Hardwork
Knowing exactly what you want is motivation enough.

Eyes
The most perfect
eyes are those
of the mind.
I bet the world would be very different.
All acts would be taken thoughtfully and cautiously,
Peace would prevail,
Education would be deep,not for employments sake but for gaining of knowledge,knowledge to live by and not just make a living from.
Not everyone chooses to think deeply,others are scared they might know the truth,others just don't think they can think beyond opinions.
In every mind lies answers to questions life has to offer,
They always await being drawn out,
If wisdom wasn't an option I'd say its fine to be a fool,but since wisdom is a choice..being a fool is total folly.
Why buy your own downfall when you can choose glory?
Life is tougher for thinkers because everything means something to them,
Its easier for shallow minds because even something may seem like nothing to them,
In as much as life's easier for shallow thinkers,its not safe at all.there's so much to risk.
As for thinkers,solutions are at the tips of their fingers,and they're not scared to find out truths.
And because of this,they reveal truths everyone else might have known but had no way of putting  across or breaking it down..indeed there's nothing new under the sun.
We are all potential philosophers

Beauty
Beauty standards!! I wonder who comes up with those,.. society?? But we are the society.. why do we come up with things against ourselves?
Making women and men feel bad about themselves just to advertise products.
Telling them,they are not good enough and will continue to be not good enough until they use that which is being sold.
Its sad really.. our insecurities are their adverts,. Whats sad is they give the solution but it leaves our minds the same,immediately after "fixing" the "defect" we look for another one..
The best solution is to know that true beauty is skindeep and judging people by outward appearance is not fair.
Real beauty lies inside of us,its good to look good and feel good.. but focusing on the outside never satisfies.

Why God allows suffering
Suffering was not part of the original plan,
Because when man was created,he was already connected to God-the closeness that we now have to seek existed naturally.
When man sinned,he had to start striving for a better life,a relationship with God,and also the search for wisdom and knowledge.
Suffering draws our hearts closer to God,when man sinned the original relationship was distorted therefore there has to be a way to draw us truly back to God.
When theres suffering,theres deep humility that makes us surrender all to Christ because we acknowledge that our strengths are just not enough.
God wants us to love and trust Him,therefore He is always with us through it all... Sometimes we suffer because God is trying to remind us of His power and glory,to return to Him and not miss heaven.
God loves you and He is very much ALIVE!!
THE all loving God allows suffering,not that He takes pleasure in it but because  He always provides a way out and before we leave through that door,we strengthen our relationship with Him. God doesnt need us,He wants us because He created us and He created us because He loves us. Suffering is not for us to be punished but to learn;endurance,patience,faith,REAL joy and build a strong character.
And other times,people suffer so that other people can learn to be grateful for where they are and what they have. And usually people that serve such a purpose rejoice in their suffering because they know the source of their joy.

JESUS CHRIST
Integrity and love filled,
Graced with a beautiful soul,
Greatest man to ever walk the earth..
Gentle and forgiving,
Humility unmatched,
And love unconditional.
JESUS CHRIST is the saviour.
Always ready to take us back as His own to love and to hold despite our faults..

Suffering
A reminder that what the body feels as pain is actually what strengthens the soul.
When the body hurts,remember that your spirit is being strengthened,for it is then that the spirit seeks its creator.
Not that to suffer is good,but it is gain.
Not self inflicted pain but just pain.

HERITAGE BEAUTY QUEEN
Daughter of the soil,
Bathed in gold,
And clothed in black foil,
True beauty that only a real artist can mould,
Shoulders broad,waist slender and curves broad as the shoulders,
The hourglass figure in place.
Knees darkened by hard work with no boarders,
Smile that brightens her face,
And a presence that spells comfort,
A woman ; love replica
Beauty is default,
Flawless is the woman of the soil,the woman of Africa.

Inferiority compleX
A disease,

Luckily its curable..

When with great people,its never at ease,

To it,its invisible.

And everyone else invincible.

Its all about looking at what everyone else is doing,

And forgetting its own work.

Doesnt know where its going,

All it does is want to break.

Its hard living with that disease,

So lets give ourselves some remedy;

A piece of self acceptance to put your mind at ease,

A table spoon full of self love to revive your energy,

And big dreams to ignite your fire.

The beauty of music
Its for everyone,
Anyone.
Everybody,
And anybody.
Don't change for the world,
Be bold enough to be yourself
And watch the world bow to the real you,
Let it change to accomodate you,
You can't change to accomodate the world.
That's almost impossible.
Be the real you,keep your standards high and let nothing stop you.
You're beautiful,no beauty standard should rule your life.
If you're on the right track don't let anyone move you to the side. Keep moving.

Poem inspired by the song scars to your beautiful by Alessia Cara.

Manufactured by heaven
Earth,
Eveybodys place of birth,
But not of origin nor design,
Having a soul is a sign,
A sign that we people,
Were meant for more ,
Earth isnt our place of stay,
Our lives will really begin one day,
Someday when we realise who we are,
And what matters the most here.

Every great thing starts small.
Manage the little youre blessed with,
But dont stop trying to get better.
Earlier this year you made it,
Remember to use your history for strength.
Happy new month,
A sign of hope and new beginnings,
The year is coming to an end and youve made it this far,congratulations!

Queen of integrity
Her beauty glows from her character,
Her eyes are good attitude,
And her lips; good words.
Her nostrils are hope,
Her make up is confidence,
Her crown is her integrity.
She isnt flawless and she doesnt try to be
Real as she can be,
She lives in reality.
Emotional independence and stability both are her strengths,
A woman with values and well aware of her worth,
Doesnt abuse her sexuality to take men for granted.
That is the queen of integrity.
Life is funny,
Unpredictable,
No matter how we try to control things around us,
Something just turns up that reminds us that we may have control over our lives but we have no control over life itself.
Its funny like that,
Uncontrollable nature of life.

