Premium Member Hey Ho Does An Octopus Know POTD

hey ho
does an octopus know
how to juggle with eight cups and saucers
and the fish watching him
while the elephants swim
then he juggles with a turtle and tortoise

then ho hey
does the octopus say
I can do this all day round in circles
but an ache in my arm 
in my arm, in my arm 
and so on through all eight tentacles

so hey ho
let the octopus go
to bed nice and early with honey
to rest and recline
for a considerable time
so he doesn’t feel worn out and funny

ho hey
and a new octopus day
refreshed and all ready to juggle
so with cups and with saucers
a turtle and tortoise
but the elephant’s splash makes him struggle

hey hey
that’s not fair that’s not fair
so the octopus went somewhere quieter
where he practised a lot
and a lot more than not
and so now he’s a pro entertainer

A Little Reminder

You aren’t 
a burden,
you are 
a blessing.

Premium Member I Can

They told me 
“I couldn’t”
But I did
Now they don’t tell me
“I can’t” anymore
Because
“I can.”

Let Go

Even the trees shed its own leaves
when they turn brown.

What are you waiting for?
Let go. . .

Welcome the winter with all it brings,
For only after Autumn dear, will come Spring

Premium Member Some Days

Some days I want to stay in bed,
Let flowery thoughts run through my head.
Some days I like to kick off shoes,
Run through our garden as I choose.
Until it’s time to work, I play,
And gift the world my best bouquet.

Bruised But Not Broken

Her spirit was made of pastel colours, glitter, tears and light
Her heart was made of smiles, strength and dynamite 
She wore courage on her sleeve and bravery on her face
She welcomed resilience with a warm embrace 

A part of her was the moon who rose above drama in the sky
A part of her was a shining star who refused to die
Leaning on the other stars in her milkyway
Her friends were her support structure and there to stay 

Do not judge her assertiveness as it creates protective walls
Not only from a crazy narcissist, but from any other great fall
Do not judge her walls as they kept her alive
It was all part of her process... shatter and then rise

She had worn many titles in her life
Such as daughter, friend, counsellor and wife...
She had been the provider, a teacher, and one who strives
But most of all, she wore the title of one who survives 

Yes! A survivor who many times did not need to tell...
The world of the numerous times she fell
Because she used her energy to get back on her feet
And go once more on life's rollercoaster's seat 

To the narcissist who dared to come close to my domain
And attempt to inflict her misery and pain
Come closer once more and play with my chaos...
Prove to me what I already know - (her sanity was always lost!)

Her bruised soul starts to heal and slowly discards the pain
As she dances to resilience in the summer's rain
She takes her scars as a souvenir and token 
That her soul was once bruised, but will never be broken

I Am a Woman, Not Just a Woman

We were known for being feminine, 
but femininity is not being too sensitive.
It's a serious talk about facts, that all of us should think positive.
We always get belittled, so woman should fight and be active!
We have weaknesses, but can be turned as our strengths to survive
There are many things that we can do, even carrying a life
So what are you going to do? 
love the person for being the reason why you're alive
We aren't recognized before a woman who's strong and independent
Slave, naive, a coward and a trash, that is how women being treated
Men are powerful. They are physically strong and being recognized as brave, intelligent and can do anything they wanted
But now we are equal, say yes, to women empowerment!
Women had sacrificed many things even their wants and needs
But being silenced for having no right to speak
Is this how our society should be? 
No equality? Pride and a man should lead?
We are essential, a woman should be loved and protected
Not being raped, abused and molested.
Women's capabilities has enhanced society's development
Here comes revolution of women empowerment
I  am a WOMAN, not JUST A WOMAN
Let us also be heard through HER story 
Let's be fair and do not only rely on HIS tory
Because God created this world with man and a woman

The Weak Man

The weak man

A weak man can do you wrong 
And  act like he is in control 
And appear to be strong
And the female will hold him up
In her heart is jealousy
She want to see you bleed
She will have the nerve
To lie
And say you jealous of her
And he will stand by her to make you look bad
And you are Hurt
In fact you are heart broken
There is no wrong or right in their eyes
No truth
There is jealousy and lies
That blinds them from what is real
But that spirit of hate  is in them got you on the ground  Bleeding, crying in pain
Wondering why
You was doing everything right

You are strong
You did nothing wrong
He is weak
He wanted to leave
He wanted your friend
Who is very jealous of you
She seduced him
And left her boyfriend 
For your weak  man

Pray, and ask God for strength and leave. 
You deserve better.
And they deserve each other. 
I know this pain seems like its forever 
But it’s not
If you can get over this
It takes time
Thats the way it is in the world 
I had to find myself agian

Quotes and Questions

If our problems
The passing clouds
Ahem... When will they pass?
Can anyone just say aloud?

