Do what your heart desires,
Because at the end of your life, you'll be wondering why you tried so hard to please whom you were trying to please. Fulfillment is from within your heart.
"Follow your heart, " they say
But don't they know, it's too broken to take the lead?
How does one follow scattered, shattered pieces, they're all over the place, so where exactly should she follow..
Most of us love to follow trends!
More like we have no minds of our own..
   I'm talking of clothing trends,make up trends,etc
  As an artist,following too many trends;drains you of your creativity..
   If trends should exist,it should be your job to create them and not follow them..
  Your gift of art is unique,let it show..let it shine..
Trends aren't BAD,you just need to have your own choices and opinions.
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.
While sin enslaves,
Jesus Christ saves,
Why carry around the burdain,
When Christ is willing to carry it for you,for your own gain?
Look,we all fall short of His glory,
We cease to become holy,
But His redemption is always available,
Getting over sins guilt is hard,but its do-able,
Wipe clean your conscience with Christs love,
Not that you'll be as innocent as a dove,
But that your soul will be at peace.
God is a great and forgiving God,He's the reason for this piece.
Jesus Christ saves.
Jesus Christ loves us all no matter what,if He died before we even knew of Him,why doubt His love,He loves,forgives,redeems.Its never too late to love Him again.
Louden your laughter,

Unveil the dancer in you,

Hold you up like a bra does to *****,

Enlighten your burdens,

Shine light into your darkness.

That's what friends are for!
Friends don't always talk,
But like minds communicate.
Friends*  may  leave
But  its  great  to  still    ­  cherish  the  good  
times   shared  with  them

Not  all  are  here  to   stay ,
Some  only  have  a   short  role  to  play  in  
our   lives ;
Let  us  appreciate  
even
   those .
Here's a poem to my first love,
The everlasting love,
That which no one will ever afford to give me,
The love that covers my reality,

