Sanity Isn't Yours To Define
You call me villain, cold and cruel,
Yet I’ve done nothing but breathe and endure.
I walk alone, not to isolate—
But to escape the sting of your quiet war.
You don’t scream, you don’t strike,
But your silence cuts deeper than knives.
You dress your disdain in concern,

Define Your Limits
The quiet whispers of a dream
stir within, a gentle, persistent call.
Doubts may loom, and shadows creep,
But the heart knows its own truth, standing tall.
For this much is clear, a fundamental plea:
Dreams don't work unless you do,
So if you put in the work, all your dreams can come true.
It's in the effort, the learning,

Skin Does Not Define
How are we so different due to the colour of our skin
We may differ on the outside but are all the same within
We all breathe the same air
Have dreams, wants and needs
Have strength and weaknesses
We bleed…
All of us need love
Experience pain and fear
Know laughter and sadness
Shed a tear
We are individuals
Outwardly not the same
Are

Define or divide
Definition is important why?
He or she is ***** and
“they” live in wonderland.
If he or she is straight,
it is only he or she, and
he or she lives in reality.
Humans whether gay or straight,
male or female, are singular.
We are not cells which divide.
The division for us is not physical,
it is purposeful intent, driven by
forces seeking

Define that word, love
I wonder, what is love?
Is it a feeling, a commitment, a need for companionship.
Surely, it must be deeper.
So what of this word, that we use so much.
I love iris, they are my favorite flower.
I love meatloaf, it’s my favorite meal.
I love a good bourbon.
I love red wine.
I love to go hiking.
I love the mountains.
I love

MONEY
Money! Money! Money!!!
Money is the new treasure all humans seeks...
Tell them, Money don't grow on trees
Money don't come, by just wishing you have to work for it
Money gives everything that's purchasable
Money in the pocket makes a man happy and confident
Lack of money makes a man sad, wise and dangerous.
Money comes to those who knows the

Does Money Define Success Or Happiness
Many lives have been ruined
for the maddest race known to us:
does money define success or happiness?
Why has greed motivated and fooled
the smartest people around?
Luxury comes from wealth, not sacrifice;
keeping it up is a must and should one lose
the privilege to look good and be admired will raise
brows and open the eyes to unexpected demise,
being deprived

When Trying To Define Life
In this life,
I have witnessed many folks
who always did bad things to others
and ended up badly.
In this life,
I have witnessed many folks
who always shared their privacies
with some friends and relatives
and ended up blackmailing by their loved ones.
In this life,
I have witnessed many folks
who always
