When do you stop forgiving disappointment after disappointment?
When is love not enough?
I keep wondering will I turn into a women at old age continuing to be disappointed over and over?
What if im expecting too much or being too needy?
Am I too ambitious?
Should i be with someone of equal goals?
Will i become the bread winner and resent my partner for doing nothing?
Can I depend on him?
When is it enough to leave the love and find someone you can depend on, and feel equal too?
Is the love enough to stay?
What if this version of love is the only version I have known and there is a much better one far out there?
What if this is the best it gets?
What if there is something wrong with me?
When is it enough to let my doubts consume me
When is it enough?

For me it never had a starting point or an ending point

I just knew it had to be given
You were the chosen

I showed it by never forgetting where we were going

Goals set, in midnight conversations, early morning calls, late night walks

Never asked you to be loyal
Always talked about keeping it real
It’s like the scene never ended and you kept the reel
Never needed lights to show the actions
No amount of cameras could capture the excellence of your presence
You never left even when you were given the evidence

To you my loyalty has no expiration
Your heart is it’s intended destination

Cut away from all the bad vibes
Walking solo free of burden
Starting new away from the wicked
Over toxic people knocking others down
Negative behavior rewarded for evil deeds
Lots of change for the better
Personal growth self improvement
Mental and physical development
Awareness with goals over delays
Set personal achievement self rewarding
The world we live in
Is about going out there
And show people what you could do
For yourself.
It’s like getting a job.
The job doesn’t come to you.
You have to go and get yourself.
To achieve your goals
You got to put yourself in the front door.
Remember always have Confidence in Yourself.
Only you could do it.
Nobody else could do it for you.

Last night was
the last date
of the year.
Today is a
perfect morning and
a good time
for celebrations.
The dawn of
a new year
just emerged.
This is a time to
count our blessings
and give thanks
with a grateful heart.
Good time for reflection.
Looking back at
the achievements,
failure and success,
strength and support
which built our
families and relationships,
businesses and lives.
The time to
drop excess
baggage and luggage
we have carried
throughout the year.
Time to rewrite
the blueprint on
the canvas of life,
set up a
new roadmap,
and have new
goals and aspirations.
A time to
discard the old
and embrace the new.
Time to be
courageous and bold
enough to take
a stand on
new belief system
and embrace a
new hobby and
new arrangements
and another chance
of new beginnings.
To look at
things a little
bit more different
with profound
understanding of the
principle back of things.
Step into this
new phase of
the new year,
the new dawn,
the new beginning
of another chance
to be better
with a grateful heart
and so much love
to be the best
that you can be.

I see myself happy.
Healed from all the pain of the past.
Accepted.
Free.

I see me in a mutually beneficial relationship

A relationship built on love, honor, and commitment
Where trust and loyalty are non-negotiable
Where it's OK to set separate goals as long we reach them TOGETHER
Where the emotions and opinions of others hold no weight

I see us buying a home.
Raising a family.
Starting a few businesses.
Living comfortably.

I see me at peace.
Whole.
Confident.
Balanced.

The problem with virtual reality is that you're wide awake and it's literally right in front of you...
But it's not really there

Wouldn't it be nice....
If the reality of our own virtual mind would finally be released into the world?
The end is the beginning and the process is the way, which “should” be enjoyed and cherished, every single day. Disregard all the doubt, that takes up all your time.
Nothing is for certain, so open up your mind. Seek out and find your purpose, be diligent and true. Never feel discouraged, by becoming more immune. You know yourself much better, than anyone you know. People will try to bring you down, but you’ve got to let it go. Focus on your goals instead, let nothing steer you away. Never wait until tomorrow, what you can do today.

He wears
a dull faced
indifference.

Thinks I am
a dim wit,
because
I do not
pursue
the same
worthless
*******.

Brown eye,
brown hair,
well-trimmed
small beard,
love his
gold rush
reality
tv
show.

His goals,
are a product
of a limited
mindset,
rectangular vision,
in an oval like
world.

No mind expanding
conversation,
just me
patiently waiting
for him to dislodge
his slack jawed
visage
from those
cellphone images.

Nothing ever last forever, best
of life's treasures, have a way in
disappearing some way or another
maybe just a blink of the eye, or a
day dream controlling your logic.

The things you don't care about,
last forever, they have a way to
fervently stay around irritating
and never leaving.

Thinking positive is the best of
medicine, causing no confusion, no
thoughts of anger, no dangerous
images, focusing in the mind that
is negative.

