The poets..
Some people read and learn from the stories,
The poets live and write the stories.

I'LL BE WAITING FOR YOU!
I miss you
My fondness of you can't seem to find a way out,
My heart has no open door for you to leave,
But if thats the case,i'll make a hole so that i can bleed you out.
I miss you so much today,
Maybe because i'm experiencing hormonal imbalances or genuinely miss you,
But the pain of missing you is better than the pain of being with you and feeling bothered and having you feel unsatisfied. 
I'm sorry for being selfish.
I want your hug so bad,
Your kisses on my cheek..
And my forehead.
I'll always be there for you whenever,if you need a shoulder to lean on,if you need a listening ear.. i'll be waiting for you.

LOVE
Love; not to get back the exact same love but to give out a part of you,
To share that which someone might never have known if you hadn't crossed their path.
Giving to receive is not really giving,
It is actually lending.
If someone does not appreciate your presence,it's alright because someone else does appreciate it.
Do not put your self worth on the line in the name of giving love, love yourself enough to respect your boundaries. Give love but do not lose yourself in the process.
REMEMBER;
TO LOVE IS TO FORGIVE,
TO LOVE IS TO LET GO
TO LOVE IS TO GIVE FREEDOM
TO LOVE IS TO TRUST
TO LOVE IS TO RESPECT.
TO LOVE IS TO FREELY GIVE.

Adorned empty vessels
Adorned empty vessels,
Adorned empty vessels,
Beautiful on the outside,
Empty inside,
Empty,no emotions,no empathy,no love,
Adorned empty vessels,
Hoping to cover up all the scars with whatever they can,
Adorned empty vessels,
Hurt and broken inside,
Adorned on the outside,
Looks are deceiving they say,and they never lied.
Adorned empty vessels,
Empty tins make the loudest noise they say,
Well thats probably a scream for help,
Adorned empty vessels.

Be happy
Be happy,
You are alive,
Be happy,
You can read,
Be happy,
You can write,
Be happy,
Life is hope,
Be happy,
You are loved,
Be happy,
You are you,
Be happy,
You add value,
Be happy,
You are important,
Be happy,
You really matter,
Be happy,
You have purpose,
Be happy,
God loves you,
Be happy.
Be happy.
You are hope,
Be happy.
You are life,
Be happy.
You have food,
Be happy,
You have water,
Be happy.
So many reasons to be happy,be happy. Do not take your life for granted because others wish they had what you have.
Let your thoughts run freely,
Your words flow smoothly,
Not for impression,
But for your hearts expression,
There's no better relief than pouring out words without feeling like you'll be judged for them,
Your journal, use it. Speak to the pages and give them life,
Breathe your creativity into them,
Make them colourful with your thoughts,
For whatever your thoughts and words are,they contain life.
When you write them down,you breathe into them.
You give life to empty pages.

DEMONS
The demons in your head are louder than those surrounding you,
Only when you silence the ones within can you escape the ones around you,
Because it is the ones inside of you that attract the ones outside.
Just like someone said "thoughts are things."

Heavenly
You see my hearts darkest place,
My worst fears,
You see my tears before they reach my face.
My lethal thoughts,. You know them all,
Yet you still love me.
Every single feel in me,you trace.
Wherever life takes me,in you i will rest..
Your peace will abide in me
And your love will shine upon me forever.

BEAUTY
The standards:

Big sparkly eyes,
Long thick eye lashes,
Slim curvaceous body,
Long thick hair,
Full lips,
Slightly pointed nose,
Tiny waist,
No eye rings,

If the above stated do not describe you,you are not alone.
Beauty is diverse,no single person can come up with an ideal type.

But truly;
Beauty is in how you see yourself,
It radiates from within you.
Compliments and reassurance statements are not enough,
What keeps it alive is how you feel about yourself
A compliment afterall is just an opinion,
And like seasons,opinions change..
Embrace every part of who you are,
No human can give you better love than yourself.

Is it enough?
To be conceived,
Be born,
Breathe,
And then die?

Do not waste your life,follow your heart for it contains your joy and satisfaction..
If we die to rest in peace why don't we live to be busy enjoying every bit of life and peace of mind?
Isn't peace more useful now than in death? Well I'm not sure but peace is a need right now. Having peace is shutting out negativity, being the real you no matter what and embracing only positive vibes.
Love yourself,live your life.

