I'll know you when I see you,
I'll think of you even when I no longer see you,
Not sure if I'd die for you,
Hey I'm just being honest,
I'm always real,maybe not the realest,
But I do try,
I really don't lie.
Anytime you can cry on me,
Laugh with me,
I'll totally smile when you hold my hand,
We can walk through any land,
Because we're taking steps together,
And we'll endure no matter the weather.
Yeah yeah :D
Phew!! dear future something(love I guess) lol

Do not take anything personal.
People do things because of them and not because of you,
We are naturally selfish.
Acting out of the abundance of our hearts,sometimes heavy laden,tired.
Let's give each other a break, a little more benefit of the doubt.
The world revolves around no one but the sun. We take things personal sometimes, not knowing what the other person is going through. What's making them act a certain way.
You were deeply hurt in the past,
You still bleed with pain and your      wounds are still fresh and open,and everyday feels like salt is being added to them.
You're angry at the world,but I want to let you know that,life will always be the same if you aren't willing to  change your mindset.
The only way to get over being hurt is forgiving,I know forgiving isn't as simple as it sounds,but its worth working out.
Being bitter affects only you!,not the one who made you bitter.
You have to accept that life happened to you and realise that the person may not deserve forgiveness but you definitely deserve  peace of mind.
Let your soul soar!don't let it fade away,you're special!,everything happens for a reason.
Go out there and be an inspiration to the people undergoing what you recovered from,
You're strong and tough!that's why you've reached this far,don't give up now.
God loves you...
How you love me Lord,
I can't explain,
I love you but my life isn't enough evidence Lord,
Be the centre of my life,
I want to love you as much as I did when I first received you oh Lord,
Awaken my zeal for your word,
Make me thirst for your presence Lord,
I'm empty without you,
I'm lost and I'm nothing Lord,
Jesus be in my heart,
Rekindle our relationship.
You're the only lover I have Lord,
Thank you for loving me despite my faults.
Dear Poet,
Use your work to let your soul out,
Let your works speak for your soul;how you're feeling and how you relate your feelings to life,
       This is a unique gift because everyone sees things differently,so your works are forever unique.
       Let nothing stop you,not even a writers block.and if you think you're experiencing a writers block in terms of poetry,you can actually write about a writers block.
      For a poet,there are no rules except one which is: write   you meaning write out your soul,
      Yours sincerely,
Just thought I'd write you a poem about you,
You must know I love you,
I appreciate you,
Even though sometimes I find myself lacking time for you,
I must say you deserve a poem for you,
I'm sorry for those times;
When I run out of rhymes,
And drop my pen,
Because I feel like I'm too un inspired and my writing will be in vain,
You're my sweet escape,
From your grip,there's no escape,
Only you my dear,knows how I process my thoughts to pages,
Against your contagiousness,well I hold no grudges.
In a nutshell,I love you.
My sincere apologies for being too quiet of late,been kinda busy,but hey guess we always have to find time for what we love.
Poem inspired by Keith Edward Baucum..yeah got inspired from his words "long time no read",so I just had to write.
Wellll thanks Keith!
Are you ok?
I'm not so sure,
Though you live in me.
I love you so much,
I wish I had courage enough to let you out,
Let you spread your wings and fly,
I wish to let you know that one of these days,
I will let you soar,
I will allow your strength and energy to take over and see where they take us;you and I..
  Yours sincerely,.
A short letter(poem) to my inner being..
Know who you are and let noone degrade you,
Don't let anyone define who you are,do it yourself,
Don't lower your standards to fit the standards of others because if someone loves you they'll definitely respect your standards and limits!
You deserve respect,respect yourself first to enable others to do the same,
Know your worth!if someone doesn't respect your values then its plain and simple,they don't love you,.
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."
Attachment harms,
Your heart, your mind, your peace.
No human belongs to you,
Anyone with a mind of their own can not be owned..
Detach from attachment,
For it breeds expectations that if unmet end up hurting.

