"encourages" poems
Being an actor or actress Doesn't mean you are on broadway, Or a star of a hit reality TV show. Being an actor or actress Means you step onto the stage And give it your all. You accept the spotlight Not as a blinding piece of equipment, But as a sun shining on you, Bringing you to life. When you hear the term Break a leg You form a grin, Knowing it's not literal. When the laughter Of a crowd on opening night Encourages you and gives you hope. Being an actor or actress Isn't about the flowers Or the repetitive good jobs after a show. Being an actor or actress Is about the butterflies you get Before you go on stage. It's about the energy you feel When you and your cast Do something spectacular On stage. Being an actor or actress Is an outlet from the real world. It allows you to step onto stage And forget about the boy Who broke your heart, Or the money struggles, Or the bombs going off In other countries. It allows you to step into A new and exciting universe, Where nothing else matters except, Being an actor or actress.

Leave me alone, I will prove them wrong. In the absence of the best, I am the best. I am the last resort, in the worst I am the best. Leave me alone, I will prove them wrong. Leave me alone, it will not take so long. I will not sleep, I am the best in the absence of the rest; I will not sleep, nightmares encourages me to do the best. Turn on that music and go, I will prove them wrong. Extrovert dude when you are with an introvert say the deal and go. Extrovert dude, introvert creativity is on the darkness. Introvert dude let us in, do not keep the door locked. Some say together we work, introvert says yes but go. Staying together is not team work, sorry for leaving you in the darkness. Introvert dude turn on that music, it’s time to keep my senses locked. Written By: The Senior 5/08/2020

Introvert
What truly is the definition of righteousness? Is it determined by act or by mind? They say a good man fights for justice, peace, and prosperity. But then, can a man of such moral truly remain so if he turns to violence as an answer? Does his intent to create marvels render him of moral status though his methods may empower death and promote war? Oh, this man is peaceful himself, taking letters instead of bullets to battle but his lyrics dislodge society in a manner not all approve and so begins combat. Can this soul carry such holy title, if the repercussions of his strung together words are strung up necks? Or is the good man the one who turns away from the world's fight to be his own embodiment of ethical beauty? For the one who remains silent causes no direct pain; he himself is passive and tranquil and moves to inspire such conduct in others without commanding it. But his silence encourages fierce vehemency and wildness. Does this fact not taint his name? The first man had pure intent, but with his tongue he spit sparks which others used to ignite a fire and burn the world. The second did not fight himself but his chosen hush could never end the blood rain, and so his lack of sharp verbosity allowed knives to flash and blood to spill. So I will ask again, what determines morality? Though this time with a grounding response; morals define morality. Each man's mind renders his own flawless ideal individually, and so one's perfection will always be another's monstrosity. In truth? There are no good men, or at least not one to all.

You are the king, *That catches his queen, When she fall,* *Encourages and inspires her, When she's dejected,* *Pick and carry her, When she stumble down,* *Wipe her tears, When she cry,* *Comforts her, When she feels unworthy to be loved,* *Sings for her, When she's lonesome,* **And will give her all pure love and loyalty, That the king could ever ever give, More than the queen could ever ever imagine.** The queen will be just the happiest, And will give the king, All the love he needed, All the care, All the attention he needed, All the time, All the effort, All true loyalty, She will give everything just for her king...                               'Cause that's what love is right? The queen will just give him the best thing, The unconditional and unfeigned love.                    © Earl Jane                              ♥ E.J.C.S.

King and Queen's Unconditional love
There is a man who loves me I didn't know him But still, he loves me I pushed him away from me But he's still here and he loves me I didn't even believe what he's saying But he encourages me and he loves me I mocked him and judged him But he looks at me with love for he does I didn't listen him and wandered off But he's still guiding me because he loves me I didn't talk to him and I ignored him But he's still waiting for me because he loves me I lied, I cursed, I got angry, I sinned Despite all that, he loves me still I turned my back against him But he still got my back because he loves me I'm selfish, hot-tempered, proud and stubborn But he still cares for me because he loves me I ignored him, ignored him and ignored him But he's always there for me because he loves me So I asked... *Who is this man who loves me? Who is this man who loves me inspite of and despite? Who is this man who loves me still?* And I got a reply... *He is the man who died for love The man who lived to die for you The man who died for his love for you.* Then he asked me back... Where else can you get a love like this? You aren't worthy of his love, but he still gave it to you. Isn't he worthy enough to be loved back? Won't you love him back? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ... . . Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. . . ....

