I’m a little stubborn...
but I don’t always have to get my way.

I’m a little naïve...
but I’ll only fall for something once.

I’m a little tough on the outside...
but I’ll still cry when I’m hurt.

I’m a little chubby...
but I’m talented in so many ways.

I’m a little short...
but I have a big, caring heart.

I’m a little impatient...
but I won’t rush you into making bad choices.

I’m a little quirky...
but I’ll always have my friends’ back.

I’m a little sad...
but I’ll do my best to pick you up when you are.

I’m a little odd...
but I’m funny and fun to be around.

I’m a little confused in some subjects...
but a true **** in others.

I’m a little lonely...
but I’m ok spending some time alone.

I’m a little awkward trying new things...
but show me how to do it and I’ll learn.

I’m a little hurt by negative words...
but isn’t everyone.

I’m a little shy...
but get to know me and I’ll blossom before your eyes.

I’m a little suspicious...
but I’ll still give you the benefit of the doubt.

I’m a little weak...
but I’m not afraid to try and fail.

I’m a little judgmental...
but I’ll change my opinion when I’m wrong.

You see, I’m not perfect in every way...
but I don’t have to be.

I’m just perfect for me.
When a POET DIES,
There WORDS LIVE ON,
They KEEP US ENCOURAGED,
MOTIVATED and STRONG
There WORDS DO INSPIRE,
To LIFTING us HIGHER,
When your DOWN AND OUT,
THEY MAKE YOUR DAY BRIGHTER,
A PEP IN YOUR STEP,
you FEEL MUCH MORE LIGHTER,
When a POET DIES,
There WORDS they will STAY,
THEY'LL CONTINUE to INSPIRE US
to this VERY DAY!!!!

In academic halls where knowledge gleams,
Dr. Jyotika, a star whose brilliance streams.
On day three's dawn, a serendipitous art,
EDM-106, where passions start.

A kindred spirit, warm and bright,
Dispelling shadows, guiding light.
With energy boundless, she does impart,
Igniting souls, with skillful art.

Her steps, a cadence, rhythmic and fleet,
A mentor's grace, supremely sweet.

Behind the lens, an entrepreneurial gleam,
A visionary, chasing a distant dream.
With every stride, a purpose clear,
Dispelling doubts, calming fear.

A mother's wisdom, sister's care,
Her guidance, a solace, beyond compare.
Though paths diverge, her influence stays,
A guiding star through my life's maze.

A commerce soul, drawn to her light,
A scientist's world, a pure delight.
Though semesters waned, her spirit grew,
A mentor's mould, a vision true.

To emulate her, a fervent desire,
A professor's role, a lofty spire.
Her office door, a welcoming sight,
A haven of wisdom, pure and bright …

I hv composed this poem for my esteemed college professor as a heartfelt expression of my profound respect and admiration for her.

In the shadows, a tale unfolds
Of inspiration, versus theft, so cold
A spark of ideas, like blood in the night
Can be drained away, without a fight

Inspiration whispers, "Take a bite"
Of my creativity, let it ignite
But theft creeps in, with a vampire's might
And steals away, the light of delight

Let us embrace, the inspiration's glow
And shun the theft, that would our souls know
For in the darkness, only one is true
Inspiration's kiss, versus theft's cold brew.
Inspired or stolen (I’ll let you decide) from Temporal Fugues Poem Artistic Vampir, https://hellopoetry.com/poem/4834378/artistic-vampire/
Vampires can be a great metaphor for creative ideas - they can inspire and energize, but also drain and exploit.

if i could visit my younger self
i would go back to the day
when the laugh of lions
didn’t scare me away
into a world

i was trying to leave astray

a world that once;

smoked me up whole
making swimming pools
out of my tears
that’d be dusted
off of my cheek
into ashtrays

just for the narcissist’s
around me
to feel at peace
drinking from the sea
of pain they ripped me apart in
because they only knew
what they had bled into me

Inspires!!
Our love fills the imagery..
Of life secrets its colony.
A restful place of destiny.. happiness that is complete.
His excitement splashes from his soul like glitter ever so unsteady.
I apply sounds of stability, that steady the floors of common grounds.
Steps at finding partners' toes. hellos like liquid Golds.
Rich in this. Throne of humble homes.
Laughter going and going strong.
Mentally appealing...
His smiles,
His joys,
He
Be
Wrestling
with fires.
That
Inspires.
Me.

It's okay. To be unfinished or unpolished.

We seek variety, but exclude vulnerability, when it's all part of culture and living.  We are members of  a transforming world  where similarities and opposites come together in unison.  

There's always opportunities...

Remember this
Don't let the issues or worries
Ruin another bound to be successful day.

You may have encounters, that will make you ill with hardships between a rock and cold, cold 🥶 hard place, on a nice plate. That's your entree, pity for an appealing appetizer, I suppose. For dessert it's rough times!

Beautifully stated, something to look forward to hmmm?

That's the thing to remember ...
There's always something to look forward to in case you ever get lost in the past.

Simple as matter of believing

Seeing everything in a heightened perspective in terms of creating light even from mistakes, and having an eye for the good, although the bad may linger for your company.

The titanic was not built in a day.

If you not going to try, then leave it alone.

Can't cry over spilled or spoiled milk.
It will not aid in cleaning the mess in process or reverting it to original freshness.

However it's more than okay to cry.

When has it ever caused problems for another soul?

It's okay to feel helpless, because it does not mean you are hopeless beyond repair.

Take everything with a grain of salt.


Yes, some days will be more rewarding than others.

You, are worth more than what money can afford. If nobody informed you.

I don't care if your parents never had faith in your spirited accomplishments.

This proud father here, wants to see his own, all children and YOU succeed!

Yes, times will come where you get frustrated or upset.

I believe our very evolution lies within our emotions.

My inner me, believes in the you that can do anything imaginable or extraordinary!

There's no escape, from the obstacles.
I offer these words in terms of you achieving your destiny

I believe in you!!!
Words from a wise man I have never received the honor of meeting, along with my own grandfather, may paradise bless them both in their departure. I am forever grateful fot the lessons provided to my love for me to revisit and learn.

a poetic and musical monument
weaved in harmony clear and fluent
for God life liberty and love
love is true ***** the flying dove
for a love blossomed felt so free
from a life lived in liberty
for a life that is  God blessed
if not for God then what would?
life in liberty wills true love
a prayer wish to all from above
God bless life liberty and love
a poetic and musical monument
remind inspire why it wouldn't?
