Chaos ensues when she enters the venue
Deep-seated insecurities and childhood issues
She takes the beauty and makes it problematic
Chaos is a defining feature of her habits
She aughts be in pictures an award-winning actress.
She embodies the measurements of a diva in distress
She leaves a path of destruction wherever she goes
like a wildfire burning out of control
Malicious, disparaging, unsightly, and misguided
Anger and confused she realizes her world is divided
She wants the power to conquer everyone’s lions
Yet getting taken down by her demonic giants
She's both cold like frost and fierce like a flame
Slurring, cursing, and scandalizing everyone’s name
She is one-sided, so don't waste your time
Trying to persuade her otherwise
The Cross is the only thing that could save that girl
Truth, that’s brighter than a gem, purer than pearls
It's time to unshackle from that intense cord
Jesus’s sacrifice is a gift it is not your award
You don’t have to be pretentious
Just apply yourself & unborn
Accentuate the positive
Follow your heart
Fulfill your dreams
Inspired by higher power
Reach for the sky
Make it happen
Apply yourself
Think big
Intercept negative thinking
Own your challenges
Never give up
The Creators brush in the stream of Ocean waves
Painting with feeling and shading with inner thought
Inventing a life a moment of escape
Swimming towards an open gate
A trigger with a conscience
A finger on a dime in somebody's tore pocket
What is saved at the end of the day without the skill of care.
Losing a life lost in disaster
Living to prove the glistening of diamonds
Who's shine a reflection of the dream to be left in peace
Diamonds made from the tears off every shooting star
Screams kept in silent smothered jars trapped by ocean waves
Released by moonstruck tides smashing the fallen day
They say apply yourself to a civilization that needs to dream
Pick up those who have fallen along the path as they are the hinges fallen from that rusted gate
Yes?
Question?
Please go on.
What's subjective?
When one applies one.
For my part. For myself?
Correct. You apply yourself.
Is that an abstract, or is not?
Well, for it is not an absolute?
Why it cannot be an absolute?
Abstracts are only you alone.
Absolutes encompass more?
Therefore I'm an abstract?
Wholesomely, you are.
Changeling effects?
I'm matchless?
Quite so!
Yes.
Life is an adventure
are you ready to drive?
To launch as an entrepreneur
We take on our passions
and work our bucket list in life
And laugh at the danger
and wade through the strife
Architect a world full of mystery and intrigue
Work our way through this very limited time here
10 lifetimes would maybe be enough
to see our life's work done indeed
So smile and whistle in your day
and apply yourself all in good time
And bring your passion and zeal to obstacles
so its not wear in the daily grind
There is a world to be conquered
with science, art and time
And just the activity
can make life sublime
- the essence of a passionate life For Richard Troy, Chief Scientist, Science Tools, Karmann Ghia God, Da Vinci to my Michaelangelo (C) May 23rd, 2011 Artimus Aka Susan Manley
I was once told, and very recently: "That I should allow for my wings to dry and to sit on my hands."
This person also added: "Get used to your own ground and apply yourself to trying to remain helpful if, and when, and wherever you still possibly, can be!"
"Yes, friend, you will soar all in due time again, and you will never need to come down - unless; this is to allow for another to apply themselves towards this ever-helpful effort, the very same way, and ever-continually!"
It can be done
Apply yourself accordingly
You have the knowledge
Utilize it wisely
Take center stage
Uplift and empower
Embark on your journey
Climb towards the top of the tower
It all comes from within
You are the total sum
You have it all
Knowledge and wisdom
Apply yourself to everyday life
Take things one step at a time
Continue to forge ahead
Keep everything in line
Just go for it
Utilize your mind
Reach for the gold
Remember to be gentle and kind
It is all in you
You have the knowledge
Apply yourself accordingly
Have strength and courage
Just study harder
Believe that you can
Apply yourself better
That is the master plan
Raise those marks
Take good direction
You can achieve
And be the best reflection
Recognition and Accolades
(from a very proud grandfather and father)
By Franklin Price
7/28/2017
Recognition and accolades are coming your way
Hard work and intelligence are making your day
Not much luck about it; black and white, not just gray
They must say what they need and get out of your way
When defined what's expected, you will do every bit
You'll dance well in the spot of the light that was lit
If it's there to do, you'll surely not quit
But the job is not you and you are not it
Do more than's expected when playing work's game
But don't lose who you are in all of the fame
Make time for yourself while you're making a name
There's life after work, and they're not both the same
Apply yourself fully, no matter the task
Of course you can do it, if they only will ask
I'm very proud of you, in your glory I bask
At the end of the day, you can take off your mask
When you apply yourself properly
You are bound to do better
Open those books and study
Be an inspiration to the world forever
Always enhance your mind
Find ways to take in valuable information
Sprinkle the kindred spirit
Enlighten the situation
Always give it your best
Continue to climb that ladder
Believe that you can
Make your visions sharper
You have the knowledge
Just apply yourself properly
Reach for the top
Focus on doing things succinctly
You can do better
It is simply up to you
Apply yourself accordingly
Work towards your goal efficiently
Keep at it
Continue along your path
Move towards the light
And make your world bright
All of the tools are there
Utilize them wisely
Just spread those wings and fly
Apply yourself accordingly
You can do it
Never settle for less
Put your heart into everything
And do your best