ABOUT REGRET
An excruciating feeling,
What we regret usually is what we can not undo,
But instead of regretting,why not learn from that and move on to other things?
**Regret only eats you up,
It haunts you until you're done and out and left hopeless.
Regret never leaves you alone,
Its something you have to throw out!

The problem with trust
Well, the problem is that people who trust people expect those people to be infallible.
When we trust someone we expect utmost perfection.
Just write about writing about having nothing to write about.
So many times I lose my foothold,
The Lord stretches out His right hand,
And takes me aboard,
When I'm almost sinking and drowning,he holds me up and puts me on dry land.
Hopelessness and helplessness bring out the courage in me that cries out for help..
In humility and full surrender.
Jesus Christ saves.
Instead of drowning in pain,shame and sorrow. Let Him take your hand and give you hope,
Let Him carry your burdens and give you rest.
There is not substitute for His love.

If love is a feeling,
Then it is lust.
If love is in your deeds,
Then it will last.

A broken heart
A broken heart can love,
A broken heart survived,
A broken heart still beats,
A broken hearts pieces yearn to be picked up and put back together,
A broken heart was once whole,
A broken heart still supplies blood to the body,
A broken heart is not to be forsaken for;
A broken heart is as beautiful and as functional as one that is whole except
A broken heart has known brokenness.

Don't be sorry
For being right.
For knowing more than you are expected to know,
For doing what is right.
For knowing who you are,
For knowing your worth.
For taking pride in your being,
For not being ignorant.
For being innocent,
For holding on to your beliefs,
For being hopeful and having faith.
For being loyal.
For being different.
For being an introvert,
For being an extrovert,
For being an ambivert.
For not being understood.
For choosing your own path.
For being your own best friend.
For loving yourself.
For leaving behind things and people for your own good.
For choosing to put yourself first.
For listening to yourself.
For being a woman,
For being a man.
For crying.
For believing you deserve the best.
For accepting who you are.
For being a cheerful person,
For being a quiet person.
For being beautiful,
For being confident.
For being realistic.
For being optimistic.
For being blessed.
For making yourself happy,
For taking yourself seriously.
For loving someone.
For being a human being.
If it is who you are,the only person to be sorry is the one trying to change you.

Create
Create,
A world
So beautiful
That every being will
Be happy living in it. Let
Everyone be who they want
To be. Without making them feel
Less special.
We were all born therefore,we all
Deserve to live before we
Leave this world. But
Its no use waiting
To be accepted.
Accept you
Accept who you are.
And love you
First
No matter what you go through,
Believe in the power of time,
Believe that where there is life there is hope.
Just holding on a day more,
An hour more,a minute more can make the difference.
Your breakthrough could be the next minute or second.
Hold on and stay strong.
Your life was never meant to be ended by yourself.
Hold on a little bit longer. You are never alone no matter how lonely it gets.
People going through what you are going through are with you,
Stay strong and be their source of hope and light one day.

A death
A death more painful than that of the body is that of the conscience.
One without a conscience is like a person who is dead but walking and causing harm.

Love vs Lust
Lust is selfish,love is selfless
Lust wants your body,love needs your soul.
Lust wants physical fulfillment,love needs emotional fulfillment.
Lust is conditional,love is unconditional.
Lust gives to receive,love gives for free.
Lust drains you,love energises you.
Lust is chaos,love is peace.
Lust fails,love never fails.
Lust is addiction,obsession,. But love,it is spacious,it does not envy.
Love is forgiving and kind. It does not hold grudges.
Love is a jewel,treasure it.
Lust happens to us but it should not dominAte. Let love take the lead.
The love in which I believe is the strongest,greatest,deepest force on earth.
It is something that can never be destroyed nor created;it is energy.
It is not romance,it is not a relationship,it is not blood relation.
It is always conserved. It can only change form and direction.
If you hate deeply,you once loved deeply.
Therefore love is the enantiomer of hate.
It is existent in all,
It may lie dormant or active.  Or in another form,
In all creation it exists naturally.
We simply share what lies within us.
This force creates unbreakable bonds.
It never dies,if it does. It was not there in the first place..
Love never dies in the sense that it only changes direction or form.