Being different is more of a blessing,
Nothing close to a curse,
Its a gift,
Let it shine,
Its beautiful to be unique,
One of a kind,
Special,
Its great.
Human nature is so diverse it's beautiful,
Each day introduces you to a part of you that you never knew existed,
Do not throw that away.
Embrace who you are!!!
Forget the rules, the dos and the don'ts..
Explore this world
Explore who you are
You are much more than you know..
That one thing you wish to do but feel it's strange but it's really just human rules that make it strange? Do it!
Do not limit yourself by the rules whose making you did not participate in.
Be who you are, true to yourself.
They say the only thing you'll ever regret on your death bed is that one thing you didn't do. Never what you did..
So go ahead. Love yourself. Give yourself the love and satisfaction you deserve..
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.
Don't judge me by my weight;
Thin or fat,that's not my name,
Don't judge me by my skin colour,
Black or white,that's not my label,
Don't judge me by my height,
Tall or short,its my nature..       And I sure won't change that!
Don't judge me by my back ground;
Rough or smooth,rich or poor,
Its all behind
Don't judge me by my  dresscode;
Cheap or expensive,fancy or crapy,holy or slutty,
Its my body!..
Don't judge me..
Tired, worn out, lost, desperately trying to survive.. Dragging through life. You're not alone.
Everybody says we should keep the hopes high but don't they see that's the rope we've been holding onto and we're at the end?
We've held on so much it's cutting us,
Sometimes hope hurts.
Perhaps we should try faith.
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.
Dreamers recognise the art of hardwork,
Dreams without work are mere fantasies.
Achievement comes by work.
Work your dreams out!
No one else will.
Every dream hoped for,
Is worth chasing after...
Do not give up on your dreams,
Let them be the reason you wake up everyday,
Give them life by working towards them,
And give them a chance of coming alive by daring.
Dream dreams you're scared of dreaming,
Think thoughts you're scared of thinking,
Your head isn't transparent,
No one will see them,
Hold dear to your dreams ; big dreams,
As they live in your mind,
It begins to formulate ways to achieve them.
Good thoughts,especially those we usually think are too good to happen to us.
They scream so loud,I wonder how come most of us don't follow them.,
They are these voices which never stop,
They make you feel there's something you need to do,
They try to take you to the next level beyond mediocrity
But you shut them up by ignoring them,you sit on them and they get extinguished but they never die,you can always rekindle them..
I feel my dreams from within,
When I want to take hold of them,
They feel so far away,
Yet so close to my heart,
And the stars in the night sky always remind me that no matter how far something is,it can still brighten your life,
My dreams give me the drive to live,
And the hope to one day touch them;take hold of them and live in them.
Dream dreams,
Reality is harsh,but face it;
Everyone needs some hope,
Abash negativity!
Manage your fears.
See your dreams realised.
Smh
You catch them cheating,they tell you its not what you think and you believe it,
They abuse you,they beat you up and you decide to think that they are simply trying to show you their love,huh!!!!!are you kidding me??how's that love?
They tell you things like you can't make it,you're ugly and you agree with them,that's just wrong!
They tell you the only reason they are with you is because they simply pity you,come on!!,you can do better than a pity party.
We know love can make stupid but let's not shut our minds just because we've opened our hearts to love.
An artist creates art to speak.
The earth is art,
And all in it.

The stars in their right places,
Flowers well coloured,
The moon on point.

Its the greatest of all works of art
Filled with perfection,
And all stories in it.

