I don't need your money,
Its not important,
I'm my own lady,
With or without money,
If I'm with you it means I need your companionship,your love and your company,
Don't label me desperate if I give you my all because some of us just can't love half heartedly,we give it our all..
Sometimes, breathing is all it takes.
You can passively survive,
Activity can be choking.
Rest. Relax.
You can really understand how bright the moon is if you're in a place that's dark without lights,only relying on the night skys brightness.
You can really understand something when its the point of focus
Just like in the case of the moon,when you're surrounded by lights you see the moon as a tiny point of light in the sky,
But when the lights go out,you realise the moon actually illuminates.
In a dark situation,a seemingly little thing you didn't ever picture making sense,actually would make sense.
Like the bible you might have left dusty on the shelf,
Or even someone you never thought you'd ever befriend.
Moon was full and I thought of this.
It sweeps
             everything
          away,
                    everything
but
memories.

Time waits for noone,
    We work in its ways..
    We can't avoid time,
    Its always there,
    Your life is made up of time,
     Time can't be stopped.
     It can't be bought,
     Its an asset we all have..
     And its left up to us to utilise it.
Time brings all things to pass,
Time waits for noone,
Time is an asset,
Time is the most common yet important thing.
Time heals wounds,
It heals broken hearts,depending on how its used.
Time is fair,it rushes for noone and stops for noone
If there's anything that we all have in equal amounts;its time..
Time let's everyone use it,
Either for success or failure,building or destruction..
Time is to be treasured and used rightly,
As common as it may be,a day will come when you will no longer own it.
Time stops for noone,
Only consider yourself above others if time has ever stopped ticking just for you,
Otherwise we're all equal because all of us live with time whether we use it or waste it..
Drawing inspiration from the aspect of time,
Tip
Tip
When you feel underappreciated is when you should toot your own horn, clap for yourself and pat your own back. Because sometimes people don't even know what you know about what you've been through, you know best what you deserve and if no one gives it to you, give it to yourself! Remind yourself of what you deserve without waiting for someone else to give it to you. Love yourself enough to be your number one fan and to applaud yourself!
It carries more weight.
Do not
Force people
To see in you,
What they can not see
Effortlessly..
Because at the end of it all,we choose to see what we want to see in everyone.
My body feels abused,

My organs misused,

My systems worn out

I seriously need rest without a

doubt.
Feeling tired
There's no wasted moment of happiness,
Whatever makes you happy,do it!
You only have one life to live,
No one knows when they'll exit the face of planet earth,
But living a worthwhile life,a life you choose for yourself makes life worth it,
Take responsibility for your life,
Control it,its yours.
Let your actions be a pursuit to happiness atleast,
Happiness is worth searching for.
Count your joys,
Be happy,
Smile.
Pain is there to make you stronger,
Don't let it go to waste by not getting better through it,
Don't let it deteriorate you!
Let it be there to decorate you afterwards,
Learn from it,
Don't call it a problem,call it a challenge.
Make sure you win at it,.
Be optimistic!
Pessimism won't take you far,
Embrace your challenge as a way to grow and become better..
Embrace,accept and love what you have,
Have an attitude of gratitude,
Look forward to your hearts desires,
Acknowledge that life is full of phases,
Ups and downs
When in the ups,uplift others,
When in the downs;learn and thrive,you'll definitely survive.
Planet earth is not personally owned by any human being,
But why do we feel so inferior or more superior when we breath the same oxygen?
When all of us have the same most certain end which is death..
Is it because we have chosen these things we love to hate,
Or are we supposed to blame the society in which we found ourselves?
Well bottom line is:
The one who owns the universe views us all as equals,
And He puts before us opportunities to thrive usually in disguise..
The world isn't that unfair afterall..
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.
When you exist,you just happen.,When you live,you're actually happening
To love
Is to trust,
To love
Is to respect,
To love
Is to accept,
To love
Is to understand..

To love
Is to be loyal,
To love,
Is to be patient,
To love,
Is to be selfless,
To love,
Is to be kind.
When you don't get in touch with your inner self,
You lose touch of yourself.
Before hard times pass;    
Life stinks and hurts,
Worse than a wound oozing pus.
In such times....
Its always wise to realise that;
Every kind of pain,contains gain.
So choose to endure,
Because such times are always
An opportunity to bloom and mature......
My very first poem on HP :D
Poetry is the true freedom of expression..
TRUST
                Hard to build,
         Easy to break.
    well I bring a new proposal,
How about we start trusting people like people?
Like not expecting perfection,
   Like trusting but giving space,
The way we trust is a burden.
   We give people superior expectations,
               Trust in such a way that you realise you're trusting a human being . And that human being may fall short of your expectations,trust is real in love,in love trust is knowing that someone may not be perfect but still trust them because you love them and they're worth it.
If I do not trust anyone,
It is only because I can not be trusted.
God never sleeps,
Though it may feel like He has blinked on us when things go amiss,
He hasn't. He is forever aware of everything that happens to you. He allows it for a purpose. He is worthy of all trust,His grace is forever enough. Trust Him.
Let your trust in Him be your hope.
It comes with the burden of infallibility.
In the case of loving someone,
Don't trust them to never hurt you,
Trust them enough to know that they are only human and they are bound to err..
Trust them enough to give them freedom and space,
Trust them enough to know that their human nature can sin in anyway possible,
Trust isn't about perfection,
Its about knowing and accepting the fact that someone can sin against you or even hurt you but you choose to take the risk because you know that they are worth it,
Don't make trust a burden for anyone,
Trust simply and love truly..
Trust really isn't anything close to perfection,its just love being willing to get hurt cause it would be worth it.
For as long as a human being is bound to err,
Trust will forever remain a grief to bear.
Trust is too big to
be
delicate,but it just is.