God
God
Powerful and mighty,
Majestic and awesome.
Belief in God doesn't require approval.
All it requires is a willing heart,
Humble enough to accept a creator,
Each life is like a book,
Written by one author,
Purposed and known by Him,
Gracious and merciful is He.
His love is unconditional and endures everything. Indeed He is God.

Created from inspiration,
Crafted with utmost perfection.
Perfection because art is flawless,
Flows smoothly like sand in an hour glass.

Analytical poetry
Life is a two way thing,

You dont always give when you receive and you dont immediately receive when you give.

Well not that kind of two way thing.

Two way in such a way that everything has two sides to it.

There are always two paths and the results you earn trace back to the chosen path.

Either right or wrong,

You choose a good path that leads to a destiny and the bad path also leads to a destiny.

Some lives are purposed to teach others life lesssons and some lives are purposed to learn and teach others how to learn from mistakes.

Always choose the right path,it pays well.
Every travelled route has a destination.

The poets sWORD
Words can't be touched,
But they can break a heart.
A word can comfort or distort.
Sweet talk isn't the best language but if you have to choose it over breaking someone,choose it.
The words we speak can inspire,shape or put one in despair.
All ears deserve to hear a nice word about them.
Everyone has the power of words in them.
Let's think before we can speak.
Speak life!
A poets sword is his or her word*.
Proverbs 27:17 -
As iron sharpens iron,
so one person sharpens another.

Welcome to my world
I believe in love,
My mind wanders freely..
I've come to terms with who I am,
My concept of life;some may condemn,
But that's not something to bother me,
I believe in heaven,
In life after death..
My life may not be perfect here,
But I'm hopeful,I live to satisfy my inner most being.
I love and trust truly.
I'm not much of an open book,its upto one to flip my pages and read through me.

God doesn't exist,God lives.
I've never believed anything without questioning why,
The question of God is the biggest I've come and across and actually answered.
God isn't a myth to comfort a weak mind,
God is the truth that a strong humble mind accepts and embraces.
With wisdom God lives,for with wisdom one knows that science is a portion of His creation and therefore it can't prove His absence.
If God exists,He's just there doing nothing.
But if God lives,He's always moving and watching over His children.
Believing in God isn't folly nor illiteracy. It is wisdom and realisation that without a Creator life has no purpose and if that's the case then there's no point living.
Most people that choose not to believe in God,do so thinking if they accept the belief in God they'll be conforming to a lower standard of thinking and to a control over their lives. Well that's no the case,God doesn't control your life,God directs your life.

Envy
Do not  envy a thing who's origin you do not know.
Appreciate and respect your level in life.
If you want to change it,do so.
Work towards that.
People go through a lot to attain what they own,
You have your own path to move on and life to face.
Focus on improving your being and relevance.
Life is all about choices,chances,phases.
Accept where you are,respect it. Its part of your journey.

Shy
They say the limit is the sky,
But for a girl who's shy,
The mind is the limit.
Everything happens in it.
Nothing leaves except a few lucky thoughts,
Papers hear her scream in dots,
And they embrace her words
Because its only on the pages that she let's them free like birds.
She hears her heart beating when she stands in a crowd,
Wishing she lived in a cloud,
All alone with the stars in the night,
But her mind is right when it thinks her future is bright*.

Beauty
It is the soul that contains beauty.
True beauty can only emerge from within,
Beauty is everlasting,
That's why it can't be physical because nothing physical is everlasting.
The immortal part of being is what's beautiful.
Its moulded by its owner and given a final touch by its creator.
Beauty is in you.

Writers block
Numbness of creation,
Loss of literature.
Words feel empty,
Yearning to gather them up and use them... But they escape,
More like an attempt to paint with dry paint and a dry brush,
But words always fly back to their owners,
Filled and inspired; they fly back to the one to write them.
Its always just a phase.
Stay positive :)

Love your SELF,
There's nothing you own so much as your SELF.
Respect your being,
You're important,you're different and with a unique purpose.
Appreciate who you are,
Even if people judge you wrongly,
If you're on the right track,keep moving.
If you don't love yourself,how will you love another?
For what you do not have,you can not give.
Love who you are,your self needs more love,appreciation,care and respect from you.
Self hate dimishes your true being,embrace who you are and love yourself. Not that you'll be hated if you don't love yourself,but because its a need for a life worth living.
Love your SELF! You deserve that and more.
You can't give what you don't have so love you first before loving another.

Dreamers know the depth of their dreams,
They know that to dream is to live inside the mind.
Their passions are like loud screams..
Unavoidable, but the worthy kind.

Dreams without work are mere fantasies.
Achievement comes by work.
Work your dreams out!

Pursuit
Everything that has breath isn't something to last forever.
Time here on earth is limited.
Follow your passion;that very thing that makes your heart skip beats.
Love yourself inside out,embrace your flaws and let them rest in your strengths.
Living life to please others is a waste of breath.
We leave this earth individually and if we have to leave it with regrets then we'll bear the pain alone.
Live in such a way that when you're taking your last breath,your heart will be at peace at its last beat.

Love isn't blind
Loves eyes are as open as can be,
They're not blind,
Love clearly views flaws and takes up the challenge,
Its beautiful if the effort is appreciated and yields goodness,
Its ugly if the effort goes in vain and yields nothing to be proud of.
Life happens to all,
So does love..
It all works out according to how you take it.
Open your eyes in love.

Because these days,the chains are unseen so getting help is difficult.

Its spreading too fast,we might all fall victim. Feeling incomplete when you miss a trend that won't add any inch to your height nor value to your life; that's modern day slavery.