Everything we have, lost, or won
are many of our dreams of reality
or broken ambitions, that just seemed
to have disappeared in our own thoughts
and imaginations.

Everything we ever had, loved, appears
to float away, with so much sacrifice to
achieved the goals of that impossible
dream, held it, watch it fly away without
a second glance, how we thought we
could accomplished this task we wanted
so sweet, turning bitter sweet in the end
of to much clutter and disconnection.

We take much bad with the good
but sometimes it only hurts so much
having that something you loved and
lost like a snap of your finger, leaving
those dead leaves of autumn blowing
in memories of once upon a time.

The rose is always beautiful
when it first opens, but after
the pedals start to fall, it is
throw away, this is the way
life is, you live it when it is
beautiful, taking everything
for granted till one day, all that
you loved, just turn away from
your torn thoughts, and you left
all familiar surroundings, dreams
behind without a tear.

Breathe in the sweetness,
live to the fullest, you'll find
that the most important things
never disappear, only hide
away till there ready to be
appreciated..

""Umm, as far as supportive
He would have to support me financially"
"Umm, I like a man that has money (hahaha)
Umm, that has goals in life..."

It's night but I can't stay asleep
Like you do, straight through till morning
When you pour my coffee and say, "Baby
All that caffeine causes bad dreams
Where all your anxiety is unleashed"

Well, lately my days aren't much better
Can't concentrate when I'm at work
I just think and think until my head hurts
Of the payment plans I'm making
I just wanted to provide for you

But if you wanna make a run for it
My love, I'd cover you
And if you need money for bills
My lover, I could cover you

'Cause I sold some ****, I'm saving up
We can get that house next to the park
I'll get more hours at my dad's shop
Yeah, we'll plan for everything
And we'll enroll in that middle class
Get a compact car full of discount tags
If you're feeling trapped or too attached
Remember we wanted that

But if you need money for bills this month
My love, I'd cover you
And if you have to lie to everyone
Well, I'd cover up for you

'Cause we're growing older, growing up
Just like our parents before us
With your new job at the coffee shop
We're ready for anything
And we'll graduate that middle class
Get a nicer car full of shopping bags
If you're feeling sad, kind of detached
Remember we wanted that
Remember we wanted that
Remember that we wanted it
Yeah, remember

'Cause I sold some ****, I'm saving up
We can get that house next to the park
With the extra hours I picked up
We will pay for everything"
"Remember that we wanted this!"

I am in need of a routine,
A habit to keep me disciplined,
To maintain my goals on track,
To make my joy productive,
To put into the world
Everything I think
I can do to make it good.

Relentlessly I fight
This urge to reach greatness,
I feed the monster father of procrastination
Delaying laurels and rejection
For an inexplicable fear.

I need a routine
To allow me mediocrity,
And the immediate consequence of evolution.

I need to act,
More and more,
Frequently,
Carelessly,
Intentionally.

Act is the inevitable movement
That accompanies the one-way arrow of time.

She said, promote me.
I am your biggest cheerleader.

She said, love me.
And went further in stating I never find another like me.
This is the confidence within her.
Besides she knows me.

She said I must believe.
To succeed you must have confidence from within.
For that's where all creation begins?
Especially, if you are an artist.

She said to set goals.
And then shoot for the stars.
But also keep GOD within your heart.

I said Amen.
God gifted me a great woman.

Been working strong got another month and half on this assignment. I've grown and learned so much. It's hard to leave I get close to people even though I can be antisocial some allow you to know them while others keep you distant. Being a sub you work hard to be full-time most of the time you get bounced around. I've met so many good people and wonder where I'll end up worked different departments trying to find my place a fit where I belong. I'm in a good place let go of so many things. I wished some people would comeback but it's best I let them go since they don't care to be around. I'm letting go of those tough moments in my head thinking how this happened or how I could've prevented it. The moment has passed getting my head out of work always focused on making it happen or getting it done. Never appreciated what's going on around me. A late bloomer made mistakes learned from them, failed but still trying to achieve my goals. I'm enjoying the blessings that come my way. Thankful to be in a better place I'm not saying next year is my year but I take one day at a time some are great while others are never ending. Talked with a friend about thoughts and ideas after years of writing what I'd like to do with some of the stories. I hope others enjoy them like I enjoy writing them.