Its hard to attain,
And
Not easy to maintain.

Trust is too big to
be
delicate,but it just is.
May even take years to build and just a second to crumble.
Its deep.
But let's trust reasonably.
I really love you,
But honestly,I wouldn't die for you..
And I hope you appreciate the fact that I'm being true to you..
So many things I would do to please you,
But suicide or self sacrifice,isn't just one of them..,
Because if I were to die for you,
You would live your entire life with that blame..
#truth be told
Two hearts sharing the same feelings,
Skipping beats at the same time,
When physically apart,missing is their language,
They speak through it,
Two hearts;different preoccupations but meeting anyway,
Never separated because distance can't push them apart,
Probably death because that's the time when one of the hearts will stop skipping beats for the other,
But the living heart still bleeds and still beats for the no longer beating one,
Such are two hearts in love.

How am I supposed to feel beautiful if beauty is specified?
I mean,I'm different!
You tell me to love myself yet you always point out the negatives in me,
Can't you just let me be?
If you have nothing good to say just shut up!
I'm not in denial of my flaws,I just don't need a constant reminder..
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.
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.
Feeling un-inspired??

Go outside ,go outside,take a walk

And you will stumble into
inspiration,

You just need to keep an open mind.
Unwrap me from the veins of your heart,
Free me from your mind,
Let your ears forget the sound of my name,
And your tongue the taste of my lips.
Because a broken soul can not feel it all.
Allow me healing, therefore unlove me.
Always smile,
Its worthwhile...
My Shortest Poem so far.
Envy is poison,
Be happy with yourself.
Be proud of yourself
There is no safe haven on earth,
The only safe place is in Gods hands.
**** the silence!,
Speak out,let the one who murdered your innocence pay..
Don't harm them in anyway,forgive them but break the silence and tell the world about it,
Your life will be a shining example to all those who've been through your pain,
Write about it,
Post it,.
Its not easy,but it feels better when someone else gets to know about it and learns from it..
**** happens but life must go on..
Us
Us
People look down on us
Without realising that life is unpredictable,
Being at the top today doesn't guarantee the same for tomorrow,
Time and chance happen to us all,
They think we are boring,lame and we don't know the life,
They don't realise that what they refer to as lame and boring is actually integrity,
But its fine if they look down on us,
We'll still shine in the end.

The best revenge,
Is happiness and success
Be happy on your pursuit of success,
Your enemies will be infuriated but still won't harm you because you're not alone.
People of value,
Value people.
Penetrates physical appearance,
Realises the flaws,
Accepts them even when unchangeable,
And colours them with strengths.
Beauty lies in the eyes of love,
Love from within,
Looks attract but don't keep the fire burning,
Love does.
I like to think of love as more than physical attraction.,I believe its more than just that.
I feel my faith is too little to move mountains,
Voices in my head tell me I'm less of a believer,
They tell me I don't deserve Divine favour,
These voices are so loud and many
But in their noises,
I catch one calm yet strong voice saying I can make it;
However much faith I have,
Its always enough even that as small as a mustard seed,
And I choose to believe it,
Because I know that's the voice of truth.
Voices in my head tell me to slap your face when you offend me,
Voices in my head tell me to cut myself when I'm in pain!
Voices in my head tell me to degrade someone for me to feel better,
Voices in my head tell me to compare myself to others..
Voices in my head tell me to only do what pleases me,
Voices in my head are never happy with me,
Voices in my head are never satisfied!
Voices in my head are always enraged,.
But there's one small voice that comforts me,
Its quiet and calm
But very powerful.,
It only works when I choose to be still and listen....
Being beautiful isn't about dating the most guys,
Or having the most trendy outfits,
Respect itself is beauty,
Self acceptance is beauty
You're priceless!
Don't cheapen yourself by giving in to every guys ***** desires over you,
Noone can treat you like a queen if you don't see and present yourself as one,
Define who you are,
And have self respect and count yourself worthy of true respect.
Appreciate what you have,while you still have it,
Don't wait for it to go before you realise how much value it holds.
We're shaped by our reaction to our experiences.
We dream,
We dream because,
We dream because there's hope in dreams.
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.