He who loves me
If someone, you trusted the most betrays you. People blame you for trusting him "Blindly" and also quote "Trust No One". But have you ever seen anyone pointing their fingers at the person who betrayed you, looking him in the eye and asked him why would he do that to you or how dare he betray you or anyone? No! right? I feel, the people, the society encourages this betrayal and the betrayers. If anything such happens around you, stop giving free pieces of advice and stop backing him(the betrayer) up. You better warn the betrayer not to betray anyone and also quote "BETRAY NO ONE" What kinda foolish statement is "Trust no one"? How can you not trust anyone? So everything you do is just drama! Acting like you trust him/her, that's where these betrayers come from. They are you, who sit silently when betrayal happens You got to trust! Nothing works without trust! Why is it, not trusting anyone even an option? Let's say let's "BETRAY NO ONE"

Optimistic
The perfectionist loves to hear his voice, He is the respected critic inside, He is the learned one, The educated and the educator. A beautiful constructor, The finishing touch To the artist's hand. The voice is always a partner, He will always be there to help The artist, comfort is taken in his ability. The artist needn't forget, There are many voices on the side, Awaiting for their time to speak, Each one has its time, All varying in their patience and duration. The artist sees what he hasn't before: The voice of support; the voice of love; the voice of decision; and the voice of passion. There is always time to contemplate his flaws And he wants to reassure himself: Perfection is not a demand, but a quest, One of beauty and one of joy. Perfection is the beauty in imperfection. The pursuit of achievement is one to relish, it is not to be rushed or Ceased, it is a running walk, a walking run, a sitting stand, a moving still. It is every step he has made. The artist looks behind and sees His effort, he is proud to have experienced His triumphs and his trauma The voice of comfort will be there all the way, She is a gentle quieter spirit that deserves as much an ear. When all voices have calmed and subsided, Her tenderness remains. I remind the artist of his friends, I remind him that the critical voice is the voice of nature, The physical laws unchanged. He is the driving force to stasis and movement in the age worry and indecision. "Do not be overwhelmed" I say to the artist, You are one of many. You are with friends. The voice of change encourages the artist to evolve and to smile, The voice of happiness allows peaceful living and awareness. The tiger belongs to nature, not to be feared, but to be respected and understood. Do not despair, do not relinquish hope, Hope is the shining beacon in a world of anguish. Hope is the angel shining her torch ever so bright. Hope is the window that allows pain and suffering to see the light of day , Hope allows oneness. The artist moves his brush: an effortless stroke, A flicker of joy, A tear in his eye. He once was old, Now is young. He learns to enjoy The work he has done, He can now enjoy the work he does, He is enjoying the work he is doing. He enjoys his life. The state of mind, it is a fickle hatchling. Able to be pursued and persuaded, also able to be liberated. The artist is free, His thoughts can pass, His fear will subside, His body can move, His heart will follow And the mind will allow. Spirit be set free, Bird do fly, Artist do paint, You, You are. Peace within oneself is peace with others. The artist is brave, he is a soul that stands tall in the face of adversity, He is a sleepless enigma in his room at night, He is the passionate one, The artist and his love affair with the critic outshines his charisma, The love for the sophisticated darkness, His love for the melodrama, His quest for knowledge, Perhaps the only knowledge is Ignorance. Blissful unawareness.

Love doesn't aim to control or curb or force...rather it encourages, supports and persuades..if it does the former...then it isn't and cannot be love.

Have you ever been under the influence so long That when you are forced to stop To come up for air Everything feels Unfamiliar? Sobriety chokes you Traps you Makes your heart race Like a Chinese finger trap You voluntarily entered into, But now feel as though you might not escape. The sober life is what you strive for Long for Dream of Everyone around you encourages, You can do it One day at a time They say Attempting to motivate Inspire Help But these are all lies A mere hour of sobriety is too much to handle It suffocates Makes my hands shake And my mind go crazy DRINKDRINKDRINKDRINKDRINKINEEDAFUCKINGDRINKNOWGODPLEASE This phrase repeats itself, Over and over No matter how many times you tell yourself ICANDOTHIS You know It’s only another lie in the endless stream of pathetic, useless encouragement You have created for yourself. And after you say this, ICANDOTHIS You laugh Knowing that it is absolutely UNTRUE And always will be How can you embrace sobriety When the bottle calls from its hiding place The place you hid it From your lover, family, friends Pretending you function Just like all of them Waking up Going about your life Without panicking about when the next drink will be When the drinks you need Will **** you If anyone will even notice Or care. Probably not, Why should they, Do you? You never have. Your life is an endless series of drinks and lies, and more drinks And more lies. You are nothing. An empty cup Waiting to be filled with the substance that will distract you from living And then take your worthless life in the end. Alcoholic Forever Unfixable. Stop wasting our time.