I have lived the dream and have achieved my goals. I have walked a mile in another mans shoes. I have come to understand that all things are fleeting and that I must move on. I am unsure what my purpose is anymore, I have survived adversity and I have given to help the forgotten. I have sacrificed and endured the struggles of life. I have received a reward for my hard work and I have no more visions for my tomorrow. So perhaps I will not make any plans, but for once I will leave the world to chance. I will remember yesterday and savor today and let tomorrow take care for itself.

Already stressing pursuing goals
Hope something works out for the future
Making the most if things over time
Trying to change not argue just focus
Can't be going backwards already feel stuck
Use to seek approval not always the way
Sometimes karma comes back as a wake up
Working harder distracted by work
Eventually asking what else is out there
Listening to the wrong people
Chose an alternative instead of pursuing
Thankful it helped but not better
Looking out for others meant well
Others acting crazy raising hell
Mind is everywhere praying it all comes together
Opened up it was a mistake
Told the truth then told how to act
How to feel doesn't settle well
Dealing with people is hard
Clueless when it comes to family
One day you feel like everything is well
Other times confused asking *** just happen
On the inside on the side lines
Or the outside asking this is no surprise
Thinking how much you have to give up and sacrifice to be accepted again
Saying sorry is never good enough
This will be held against you on the hold for a later moment.

Reinsurance is a 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭!
With goals so far, it's simply out of reach
Things in life will **** me, there's no doubt.
But the path I'm ought to take, I can't reroute

𝙸'𝚖 𝚜𝚘 𝚌𝚕𝚘𝚜𝚎, I want to believe but that's just life making me deceive.

I'm perceived from what my gut is saying, but I can already feel my future, slightly delaying.
I was looking over my school courses for next year, and I noticed that I'm almost done high-school and I've done it all online due to the virus. Got sad a bit knowing that I probably won't get to do the things I want because of it, so I wrote a poem about it. Let's hope all our dreams come true even with this virus. I sure hope mine does. Stay safe everyone :)

I starve for the opportunity to happen
I thirst for the right time
I smell the change in the future
I hear the difference in our lives
I reach for our goals
I pray for us to embark on a new journey
In time, things will change, our hearts will be filled, and our journeys will begin anew
We just have to wait for the right time, but I pray for it to happen soon
I am Brian Allan
I am 50 years old
I was born on the 28th May 1969
I love doing art, like tapestries and paintings and drawing
I get the idea from my cosmic beliefs
I write stories and poems too
Some silly and somewhat strange
I have a disability as well as schizophrenia I use my disability to make me a better person
And a lot of my artwork is based on that
I like going out having fun
Like to the movies or to watch a game of sport or to do tenpin bowling
My goals are to create a better world for each person to live in through my art

From the windowsill
with a plaintiff tell to tale
I saw the tired look on your face

Rain on your souls' side
Leaving you was harder
The vacuous circle is broken now
We wept to see our goals swept

Courage to last our cords
those warring ranting days
fade away
Don't take to the clouds
before you can fly

Two different hearts joint together in the same time zone

Our chemistry is strong, we’re in control of setting the tone

She love the way I treat her, have her mind blown

I like the way she hustles, she has her own goals

Next year we’ll be living on 500 acres in our new home

Express my commitment through this rose gold

Born a natural leader, I set those milestones

Beginning to end I’m here for the long road
Power. Trust. Secure. Delivered

I find it hard to describe the longing I feel when I think of what’s to come,
The feeling of space in my stomach, making room for future plans and goals.
Sometimes it’s exciting, the possibilities endless in their quest for satisfaction.
Sometimes it’s terrifying, the fear of wasting my ideas to a life of boredom and monotony.
There are so many things I want to do and so much time to do them, but what if I use the time unwisely and never get past writing a bucket list, what if my midnight dreams and sunrise hopes are only ever nice thoughts and the impractical mindset of the young?

Youre the little garden where all good thing grow.  At the top of your crown is an aurora of gold. Like origami, I want to know the complexity of every fold. Together we can map out destiny and aspire for goals. We can gap all bridges so, we never wear the toll. We can live remote so we're in complete control, over everything except the seasons as they go. We can breathe new souls or, we can have nothing and be beautiful.

Your eyes smile like two crescent moons, and your skin glows like Sahara desert dunes. No need for rings when relics only ruin,
Ive been a student to stupid.  And Youve more than proven , your the only human. I cant lose.

When others speak negatively about you?
Know many have been in your shoes and will continue too.
Just know Jesus faced various comments.

When many don't accept your views?
And you're feeling so alone.
Just know Jesus met the same wrath.