If the failures
stepping stones to success
Hmmm... Still how many stones do I need
To reach that dreamy crest

If betrayal
makes you stronger than ever
Will those loyal betrayers
Feel the guilt forever

If motivation alone
Brings you the verve to drive
Would not the speakers and writers
have plunged into the laurel river

If karma
The boomerang
Will it swirl fast like a wind
Or will it go back to pavilion

The Motivational Speaker

I once heard a girl on Maury call her so-called husband a “motivational speaker”. 
He pimped, cheated, and beat her. 
But she said that he completed her.
Chuckling at the sight with who at the time I felt was Mr. Right. 
Fully aware of the fact that is right now causing me to write.
His motivational speeches were to be awed. 
To his every move and words I’d applaud. 
Appreciative of the educational experiences and even the flawed.
To love someone who never reciprocated. To feel that it was forever when he’d already had it dated. 
How to suck the life out of me and walk away to freedom he must’ve continuously contemplated. 
Just wanted as much as he wishes he accumulated.
What was made could set a person for life. 
But I wanted to be his wife. 
Still he sold left and right. 
I knew it wasn’t right. 
But I wanted him all day and all night.
When times sparked an epiphany he knew just what to say and do to me. 
Good or bad his motivation would get through to me. 
Sometimes I’d be so happy. Most of the time I’d find blood shedding from me. 
This from what consumed me completely.
For almost 4yrs I continued to grow weaker. 
Everyday just seemed to grow bleaker. 
For way too long, I couldn’t resist this motivational speaker.

Premium Member Arise and Shine

Arise and shine, my dearest one
Let worries fade and darkness shun
The world outside awaits your light
So take a breath, and face the fight

Rise up tall, and stand up strong
Your voice will carry, with love and song
With each step forward, your path will clear
And blessings await, both far and near

The sun may rise or set each day
But your spirit remains, a constant ray
Your light will guide, and help us see
The beauty in all, and what could be

So go forth, with heart ablaze
And let your light shine, in all your ways
For in this world, we need your love
And by your grace, we will rise above.

Premium Member A New Day

Storm passed,
Sky clears,
Clouds saunter,
Rainbow nears.
Valley yawns,
Rivers run,
Birds wake up the daisy sun.

You Are Motivational

Some people are lovable, sex-able, kiss-able and many other things...but this is my way of
saying you are motivational...

Two different worlds and two completely different lives,
Yours seems like Heaven and in mine that's hard to find.
We collided and somehow our worlds got connected,
Through we both though my fate was suppose to be rejected.

As we grew you kept me motivated when I was down and out,
You motivated me to keep going in the end without a single doubt.
It wasn't just you but also something else that kept me motivated,
It's your love it's like the blood that keeps my heart circulating.

There's no way in this lifetime I could live my life without you,
Each day our love grows stronger as our bliss seems anew.
Every time I look into your eyes I feel nothing can harm me cause I'm at peace,
And every time you hold me in your arms that endless joy never seems to cease.

I need you like the ocean need water cause you keep me from going dry,
I need you like the Earth need life cause without you I would die.
You are my richly soil that nurtures and keeps me standing strong,
You are my heartbeat, my pulse, my entire structure to have me live long.

Through it all you are always here to make sure I never get naive,
You are my motivation, my determination, and my ability to believe, achieve, and succeed.

Premium Member Keep Trying

When obstacles seem endless,
And success appears impossible,
Do not give up, keep trying.

When the road ahead is rocky,
And progress seems slow,
Do not relent, keep trying.

When failure looms large,
And disappointment is all you feel,
Do not lose heart, keep trying.

For every great achievement,
Began with a single step,
And every step taken,
Brings you closer to your goal.

Remember, success is not immediate,
It is earned with patience and perseverance,
So keep pushing through the challenges,
And one day you will see the fruits of your labor.

So keep trying, keep moving forward,
Believe in yourself, and never give up,
For the journey may be tough,
But the reward is worth the struggle.