From dirt,you picked me,
From doom you rescued me,
How wonderful is your love,
Purity,innocence beyond that of a dove,
Genuine,beautiful..
To leave your throne,
I'd be a fool,
I am your own...
So hold me closer,
Closer than ever before,
So tight that no one will ****** me from your presence,
My Lord,my Saviour,my hope..
I love you,despite my sins I love you,I need your grace everyday..
Your love is extravagant,
Loving me so dearly when I'm only a servant,
Oh how marvelous.
Marvelous is your love oh Lord,
I will forever praise you Lord for you are king of all the earth,and for this purpose you created me.
A Poem straight from my heart to the heavens.
IF I WERE INVISIBLE..
I would make sure I strip all the mean people in public,
Scratch their backs,
Comb their hair,
Pull their ears,
Pinch their cheeks,
Slap them silly,
Spy on my crush,
Rob a bank. ;-)
Lol..
We work so hard and forget what
       matters the most,only to
              achieve what we
                  won't leave
                   this world
                       with.
                        Sad indeed.
Makes women feel useless,
And men defenseless
She feels she's to blame,
While he feels talking about it is such a shame,
How will they possibly free their minds from the pain,
If they don't talk about this act of disdain,
They'd love to,
But don't know how to,
Perhaps telling it to a good soul,
Willing to listen and provide good counsel,
And not forgetting to put behind bars the body that jailed your soul.
*Pensive*  | haven't been there but its something my mind can't escape because too many are directly affected.
Its wonderful when people know their gifts and embrace them,
When they use them,
And succeed by them,
Crown themselves kings and queens in that one field and give themselves a befitting name,
Bring greatness and not shame,
Yearn for a great impact,not just fame..
Realise that all are different and they don't have to be the same.
Make a difference,
Be THE point of good reference.
I give God the glory
For all my victory.
Because without God,its the end of my story.
Without goals,
Living is futile,
Where does life take you if you don't know where you're going?
Live like someone with a known destiny,
Work towards something,
Achieve it,
Give your life a purpose,
Strive to be an asset to the planet,never a liability,
You won't always win but you can always try again and again and again and again until you win,
Work towards what's upon your heart,that's what's worth living for.
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.
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.
When you let go and let God.
Stand on His word and trust He's making everything work out for your good.
Believe strongly that no matter what, life will turn out fine.
No matter the fire you face, He'll carry you through it all.
Godfident because i know I'm never alone,
Godfident because i know He lives in me.
Godfident because i know in him there is no shame.
Godfident because my life is in His hands.
Godfident because i know that with Him i can't fail.
I am Godfident. Not because I'm perfect but because God will never and has never left me.
I am Godfident.
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!
I believe in GOD
And I praise Him!
His greatness can not be understood.
No matter where life takes me my hope lies in Him alone.
I'm hopeless without His grace and mercies.
I thank Him daily because He's worthy of all the praise.
There's no one like Jesus Christ.
God is not a myth,
He's the truth,
It seems most think believing in God is denial of reality,
Lack of clarity,
Or even just low intellectuality,
Well is it?
So many events narrate to me the existence of a higher power,
Its not a thing I've not questioned,
I've questioned and questioned.....
And the answers I seek,
Are always beneath all the hearts;
Of the helpless souls who lick their sours of being judged for believing in Him;God
So I wonder;"what does it have to do with me? "
Am just a human being acting weird at times,...
I feel guilty for am straight mentally but all I see in the mirror is a man detrimentally,
Causing my inner self;harm,
Then I realise,
That its wiser to follow my hearts eyes,
For they confirm what my mind already knows but tries to argue against.,
Such is life.
Countless times,
You saved me.
Times i never realised i was in trouble,
You came to my rescue,
In times when i feel hopeless,
You strengthen my belief.
Life is no nice walk in the park,
But knowing i'm never alone,
I am comforted by your love and by your Grace..
I will forever thank you.
Your mercies are forever.
Your love is forever..
We think its our own strength or luck,but in the actual sense its grace.
Appreciate,embrace every smile and laugh you have,
For when they fade,you'll wish you had held on to them,
Do not let go of that which makes you a better person,
As for what degrades you as a human being;discard it!
In as much as things turn out sour sometimes,hold on to happiness.
Pure endless love,
Even when I'm unworthy of being called your own,
You still take my hand in yours.
Before my existence you lived,
All mighty and awesome but you adore me,
Who am I??
What makes me worthy?
Just your love shown upon the cross,
That's what makes me worthy of your love.
Be grateful for all you have be it a friend,family,.gadgets,food, water,power,oxygen,beliefs, shelter,aptitude,talent,kindness, body parts,character etc..above all your life,the fact that you're breathing,give thanks for that because so many lack but still remain thankful,so many live but still too many have died.
Be thankful,it pays.
We know that energy can't be created or destroyed,
Apply that science to the existence of a mighty force,
No beginning,no ending,
Just there,
That's why we worship Him,He's too great to be fathomed,
He created the heavens and the earth by His word,
How great is our God.
No one is born great,
Its not even a matter of fate,
Greatness is a chosen route,
A seed to plant,that eventually bears fruit.
No blood is royal,
Anyone can be queen or king,
All that's needed is toil!
With just a little more effort and believing.
Many take dreams as folly,
But the wise understand that dreams do bring glory,
They don't become reality from without,
They become reality from action,and lack of doubt.
Believe once,
And watch where that takes you;you won't bounce.
Your greatness surpasses all human understanding,
Your love moves beyond the longest of distances
And your forgiveness goes deeper than the ocean floor,
As time goes by we realise that only a few things matter in life. We realise that being liked by everyone is not possible so its not something to take as an ambition,we come to learn that trends are just trends.  And that self love is not selfishness,
Its something we all deserve.
Growing up is not easy,
Starting to see things as they really are,
Knowing life gets messy,
No longer wishing upon any star,
Growing up is not easy,
Thoughts take a new turn,
There's so much to learn,
Its exciting as well as scary,
At times it all goes well,other times fiery,
But its a step worth taking,
Living requires changing.
And growth is change, though change isn't always progress
Its a worthwhile process.
Hope

Sometimes they only thing you'll  need to survive is hope,
Even when your standards seem to drop,
You can always cope,
All you need is hope..

Hope that things will get better,
Hope that your bank account will one day get fatter,
Hope enough to make you smarter
As you wait
And realise that time is always perfect,its never too late.