Its speaks of nature,
And its beauty.
The wind is blowing tirelessly,
Delicate flowers are falling,
Branches are all shaking vigorously,
And I learn something from them,
No matter how hard the wind may blow,
They only move,
They don't change their shapes and colours,
The flowers may fall but at some point they allow the same wind to blow them into the sky and make them fly.
So I learn that situations shouldn't change who we are,
We only need to adjust our attitudes,
Struggles are there to make you a victor,
Like the flower being made to fly by what brought it down,
You let your struggles elevate you.
All things are possible perhaps including an ***/AIDS free generation?
Yeah I said perhaps; because,so far moral decay is at its peak,
So I wonder what chances the coming generation will have in eradicating ***/AIDS,
I mean we just do things without thinking of the upcoming people,
Young innocent children are infected and some of them aren't even told about it until they're too old;they end up living in denial hence messing up,
And everyone is affected..
What can we do??
Could love be of help?,
Maybe it can bind us enough to unite and do the right things selflessly thinking of the next person.
Love is the way.
Of course we no longer have colonial masters,
But clearly we're still enslaved
Enslaved by our own bodies,
Our souls cry out,
They yearn to do what's right;
That which will keep them at peace,
Until we decide to **** our own conscience,
The body has enslaved the real us;the soul,
And we are the reasons for that because we allow it.
And the only way out is self control..
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.
I envy anything that makes you smile,
I want to be it.
Pandemic - global catastrophe
Epidemic - local catastrophe
Endemic - normal catastrophe
Life can be crazy,
It's hard to drag yourself through it sometimes because you don't know why things are happening the way they are happening,
But to press on no matter what;is the ultimate win. To realise life itself is hope and to live hoping on the morrow.
Eventually things turn out fine,eventually we see the reasons why..
Do not give up,the bigger the challenge,the bigger the win. The bigger your struggles,the greater your victory!
The most perfect
eyes are those
of the mind.
Its an event,
It happens to all of us,
Its a great way to learn and never repeat a particular mistake.
When we fail,
The best we can do is analyse our failures,
Realise where we went wrong,
And start making corrections.
Failing gives chances of greater victory if you take it as its to be taken.
Failure happening to you doesn't make you a failure,
You can always try again and again and again and again until you breakthrough,
Just make sure what you're sweating for is worth it.
Don't let failure go to waste,learn from it.
Failing once or twice or three times or even more,doesn't make you a failure.
What makes you a failure is your own attitude;giving up and thinking you can't make it,
Now that,makes you a failure,.
Remember that winners never quit and quitters never win,
Its that simple and straight forward,,
No matter what you do,keep moving forward.
Afterall life goes on.
At some point,
We all need
To have faith
Like that of
A little child,
In order to take some steps.
Like falling and staying in love,
Chasing after a dream,
Taking chances,
Doing new stuff,
Taking risks.
Because a childs faith is pure, without doubt,nothing is thought of as impossible by a child.
I sure do envy that faith.
Sometimes
             faith
            is
         the
only cure.
Faith is believing before seeing,
Faith is hoping for the best on your last hope,
Faith is holding on even when you run out of rope,
Faith is persisting,
Knocking till something happens either the door opens or it breaks down,
Faith is fear in defeat!
Sometimes we wish we could choose,
Maybe because we don't seem to get along with the members or we simply hate the rules,
Well I'm sure this is no news,
But the thing is that the only way to love and enjoy family is through acceptance,
Accept them for who they are,show them your love now,not in rememberance,
Embrace them and always know that love works with perseverance.
Dad and Mum share the love that I envy so much,
Nothing separates them because God purposed their partnership,
My brothers;
They're best friends who are yet to tap into their deep friendship,
They never run out of conversations,
Their disses keep me awake!
My sisters;
They're to die for,
Wrapped in innocence and filled with love,
There's always brightness with them around,
Never a dull moment.
Then me,
I'm just the girl blessed with all the love and drama and care I need in a family.

There's an end to every year
Well this is it for you,
Everyday has been another,
Not to complain of.
Trust me,
Y*ou have taught me lessons.

Farewell I say,but to forget you
Isn't the plan
For me,I'd rather keep you,
Then look back at you for some
Experienced lessons,
Exciting it is to progress,happy
N*ew year!
Joined this awesome site this year,and its made a big difference in me,before joining hp I didn't even know my poems were worth reading,..big thanks to y'all for the reads,comments,likes,follows..I really appreciate.
And happy happy happy new year!! :)
You didn't just happen,
You were created,
You're incredibly beautiful/handsome even when plain,
Opinions shouldn't define you,
Define yourself,
You won't ever live here again,
So living based on peoples opinions will just wear you out for nothing.
Being lonely makes me feel like an alien,
I feel in need of a friend,
A friend to see daily,
Chat with and hangout with,
Someone I have a lot in common with,
Male or female I don't mind,
Honestly I'm not much of a loner;I prefer the company of people,
I love my family but I need a friend.
You don't have to "fit in"
Its boring!
Be who you want to be,
Its a free world please,
So what if someone doesn't like your clothes when you're actually comfortable in them?its their opinion.
Doesn't matter if your dreams sound too big for some ears,
They're yours.
Uhmmm yeah
Created by perfection,
Not from without but with great intention,
Physically,you're flawless.
From your toes to your face,
Upto the longest strand of your hair,
Believing this may be a great dare,
But its true,
Its true that the flaws flow from within you,
Not your body,physique or biological make up but the mind,
And to this notion;most of us are blind.
Accepting and loving yourself the way you are,
Makes you shine flawlessly like a star.
Flawlessness isn't in having no scars,or blemishes or birthmarks or whatever,its in accepting all those things and embracing them,if you'd like to change;do that but atleast accept them and embrace them(part of life).
By the way,I'm speaking of physical flawlessness..my own views,I really don't know about those of "society"(whoever makes up society "rules"/whoever "society" is) .
This is for all:men,women,girls,boys.
Thanks for reading!!!!! :) :*
The beauty of flaws is that they draw you closer to those real enough to love you.
Sometimes you lose your perceived perfection, to understand the imperfections you once condemned.
If flowers that dropped from trees could remain fresh and the exact color they dropped as,we wouldn't call them dirt.
We would call them "beautiful things that form a beautiful natural colorful carpet" and even wait for the season that they would fall again and again without ever ceasing to do so.
They're still beautiful
^_^