I feel like he was created just for me. I think im holding hands with Destiny. He Encourages me to be The Woman The Father has presdestined me to be. Hes like a dream given unto me. He sees straight thru me like he can hear my thoughts telephatically. Got me fiening for him like jodeci Plunging into the depths of his soul's love as I enjoy The journey of his story.... Hes The Instructor of love and Im the student thinking critically. He has left An impact on my life tremedously..... Im drowning in his love ever so endlessly. He is Waves from the oceans currents of pure bliss And I......I am his ocean shore that his waters of love kiss. He's like a precious treaure I have discovered. Unlocking the chest to look inside and see what I have uncovered. Im happy for what I have found Hes A King worthy of Sparkling crown. I wish I could wear his love Like a White Flowing Wedding Gown. I feel he completes me like a sentence Yah is the subject, He's the predicate and im the noun. With his words he painted a vivid picture of me Its a picture with definition, depth, and clarity. Its almost like he captured every little detail so Carefully. As if I were an image of an angel made so Heavenly. Apparently, In his eyes Im a portrait crafted very delicately. A beauty constructed with integrity. Sparkling like the waters of the deep blue sea. To Be held in The Artistic nature of his Creativity Is a Wonderful sight to see With his poetry I see The illustration of his spiritual Imagery I caressed the Compassion of his vibes that discerned The ambience of his Frequency. His Energy Sweetly Speaks so pleasntly His Diction shows me his style Musically. His wisdom shows the level of his Maturity And it makes me drawn to him as if Its a force was pulling me closer into his gravity Ill admit this experience is kind of scary But My lovely Beautiful Mahogany theres no place I rather be than with you standing by my side next to me. Feeling as if I am Soaring like a bird so Free. He Surely bring out the Best characteristics of me. I Believe Im Subconsciously holding hands with destiny #destiny #serendipity #Love #beauty

What if I were president? What party, what values would I hold? If I were president would I be humble, honest, and bold? When I talk about greater justice for immigrants, I'm a Democrat. When I speak out against abortion, I'm a Republican. When I talk about racism and racial inequality, I'm a Democrat. When I mention small, localized government, I'm a Republican. When I support the common good and solidarity, I'm a Democrat When I say the family should be strengthened, I'm a Republican. When I speak up against the death penalty, I'm a Democrat. When I refuse to fund contraception, I'm a Republican. So, where does this leave me? You have to pick right? Well in some ways I'm both, and in some ways neither. You see, if I pick Democrat I'm going against my Republican values And the same is true of my Democrat values if i decide Republican. If I were the president I'd work for peace, love, truth, understanding I would work to build bridges between the peoples and the nations Walls and fences do not, the best neighbors, make. I won't convince you with anything I say, but if I do my best to live and To reflect love, to give hope, to find joy maybe you'll want it too To lift up the lowly, help others help themselves, to forgive and to love That's some of what I hope to do. In truth, I'm a member of an institution that teaches that freedom is when a person no longer acts under the influence of someone else. An institution that encourages free will and free thought. An institution that doesn't fit inside a man-made box. This is being true to myself, this is who I am. I'm Catholic