Happiness isn't found in alcohol,
Its not found in drugs,
Its not found in ***,
Its not found in anger,
Its not found in tantrums,
Neither is it found in bad moods,
Happiness is only found within,
Only you can decide to be happy,
It all begins from within you,
Its a choice,choose it!
Realise all the benefits of happiness;you live a healthier life,more energised and vibrant and more fulfilling,
The search for happiness elsewhere  apart from you inner being is infact in vain,.
Nothing can make you happy if your inner state isn't made up to be happy
Being happy,
Doesn't mean all is well,
It means you are grateful for all you have and for your life,
Its all that counts,
Its easier to be happy;the moment you stop comparing yourself to others.
Have the heart to
   Accept
      People for them,                
         Pardon peoples mistakes,
            Your own too.
- "Accept people for them",as in accept people for who they really are.
I'm happy!
Not because everythings fine but because I'm alive,
And life itself is hope enough!
I'm happy because its a new day,
I'm happy because I'm able to write
I'm happy because I know people who love me
I'm happy because life spent upset is wasted,
I'm happy because no matter what happens to me,time brings all things to pass and life goes on.
So many reasons to be happy,you only need to count your joy and you'll realise that the good things are more than the bad.
I am happy because I know someone loves me,
I am happy because I know that life is not all about material things,
And I'm so **** happy because I have a unique talent of art which draws inspiration from the heart
I'm happy because life brings hope,
I am happy because failure is always a lesson
I am happy because all my real friends will never leave me,
I am happy because,in this life;I choose my path,
I am happy because nature has no favorites,we're all equal..
I am happy because life is an adventure,
I am happy because life is a journey and not a race,
I'm happy because life is not about fame or popularity,but fulfillment..
I'm happy because,if I count my blessings;there are so many things to be happy about..
In my eyes its got the most unique map,
At the moment,it seems development has taken a nap.
But in the actual sense it has not,
Some day,it shall show up perhaps as fast as a lightning bolt.
Anyway that isn't really noticeable,
Because of the positive minded people,
Ever friendly,
Over here,its ones choice to be lonely,
No ocean but we own a beach,
Yes I wonder how too,we're blessed..Quite rich,
I love my country.
Hard times strengthen,
They form wisdom
And power.

They stretch the mind,
Renew thinking,
And Toughen.

Appreciating them isn't easy
Until they come to pass
And their reasons
Are realised.
Knowing exactly what you want is motivation enough.
Hatred hurts,
It hurts the hater.
It makes you feel they deserve it,
But do you deserve it?
Do you deserve to be killing yourself slowly?
Hatred steals,
It steals your joy,
It takes healing far from you,
Hatred betrays you,
It makes you think it's there for you,
It comforts you,
But guess what? It's deception.
Hatred is in no way close to revenge,
To let go of hatred is the ultimate win.
To hate is to lose,
You lose your peace of mind,
Allowing the people you don't want in your life to live in your head,
Is far worse than dropping the pride and letting go.


LOVE YOURSELF ENOUGH TO NOT ALLOW HATRED RULE YOU.
When the world gets too cold,
Crawl into my heart,
        It's warm enough.
Hearts don't break instantly,
They break gradually.
We see the signs and brush them off. We only want to see the best and we do. When your heart breaks, dots are connected.
Breaking hearts that love you, for that one heart you just couldn't wait to have. And questioning whether it's worth it.. Or if karma will catch up with you.
The heart of art,has eyes..
The heart of art has extraordinary creativity,
The heart of art has strength beyond what people see,
The heart of art draws strength from creation,
The heart of art finds inspiration from all situations
The heart of art never gives up,
The heart of art never runs out of words to put up,
The heart of art builds,encourages and inspires,
The heart of art is beautiful...
So many words to describe the hearts of art..
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.
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.
Because there is peace in solitude.
Don't
place high
hopes on low grounds.
High hopes must be connected to high grounds(reasonable basis),
Eg, if one wants to become rich but doesn't work hard enough and still hopes to become rich,that's an example of placing high hopes on low grounds..coz the chances of winning the lotto jackpot are pretty slim(sadly)
Build a solid ground for your hopes,
Also if one is in "darkness" today,hope needs to be placed on a high ground even just in the future itself and life itself and faith.
life = hope