The inner being❤
Your soul has no height nor weight,
It has no marks of scars of your past,
Nor tattoos of what your body has ever undergone,
So then your soul is plain,
Open,****..
Its what i love about you..
Why hold yourself captive of your past troubles,scars ad deeds,
When those things aren't marked on your true being;the real person you are,
We define everything first by how it looks.
With this,we lose opportunities with great people,
We overlook them and forget theres a deeper side of them to which we can connect.

Trust and humans..
For as long as a human being is bound to err,
Trust will forever remain a grief to bear.
Nobody can understand you more than you..
Therefore when things seem to go amiss,
People lose hope in you.
Stand for you!!
You need your support more than anyone elses.
Opinions change,opinions are based on conditions..
But belief;it is unshakable.
If you believe in yourself,
No matter what anyone says you will still regard yourself highly.

There is hope!!
Hopelessness can be felt,
But its not a fact.
Hopelessness is only real in death.
If you are alive,
There is always hope.
No matter what you go through,be encouraged. There is hope everyday,look forward to each new day and see what it brings.

LIFE IS A MARVEL..
Life is a wonder,
We have life but its still hard to fathom.
Any second can bring a new experience,
And all things can happen,
Anything is possible;that we know.
But still find it tough to believe in a miracle,
We get what we want and next thing,
We want something else..
There is never satisfaction so i wonder if there is one meant to be; destiny.
We reach but never arrive,
Till the day we die,we keep on striving .
When are we ever going to rest and just enjoy life and not worry about a thing?,
We found life this way and i guess we'll leave it this way,
Taking each day as it comes and finding fulfillment in accomplishing goals day by day..

A beautiful soul,
Your love for us i do not understand because it is too great.
Motherhood isn't just a duty, its a gift that only passion can nurture.
Mum you have done just that and more.
So many times we err you still correct us TIRELESSLY and love us even more.
I love you very much,
You shout at us yes but thats how some of us can learn and im grateful for that.
I would never want to picture life without you mummy,you're so special.
You make that house a home.
You do all your duties right,no lie.
I'd never wish for another mother mummy.
Dad is blessed to have you.
You're the best mother in the world,irreplaceable,beautiful,wonderful.
Your big warm heart inspires me,
It gives me hope in this dark world, it makes me realise humanity still exists.
Your love for God strengthens my faith too.
You're awesome mum.
You're a big blessing,
Its a privilege to have you.
I love you.
Built to protect,
Not to deter anyone..
But to defend self from brokenness..
But for how long can those walls last without breaking down..
Not searching for a hero.. Just a fighter.

Matters of the heart..
Matters of the heart,
Aren't that different from art..
Moulded by the mind,
Every experience is one of a kind.
Just like art,creativity is a drive.
And just like art,at perfection,you can never arrive..
The eyes see,
And the mind sees what the eyes have not seen..
Nothing to do with blindness..

Live above the doubts!!
Doubts do happen,
But we can live above them.
Never forget why you started what you started.
There is no greatness that is easy to attain.
The struggles strengthen and humble us.
They make us stronger and impart in us incredible power and wisdom.
Let us appreciate our pain during the pursuit,
Let us use that pain to thrive and rise above expectations.
Greatness is not easy to achieve but it is possible; that is hope enough.

Addiction
Grabs so much importance,
Taking the place of common sense.
Deep yearnings which when made to go unsatisfied feel like suffocation,
Addiction,tolerance of the weakness of the flesh.
Giving in to satisfy something that will never be satisfied..

THE BIRDS
Fly without fear of falling,
That courage I envy.*

Beautiful in their feathers,
And content without covering up.

Can not cook nor farm,
But trust their creator that they wouldn't starve.

They fly high,
Up to where they belong..
Doing what they were meant to do.

Beautify the earth as creatures of the sky.

Unconditional love
A love that is worth dying for,
One that is pure and innocent..
Who would ask for more?
It's simply magnificent,
And in this day and age,
It's a miracle.
One worth hoping and waiting for.

What do we have left?
Morals abandoned,
Faith broken,
Love forsaken.

Therefore joy gets stolen.

What we have left is ; fakeness,struggles,pain,hurt,blindness, bitterness,
But we also still have love,*
That little spark can rekindle the joy.

