change.
Inspired by personal experience, one headline in the newspaper. Feedback welcome.

Ever wondered why
some people are happier than others?
Are they doing things differently
or are things different for them?

Is it hard-work or sheer luck,
what makes the difference,
have you ever thought?

Some die struggling,
for all that's fair and theirs.
And yet luck favors
them who hardly care.

That's the difference,
despite all that's said and done,
as one dies in the warmth of love,
other dies stone cold.

You think you are all alone,
And all your hopes are gone,
So you can't move along !

Things were bad,
You were in despair,
But you came up for air !

You said many prayers,
You found yourself,
And got light in your face.

Now don’t need no rescuing,
You seem okay ?
You have got life in your veins.

No S.O.S. needed, no rescuing,
You are fine out there...!

You look into the sky,
And all your tears are dry,
You kiss your fears goodbye.

You are gonna be alright,
It was beyond repair.
You were scare.

You couldn’t handle it,
But now you are glad,
Stronger than the raging sea.
Life is like the ocean. It can be calm or still, and rough or rigid, but in the end, it is always beautiful.
Passion is a burning flame
where adversity is but gasoline
my passion will burn, and wont soon expire
your oppression will only make my flame, a fire
and ill feed my passion with love and glory
and you'll be left alone, no one else to tell your story
there's no stopping my passion or my poems, and if you try, i'm only going to write more

Cheering myself up

To smile in the face of adversity is to overcome.
Criticism is welcomed.

When life gets too hard
just remember flowers need a little rain to grow
a break from all the "serious" poetry I've been doing for the last couple of days :D

Fed up with your lot?
Focus on what you have got;
Not what you have not

Through trouble and strife
Find the good things in your life;
Concentrate on those.

How strong we can be
Only in adversity  
Can we truly see
Three shorts combined
Forgive yourself, even when they won't
For they dont always understand
When words are tossed about like stones
And you don't know if you can
When lies are spread like a wild fire
When your friends are blinded by fear
Even when you’re indescribably tired
And you can even manage a tear
Forgive yourself, Even when they don't
Your old life will be back soon
Nothing is unforgivable
Oh! And be humble and righteous too!
this is my favorite of all the poetry i've written because it applies so often, and leads to a better life

"The only questions that really matter
are the ones you ask yourself."
- Ursula K. Le Guin

For some of us
the universe
provides
a long list
of questions
and a short list
of answers.

Our work,
the real work,
the only work
that matters,
is filling
in those blanks.

A hard blessing,
but a blessing,
still.
