Though stars are grouped into constellations
She did not feel the need to belong
Because alone in surrounding darkness
She shone the greatest on her own
find peace in being on your own.
Betty Jul 2020
A bright idea illuminates your mind
"I'll do it when I get the time"
Is what you say when you defend
Your busy schedule of tasks you resent

Your tasty theoretical lemonade
Made from the lemons that came your way
Would quench your thirst for success
If you would only take a rest

Is it healthy for you to be stuck
In the 9 to 5 generational curse?
Working hard to make a living
When that living can be unforgiving

Nothing's too hard or impossible
Baby steps, no need to stress
When to you the path is visible
You just need to do your best

The fear you harbor in your heart
Is not because of your limit
But it's because of someone else's goals -
You're afraid that you won't reach it.

Your template is your latest high score
No them, just you versus you on the floor
If you fall you'll get up, that's the spirit
All you need now is to just  DO IT!

Refuse to make the same excuses
For not making the relevant changes
Because your kids won't inherit jobs
But they copy your mindset when you beat the odds
Just Do It (Poem inspired by young entrepreneurs)

How old was I when I first looked into the mirror and wasn't enough

How old will I be when my reflection replies I'm too much
I wrote these words down in a notebook and found them today

I had it figured out
Before it shattered away into pieces
Then I went on a journey
To get it all back, like in the movies

I got more confused than before
Worked a lot & got high everyday
I've seen the depths of darkness
Even though I descended into madness
Confidence is a fickle thing sometimes

Beauty is not,
the way your hair looks
Or the way you smile
It's not the color of your eyes
Or how pretty you are
Beauty is your personality
It's how you treat others
It's about what's on the inside
Beauty is,
YOU

Dear careless whisperer,
Some sharings are dagger-edged
and there is no escape when they’re turned on you
no countermagic for the soul crushing embarrassment
dropped as if from a great height.
Did you hear the gun-shot thunderclap of confidence
leaving the room?
I am a careless whisperer
Glenn Currier Jun 2020
How small I am in my eyes.
May I see me as tall as you do.
My underestimation
keeps me from the gestation
of the universe within me
aching to explode.
