In the depths of the soul, a precious treasure lies,
A beacon of light that never truly dies.

A testament to one's worth, an unwavering might.

A cornerstone of life, crystal clear.
With every step taken, head...

Self respect. Where did it go?
This generation just don't know.
Like the present of a past known all too well.
"So many dying, in the air the bodies I smell".
"One man killed, one sitting in jail".
Already too many burning In hell.
Sons and daughters in holding cells.
Life without...

When you have given all and it’s still not enough
Ripping, Taking, Consuming everything
Leaving your heart bruised, pained, aching
Your mind a whirlwind of emotions
Confusion building, the tears won’t stop
When is it time to choose for yourself?
To calm your mind and take a direction
A direction without the...

SELF-RESPECT



Self-respect,
Prince of my heart,
Crown of my character 
Bastion of my dignity  
Compass of my life,
Through 
Many battles have we been
Against formidable 
Opponents 
Who has tested our resolve in 
Words and deeds many
A time
Expecting to break us
Apart 
By tempting me
With their promises:
Of riches 
Of positions,
Of...

I really do not want your man
I've had a few of my own
None have been the right one
this I have been shown

Either they were truly selfish
or they cheated and they lied
Who would want to live that way
until the day they died

It wasn't always terrible
No, not...

All you want is sex
Because it was everyday with your ex
But please don't vex
Because I am not an object of pleasure
At your leisure
That doesn't last eternity
Because I  have my dignity...

I placed my treasures at your feet
I gave you all my songs so sweet

Before my own I placed your need
"All for you..." my daily creed

My self worth in  your reflection
The biggest fear .. your rejection

Always expecting your rebuff
Knowing what  I had was not...

Self respect
We use to be together 
All season before now 
Long years past we were always
Birds with same feathers
We fly and live together 
But not too long 
Little do we know that one day 
We are bound to separate
Am sorry my friends
Am doing good with...

Not this day
No 
My mouth shall not say
The words that linger
Trailing broken syllables 
From memory bay
Without meaning
I cannot form them
Even as I pray
Turning in guttural acidic taste
By bitter bile way
Fumbling resentment 
Phrase to phase
With no sway from sentiment 
Shall I dare?
Shall I say?
Nay!
Struggle thought 
Drowning...

Tonight’s the night I go on a date, 
At the restaurant we’ll meet face to face,
Where we’ll wine and dine and talk about love, 
And maybe go back to my place,

Where lights will be dimmed, with soft music on, 
Maybe a slow dance on the...

Poem Ego
Ego leads us in the right direction
It is a means of satisfaction
It is a crown that never lets us down
It soothes the heart and touches soul
A man without ego has no goal
He who bows before someone has lost his light
A man with ego is...

A upholder strong, bold, and courageous
Belittled and trivialized
Accepting truth; she's bon a fide
Speaking up for self became contagious.

in my youth
i was in love
it was hard but
i once left the boy
for whom I cared so much

I told him he didn't
love me enough
he just asked
'what do you mean?'
to which i said
'exactly'

I am hard on myself, for your presence lingers,
The weight of your judgment, my heart still remembers.
In your eyes, I sought approval and grace,
Yet I found only doubt, in my every embrace.

With each flaw magnified, I strive for perfection,
Your expectations, a relentless affliction.
But within this...

"All a man really wants, is a girl who looks good in a bikini." - Jack Freestone

		
Upon your mind set it purely depends; 
Self-respect of girls it greatly offends.
Men, tighten all your minds’ screws; 
Picture yourselves in their shoes.
A view of this kind surely needs...