Somewhere behind you and within you lies strength.
Strength to be.
Strength to accomplish your goals and your dreams.

Believe in Jesus.
With all your heart and soul
Cause we know of his death, miracles and just when she rose.

And to this day he going on and going strong.

They use to be good friends both developed feelings and the other acted on them. Two different personalities one social and the other closed off.
The line between friendship and relationship was blurred one wanted more the other did not feel the same. As time pasted life set them apart one got married and the other responsible trying to become established.
They talk but things will never be the same while things felt like an old routine. Why go back to a failed outcome expecting things to change. He was single and she was married he denied his feelings while she poured out here. This was wrong and he knew so he would cut all ties from friends to strangers. She had more going on and he was doing his own thing. She told him he was the one who got away but that is impossible because she got married. Her husband was not fond of the friendship but it was a spike that caused a mild wedge. He didn't want to ruin things so he went away. She would call and text but he ignored her. She didn't like it and knew he did not belong because her marriage was more important. Eventually they moved on to together while he was forgotten on his own path pursuing his goals and dreams hoping to one day find new love.

He wiped the tears said it will be okay
One bad week months of frustration
Doesn't define the rest of your life
New week new start new beginnings
Putting out god vibes to the universe
Trying to shine not be dull like the rest
Put out more energy not be sluggish
Finish strong take pride in work
All hustle grind no gimmick
The outcast for chasing greatness
Refusing to settle called entitled
Called crazy for having an opinion
Having a dream seen as delusional
Setting goals determined not stopping
A bad attitude for speaking up
Being ignored feeling insulted
Asked for courtesy to prepare
Given last minute notice set up to fail
Treated different from the rest
More double standards excluded
Maddy Jul 2021
Groups of new people unnerve me
Not interested in their worlds or goals
Taken time for me to care about myself and those I love
Just because they are your friends doesn't mean they are mine
They matter and not sure I want others to matter
There is a golden circle built on time and trust
Those are the ones where time is spent and enjoyed
Trusting new people isn't easy
What is in it for them and there is nothing I want to offer
Wish me well, Much Thanks
Please don't plan my life or future
There is much privacy surrounding a loner's life
If you are let in, it takes time and not in the plans
Keep your distance and mind your business
Been hurt enough not to let it happen again

Setting new goals
New plan of action
From rock bottom
Solid ground work
Steady foundation to build
From behind the scenes
Onto new challenges
Learned lots of personal growth
Mindset changing about life
Unlearned made up rules
From the heart that means well
Positive intensions no hidden agenda
No negative influence twisting truth

Another year coming to an end
A new year is just around the bend
A time to start over
Turn another page
Set life goals
Throw your animosity away
Begin anew
To a better you
Happy New Year to all
May all you wishes come true!

I’ll put pen to paper in an attempt
on this dawn of my life
even though the years rescind
now is the start of my time

to state the reason I exist
it could be one or many more
joined by others or just myself
goals to embrace future’s sake

this path could be my destiny
scribbled fate I should embrace
based on what I’ve seen before
with addition of what could be

hoping words can show the way
intent affirmed by characters
declaration I’m bound to live
if I knew what to write.

Beneath a hill
A small hobbit resided
In solitary until
A wizard guided
13 dwarves arrived
A dragon looming
Their gold deprived
Their hope blooming
To the mountain lurking
Numerous obstacles faced
Never from the trail shirking
Through elves and trolls
Goblins and cells
Always striving to their goals
Through a door sealed with spells
A golden cup cradled dear
A celebration
Victory so near
The delegation unbeknownst
That the dragon had gone
In their gold engrossed
One final arrow drawn
A dragon slain
The town freed
The dragon’s bane
The great archer’s deed
Had established peace
The six armies hate
Shan’t cease
Until the dwarves had met their fate
They gathered together
And battled the dwarves
But the hobbit was clever
And the war was won, peace conserved
The story complete
The ending near
The feat of war and dragons
Sadly this is where we must part I fear

I met my younger self for dinner today,
Her pupils were large and dilated,
She felt that she will never be sober again.
I noticed that she carried something with her,
It was substance just in case her high goes away.
I ordered some Caesar salad,
She couldn't think about food,
Because she would purge.
Then she spoke:
"Are my scars visible"
I couldn't reply,
I didn't want to make her feel bad.
And again she spoke:
"Are we finally sober?"
"Of course we are!"
-I replied.
If she only knew we have so much goals ahead of our life.

— The End —
