February Flex
Between the iron's echo, seven moons have shaped
this flesh to tempered steel—each rep a whispered vow,
a calculus of sweat where discipline escapes
the ghost of who I was. The mirror shows me now:
a shadow split in two—one clawing from the past,
one carving forward, raw, through protein,

My Future Self
Shame is a feeling I do avoid.
Too often, something like it has me, destroyed,
and yet, to be a better man,
I must look at myself as best I can,
and that may entail shame.
I look at myself, not to blame,
but to grow, to not be the same,
and yet to know I'm ever flawed,
eschewing pangs which on

Turning Point
Everybody has experienced a turning point
It’s a natural part of life; it’s part of growing up
Life is a sleek roller coaster that goes down and up
There’s a Carrefour which we must turn to a point
To pause, think, fathom and reflect upon and to move on
To face a neoteric reality, an ingenious centaur with apron
Unusual or

I Tried To Find You
I tried to find you,
Tried, tried, tried to find you.
But you’re hiding from yourself,
Behind a wall of bricks that seem
So, so, so
Unbreakable
Making it impossible to see you.
For who you really are.
You’re afraid of letting go,
Of the past.
And moving on to fast.
Holding on to memories
Good and bad,
Is what you like to do.
Making it impossible,
For me

I Wish I Was Her
I wish i was her
She is courageous , she is bold
She does not care about the thoughts of the world
Above all when she loves she loves wholeheartedly
I wish i could meet her once more
Like i did a few years back
But is she still there
Or did the bitterness of the world bring her down
She always

Self-Discovery
In the realm of introspection, my friend,
Let go of the desire to possess, to hold me tight,
For I am but a reflection, a flicker in the night.
Instead, turn your gaze inward, delve into your core,
Where the universe resides, an infinite store.
Seek not to grasp me, but fathom the depths,
The labyrinthine chambers of your own self.
In

Irregulaer Ryhthmn
Without arbitration( a general notion of terms)
a solution was found to appease both parties.
Separation of was is current
means to define each aspect in
both positions and then
neogate the teams from the middle.
That gave the parent company the position of
"most concerned"
allowing the new words that
were needed
to be used as part of
the negotiating strategy.

the collaboration of the

A Tiny Home Improvement
A tiny home improvement
Can instill a sense of pride
For your efforts are apparent
And results can’t be denied.
Taking charge and getting started
Are the hardest things to do,
But if things go as you’ve planned them,
All the credit goes to you.
So today I finally tackled
Unattractive kitchen shelves,
Adding bright new contact paper
Meant for folks to

Where Is Your Superwoman Today, By Davieo, David Rothchild
Where is your Superwoman today
Your triple A game to win every play.
To take the light to its height
To be the hand of nature and of might
To breathe in the victory
Every movement a high point of history,
To turn even the heartbeats of falling snowflakes
Into blinging diamonds of success's keepsakes
Surge with relish thru the sweet eternity
That lies

Mom's Christmas Day Decision For Self-Improvement
“I saw Santa last night,” the tot said.
“He is BIG, and his suit is bright red,
like the robe Mama wore!”
Mama silently swore,
“No more sweets, high-cal foods, or white bread!”

Relativity
A world of relativity
Sometimes a comparison
Makes things complex
Makes us feel sick and tired
A comparison of status
A comparison of riches
A comparison of power
May sometimes makes us competitive
Leading to improvement, expectation and hope
But most of the time a comparison only leads to
Greed, selfishness, jealousy and cruelty
An upheaval and chaos
Anyway self-control is the most important
factor
But who cares
But