Whose job is it to make sure our kids are educated properly. The parents are putting all the blame solely on me. I was always told that a parent is a child's first teacher. Although, you want to place the blame on the public school system and teachers. Why doesn't he know how to read and tie his shoe? But....he can unlock different levels that were unknown to you. Nintendo's Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360 are more important to you and your children....not a lesson sent home from me. He can count to 25.....although he doesn't recognize the numbers when he sees them. Parents continue to say that I don't teach enough and I don't know what I'm doing. My response is this.....some of you ruin the children. You want to be their friend and dress them in name brand clothes and sneaks. Meanwhile....he doesn't recognize the seven days that create the week. I asked him to read and he became upset and pushed his book on the floor. He used inappropriate language and said "I don't want to be in this class anymore! He's in seventh grade and reads on a first grade level. So....my question is this.....is it my fault or the teachers who came before? That he's not on grade level when he enters my door. Homework rarely comes back when I send it home.....although he has a new iPod and an iPhone. The interNet and social media.....has a strong hold on our youth. The sad thing about this is......people won't admit that this has a hint of truth. It still takes a village to raise a child....but things are not the way they used to be.....and you can't tell people about the children that live under the same roof. We need to go back to the core principals of teaching our children. Teaching begins at home. That's where I first learned....to read and to write. A little discipline never hurt anyone....it encourages them to learn and to do things right. My question to you and it's open for discussion ...... Whose job is it ?

Parents continue to say that I don't teach enough and I don't know what I'm doing. My response is this.....some of you ruin the children. You want to be their friend and dress them in name brand clothes and sneaks. Meanwhile....he doesn't recognize the seven days that create the week. I asked him to read and he became upset and pushed his book on the floor. He used inappropriate language and said "I don't want to be in this class anymore! He's in seventh grade and reads on a first grade level. So....my question is this.....is it my fault or the teachers who came before? That he's not on grade level when he enters my door. Homework rarely comes back when I send it home.....although he has a new iPod and an iPhone. The interNet and social media.....has a strong hold on our youth. The sad thing about this is......people won't admit that this has a hint of truth. It still takes a village to raise a child....but things are not the way they used to be.....and you can't tell people about the children that live under the same roof. We need to go back to the core principals of teaching our children. Teaching begins at home. That's where I first learned....to read and to write. A little discipline never hurt anyone....it encourages them to learn and to do things right. My question to you and it's open for discussion ...... Whose job is it ?

For my Enchanted Woodland Fairy Who is so very sweet She always encourages me With the sweetest of words She loves me and I her She has little fluttering wings And she has a crown of rosebuds Sitting upon her pretty hair Today is my Fairy's Birthday She will eat the most sweetest cake And drink the most wonderful honeysuckle dew With her lips of cherry She kisses the flowers sweet She weaves the most prettiest gowns For the other little Fairy folk Who use those gowns to dance in Under the Enchanting Moonlight That dances through my bedroom at Night She is a sweet Fairy with a pretty Face Her has the prettiest ringlets That I ever did see She dances through the rain and through the snow And yes, you've guessed it Her name is Adreishka Moonlight Luciano ~Marian~

For My Enchanted Woodland Fairy
However this Stag Tradition breathes thus far Which works in all cases of Merriment That Ring is no Joke; And Youth points a Star To where your Heart will land in Sentiment He only Encourages, Dreams and Promotes As no Singer sang such Octave before Mark him Stranger; Not a Contest he connotes To challenge what had been Promised once more Such tell, that Woolen Strings are Postulate, A Theory already penned into Law That Fixed Hearts are veined in Mutual Rebate And Cupid signs both your names into Straw. Go to Her. She has sung Poems better Written This Bard resigns; Knowing he was Beaten.

SONNET TRIBUTE SUNDRY - SIXTY-FOUR - TOM DALEY
The perfect woman is beautiful, of course but not too beautiful, ( enough to be objectify-able but not so much as to be threatening) The perfect woman has a voice and a mind ( that she wisely decides to leave behind) The perfect woman should never be heard ( unless she becomes a part of the herd) The perfect woman Is benign and blind ( to everyone's faults except her own, which also, btw, she ought to make known, or god forbid, she'll be harkened a ***** How rude.....) The perfect woman Is coy and shy (changing her demeanor for a girl or a guy) The perfect woman Does nothing wrong (yeah right) (and still doesn't get why she can't belong) The perfect woman Knows her salad forks and plates She encourages, she nourishes She creates, (she waits, she waits , she waits) The perfect woman is an overachiever (but readily labeled to be a deceiver) The perfect woman doesn't age doesn't dream or rebel Oh no, dear no.... none of that outrage The perfect woman can be a nymph and a nun (knows how to not show that she knows what is fun) The perfect woman, is curvy but thin each angle defined each strand refined with a dazzling smile and a glowing skin (no matter how she gets it It's that she gets it, she gets it.) The perfect woman Is strong and composed But when she's patronized She doesn't resist... She carries her grace on her well turned calf and a delicate wrist Till it's proper and unopposed The perfect woman is cruel to her daughter and kind to her son ( as she knows what it means to be a woman even if she forgets that she's also one...) The perfect woman doesn't want to be free you see, it's simple She's come to terms with the very concept That it's her destiny Sigh. Let's say this, let's try.... Here's the gist The perfect woman is either every woman or she doesn't exist.