The journey of life
Life is like a journey of a million miles,
Starting very simply,but complicated.
Conception first then birth that breeds smiles,
Adolescence steps in with its own troubles to be daily contemplated,
Adulthood too with delicate dignity and pride,
Life can be rough but its a long beautiful ride,
Life then offers its glorious crown in grey,
Something to take pride in,
And never disguise..
A show case of wisdom from deep within,
And a sign to never despise..
Not all see this glory,
And so if it is upon you,consider yourself blessed,chosen.
For nature took its time and watched you proceed with deep lessons steadily.

That girl.
She wasn't fighting for attention,
She needed help.
She felt invisible thats why she had to lessen the amount of cloths she wore,
So that someone could tell her she was beautiful,
Because back home,no one told her so.
She found it hard to believe her smile was enough to brighten her face so she masked herself with make up,
Trying to make up for what she thought she never had..
Theres always that girl like her,
What she needs to realise is that shes more than enough,
Beautiful as she is without approval.

The stars and the moon
Look up at the night sky,
And see how beautiful the stars look,
Shiny and outstanding without even trying,

And the moon,
Illuminating the darkness..
The moon and the stars offer that beauty,
In togetherness,


Not trying to outshine each other,
Because they are beautiful together..
We are different individuals,and its our differences that make the completion of everything that is.

Questions
How can you doubt and trust at once?
Have faith but worry??
How can you keep your eyes dry,
When all they want to do is cry?
How can you stand when life is pushing you to your knees?
Answer : by trusting the one who brought you this far.
Life is crazy but hey,being alive is enough hope.

THE IRONY OF LIFE
With free will we make our own choices which we think are right,
Well not always..
Ancient day arranged marriages worked better than todays free will marriages,ironic. Right?
The people looked down upon actually excel,
And those that try to make others feel inferior are the ones actually inferior.

Imagine this..
A world with people having the same personality and style,
Where everybody is a copy of the other,
We all have the same smile,
And just want to compete with each other..

Competition can be motivational,
But sometimes a killer.
Competing with yourself is ideal because there is no other you,theres just you so the only one you can make better is your self by ensuring you are better than you were yesterday.


Be an individual,
You are like a colour in a piece of art..
Without you its incomplete.
Imagine the world as a piece of art,
Everyone offering a different kind of beauty,
Don't change yourself for anyone,you are you and you deserve to live as you!
Be yourself.
Life is scary because its unpredictable,
But then it is its mystery that gives hope.
When opportunity knocks,
Open the door,go through it..
Its discouraging when we realise we may not see tomorrow,so we just let life be and not feel like taking control,
But what we should realise is that we may actually see tomorrow and regret losing an opportunity..
Therefore whatever you can lay your hands on today,do it with your whole heart optimistically hoping that you will see the results of your work.
Life is unpredictable,its deep like that but its beautiful.. so much beauty we can find in it..
Be fulfilled,be blessed!

To dare is scary
To dare is scary,
Something new to the mind,
And seemingly wrong to all the eyes on you..
In search of perfection you realise you're only human,
Then you begin to live as you should,
Doing what matters to your heart,
Knowing you were born alone and will die alone,
Therefore the path in between your life and death must be under your rules,
On a straight path,acknowledging God your creator and living your life.
Each and everything happens for a reason,
God has each and every detail in place,
Whether in a good or bad season,
When you walk with him,you're walking the right pace..
Its beautiful how everything turns out to happen for the good of those who love God,
So in worrying we gain nothing,nothing,nothing.
But in trust we become bold,
And have nothing to lose,for in our minds he has it all under control,therefore we do not lose but gain everything.
Born through a ******,
Symbolising how pure he had to be..
How perfect he would live to be worthy of dying for all our sins..
Holy above all humanity so that if we repent in his name,we may live in his righteousness.
Glory be to the prince of peace,
Oh hail the King! Bless the Lord!
We commemorate his birth because of his greatness beyond measure... Love too big and grace too deep.
Jesus Christ,our reason for the season!

People pleaser
PEOPLE PLEASER..
Is that a way of life to take up??
Living your life on a fellow humans terms??
Dearest people pleaser,you may think its love you're showing when in the actual sense its slavery..
Choose your path and live on your own terms.
The people you try to please wont even be there to regret with you the day you'll leave this earth.
We humans are never satisfied so trying to please humanity by all means will never satisfy,
People pleasing only ends up in losing self,self dignity and self respect,self love and self trust.
