Create not barriers around you
So high, Love cannot transcend
And your Heart shrouded in gloom
Fortifying the mind, form its beauty
When Love comes seeking you
It will be spurned by the wall around you
Leaving you a prisoner in your world
Break away from the shackles
And let Love rule over your heart*

Am I losing hold?
In a hurricane thought storm
Little deaths on the television
Remind me of my inactions

Said I’d even myself
Out, after giving into self
Doubt. Unstable, leaning toward self
Harm, while the world tumbles itself
Round

Bitter at my own lack
Feel the fire dying in my breath
While the world
Burns and breaks and blisters in a growing wreck

Did my stutter break another heart?
Did my whisper **** that child?
Too quiet for him to hear the reason
I searched for myself, at sixteen

Is every stilted thought, wasted potential / opportunity
To better myself, better the world,
And every person I'll ever meet?

I will not let
Hesitation
Separate
Soul from body
Ever again

I am not lifeless
I am not cruel
I will not be a bystander
I swear

I am not lifeless
I am not cruel
I will not be a bystander
I swear
Ever again

After some failed relationships they all began to look the same
S­he then began to realize that something in life had to change
Eit­her she gives up or she gives in, her outlook became dim
Heartbre­ak had her so shaken that love became a sin
Now she is a collapse­d star becoming a lonely blackhole,
though, this should not imply­ that she begins to lack soul
She's just trying to let go while n­ot losing all hope,
but those goals are linked like opposing ends­ of a rope
Beauty doesn't need a beast, she needs a true prince
t­o sweep her off her feet and give a gentle pinch
so she knows it'­s not a dream, that the struggles added up
to something so magnif­icent that she cries at the touch
She needs to open her heart bef­ore opening her eyes
and find it within herself to fill herself u­p with pride
Any woman worth the price will know her own worth
An­y person worth fighting for will put in their own work
Sometimes ­standards change, which doesn't mean lowered
And sometimes if lif­e is taken just a few knots slower
we just might have a chance to­ catch that rare, big fish
that swallowed the precious penny for ­us to make that wish
from the genie in the bottle that we found i­n the desert
while flocking with our friends that were of like­-f­eathers
Basically, we could find fortune when we least expect it,­
but all our other priorities should not be neglected
Things begi­n to fall into place if we willingly make space
Sometimes our opp­ortunities directly slap us in our face
Whatever may be the case,­ we move at our own pace,
but we should be ready to take that lea­p of faith

Surrounded by 3 walls,
he rose from his bed
and shuffled to the front
waiting to be fed

Against steel rod he clanged
routinely with his only ring,
a token from his previous life
one full of fame and bling.

But instead the floors opened
revealing a hole quite small
but enough to escape in
to his home in Montreal

His gut spoke and told him,
"Go! You finally have an opportune clearing"
But The Brain commanded,
"Stay with Know, fear Not Knowing."

She's a dime a dozen runaway.

Educated by the light of day.

But forget about stories of the fast lane,

She’d rather reach for a strong hand.



She met her baby on South Ave.

He was just as blown away to(o,)

be noticed by the county beauty queen

of corn or cows or something ordinary.



Local five and dime's no place to hide,

if she wants to shine this ‘little light of mine’.

Above on a hill, her silhouette sits by a street light.

Hands nervous and gripping tight,



Bags are packed, fake smiles attached,

the beauty of the world, seems all but detached.

I think to myself ‘I could use a bit of company,’

So, “Hey, honey, wanna share a ride with me?”

Teaching by Example
can be rather difficult
in a World where people seem to refuse
to learn how to teach themselves,
let alone have the humility
to concede the very fact
that there has been opportunity
that they have opted to miss,
however consciously.

To learn
is up to One's self;
no one else can, let alone will, do it for you.

Wipe the sleep from your eyes
Today I am going to teach you to be wise
The saying today is “Wake up your career”
Determine where you want to go from here
You are probably feeling you are stuck in a rut
No I am not a nut
Make your decisions fierce
Have a strategy in how your career will be set up
Skip the route in being fed up
Decisions are easy to make
But it is your efforts in footsteps that you must take
Every effort being an achievement
Constant thinking being a commitment
You need to see your career going forth
Your career in what they say is what you need to put in
The lessons you learn in how to begin
Use the theory in your every day walk of life in your feeling of when.