Pieces of our past. Wondering how we will Patchwork them back together, in the days of the weeks, the months of the years ahead... as you disguise yourself, on benches, in corners, alleys. Hidden in woods, underpasses of freeways. Tents, cars of strangers. Filthy trap houses. You disappear, to find comfort in the only place left to heal. The Deep Depths of Sleep. Oh how I worry about you my love. You suffer so for this journey   you have embarked on... Oh, how I hurt for you, yearn for you, love for you and cry for you. Your pain so deep keeps you away, to dwell in the terrifying place that encourages the need to Self implode.. Obliterate all ability to feel. Even the true sense of Belonging Of being unconditionally loved.

I Save...
I read a story today. Like any good story it was layered upon the premise of the love between two perfect strangers. Like any good story it was about romance that blossomed... and then flourished as quick as it was fierce. Like any good story it spun a far-reaching web of hope and longing whilst still holding on to the uncompromising nature of responsibility to one's dreams. Like any good story, there was a spot of intimacy. The gradual build up of physical and psychological attraction that culminated in the merging of two, was nothing less than tasteful. Like any good story there was conflict. But it was not the cliched garnish that involved oppressive parenting styles nor glaring racial differences. It did not rope in the overused notion of "we're so different, we're two parts of a whole". It was... a beautiful conflict. One that does not allow the audience to choose sides. In fact, it encourages you to think inward and root for both parties - be them together or apart. If anything at all, it boils down to the pursuit of each individual's happiness. Like any good modern day story, it ended with a breath held in a gasp. You hold it there for the longest moment and you have to close that breath with a heavy sigh of loss. It also leaves you with ample room to deliberate the "what if" factor. Happy endings last a while but sad ones... they rip a hole in you that almost never closes... and you cannot help but go back to read it over and over again in the hopes of finding the elusive right answer or the best alternate ending. Like any good story it was tailored in my fit. Because I envisioned myself in it. I got consumed by it. Overwhelmed by it, enough to almost break the pipes. And like any good story, it's worth keeping... In heart and in mind. So I read a story today. And I didn't want it to end.

See this heart encased by imperfect skin It masks the beauty that is locked within Because society has no eyes to look inside At the beauty that commercials hide We see perfection as an image to high That we fight to make ourselves try to be something that will never make sense In this sad world that encourages this We hear names screamed out at us to morph us into something, while society laughs at us It's telling us if we fit the role then maybe you'll be considered full They tell you to be yourself then list out what to change And if your opinions are different you're suddenly strange If you don't look or act or live a certain way Then you're automatically cast out and shamed Hold your head up high and press on Because I won't be conformed to a society That's hiding me Because I'm not who they say I should be

Labeled By Society
My own person is healthy and courageous. My own person is self-aware and emotionally intelligent. He is growth-oriented, resourceful and positive. My own person is supportive, thoughtful, kind and empathetic. My own person is ready to take accountability, communicate and work through things even when the going gets rough. My own person desires to make me happy, chooses me and shows up for me. He is sure about me and healthily obsessed with me. My own person encourages and lifts me up when I’m at a low point. My own person does not disappear when I need him. My own person protects me. He knows how to introspect, reflect and has a desire to be better. My own person does not make me feel small or irrelevant. My own person is a secure place where I can feel at home. My own person is expressive. He is a source of light when I am in a dark place. My own person is as sure about me as the sun rises and sets without our asking, with certainty; regardless of the weather, timezone or location.

My Own Person
Empathy is a disease. It's a mirror that you  always look into. It is the situation that you are inherently bound to. Empathy is asking for spare change on the corner of a street. Empathy keeps you dedicated Like a nun in it for the pearly gates. It stamps a scar on your heart that can turn to hate. Empathy is the cheapest coffin in the whole place. Empathy encourages that charitable sorrow That plagues the psyche with a bittersweet notion Of unbearable understanding and sympathy. Empathy is all alone, drinking wine and watching WWIII on the t. v.
