Don’t forget all the lessons, the times we fell hard and all the times we felt unwell.
The times that surround us with substances that we thought were for fun, and they caused us to get addicted and waste so much of our time.
Don’t ever forget the loves we lost, the ones that fell and never got up.
Don’t quit, don’t surrender, keep going, and correct every error.
Love yourself, correct mistakes, say sorry, and repent, life will grab you and pull you down, but just shake it off and move to higher ground.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
Get up from that screen
ditch your routine
So much to find out
who and what are about
Please do not return
if your eyes still burn
They welcome the rest
~ Is it life’s greatest test?
When you are broken
The pains of life become unbearable
Making you vulnerable
You become unstable
Unable to focus on the target
Amidst your capability
You start living in captivity
If you don't use your agility.
Get up and take the stance
It's your chance to dance to life's music
The tones are echoing from distance
Disability is not inability
When life hit you hard; hit harder
Don't become a liability
When you were made for the possibility
Believe in your ability
For dedication yields productivity
Taking you from stagnation to your destination.
This is not a motivation
Rather an inspiration or education
Enlightening you to pay attention
Because attention yields redemption
If you don't know where it has been broken
How can you restore or make amendments?
Pay attention to the signs so you don't sigh negatively.
The light is bright
as I slip from under the covers
yet the house groans and creaks
and the ghost of winter lurks
within the walls.
When I was a child
a teacher said
first there was light
but I remember
the night I danced
under the cover of darkness.
When I go downstairs
the sun shining through the window
shows clutter, life’s imperfection
as I slip from the embrace
of last night’s dreams
of someone I loved
but that was long ago.
I must walk through the clutter
to step outside and feel a warm breeze
and let the day begin for me.
Branches of bare limbs dance
in a warm breeze
as they wait to bloom.
New life, a soothsayer says.
A poetic leap, I say,
as I grasp the wheel
and drive toward the sun.
Dry mouth, air crisp, the snap on my skin,
Room dark, curtains drawn, I stay within.
Dare not check the time, I bury my head,
Excuses keep me warm in this bed.
Yesterday’s troubles left behind,
Today, my heart’s strong, peace of mind.
Coughs and cold, sugar in check,
I rise with courage, no turning back.
Pyjamas tight, it’s a lazy day,
Perhaps a prayer to clear the way.
Outside, the world waits, blanketed white,
And though I can't see, I know it's right.
Get up-
Why can’t I move?
I just need to get up-
Why can’t I get up?
My stomach’s churning-
Am I hungry or nauseous?
Either way I need to eat-
What do I want to eat?
Nothing, I’d just throw it all up and be empty again-
Empty, empty, empty, why do I feel empty?
Wait, did anyone text me?
Nope, my phone’s empty, too-
Where is everyone?
Check Life360-
What is everyone doing?
Why hasn’t anyone texted me?
Do they not like me anymore?
What if they’re tired of me?
What if they hate me?
All my friends hate me.
They won’t reach out because they don’t want to.
I should kill myself.
They wouldn’t notice.
They don’t miss my absence now.
They won’t miss my absence at all.
They wouldn’t care.
Who would really care?
I can’t keep doing this.
There is something wrong with me.
I want to kill myself.
I’m so tired. So tired, so tired, so tired,
And I don’t have the energy to keep going, keep going, keep going.
Keep living.
How am I supposed to keep living if I can’t even get up?
Get up.
Get up.
Get up.
I can’t get up.
Why can’t I get up?
How am I supposed to kill myself if I can’t even get up?
Get up.
Get up.
Get up.
Does your brain ask why
See if you think about it
Last night I smiled cause I could hear her snore
So what happened between then and well now
Are you in pain
Nope
We’re you stressing last night
That’s me asking me
Well nothing unusually
Maybe we dreamed something sad
Who said that
From the meekest of shadows one of my shallows steps forward
Sorry I gave the voices
Some malformed shapes
Anywhys
Like Sherlock solving Artie Morty and his devilish plans
What sadness did you dream of
Which time your heart was broke
No it wasn’t that type of sad
More like a loss sad of something never more
Telling tales of heart
I call it old sad
something soothing about this sad
Like a chill in feverish Knight
One of Arthur’s less well known nights
A familiar sad
It doesn’t blue the days of rest
A warm sad
Just in its gloom
I think I will leave it at that
Our 'Get Ups' must become stronger
Than our opponent's 'Kick Downs'.
Never mind the times of our 'Kick Downs'.
Over time, 'Get Ups' will obliterate 'Kick Downs'.
The forces of our 'Get Ups' are greater than
The forces of our opponent's 'Kick Downs'.

Get up under your woman like she's under attack.
Get under her breasts like a hydraulic jack.
Raise them up to the highest peak they've ever seen.
Then, enjoy her expression as she suddenly creams.
Allow her to catch her breath, then do it again.
After that, slightly, slowly kind of stick it in.
It's like making Gumbo very hot when served.
Yet, filled with a perfect blend of spice and herbs.
Then, get real Creole and start making it burn.
Put cayenne in it to make it throb and yearn.
Inflame that woman and bring her to her hottest.
Get up under her as subjects do for a Goddess.
Don't commit suicide, there is still a way
Beyond the darkness, there is a hopeful light
Push through the pain, dawn will bring a new day
Amidst the struggles, keep up the fight
Don't give up on the precious gift of life
Beyond the darkness, there is a hopeful light
You are not alone in this endless strife
Reach out for help, find the strength to survive
Don't give up on the precious gift of life
Brighter days are yet to arrive
Don't let the darkness consume your soul
Reach out for help, find the strength to survive
Believe that you can start anew and be whole
Don't commit suicide, there is still a way
Don't let the darkness consume your soul
Push through the pain, dawn will bring a new day.
Eyes open, Mouth yarns,
Arm stretched.
Yet, my feet haven't touched the ground.
Heart beats, Ears itch.
Still mustering up the energy to put my feet on the ground.
Sun shines in between the lines of the blinds
Feeling refreshed
Another strong day,
So, get up!
Another day alive
Get up!
No more yarning and stretching.
Now my eyes are open wide
One foot on the floor
The second foot soon falls behind
Reach up to give thanks to
The ability to still rise...
So wake up and stand up
No matter the stress
Get up and stand up
Walk strong and continue to
Do your best.
Even when it gets hard
Remember to get up and stand up,
And let god do the rest..
News: Putin had fallen and couldn't get up
The one who found him there looked down and said, "'Sup?"
He'd stumbled down the stairs
And it seems no one cares
Would I have laughed out loud if I'd seen him fall? Yup.
Vlad slid down palace steps on his back, lying prone
His bodyguards were there. I wish he'd been alone
Medics waited at the gate
Clean up needed for Head of State
His backside was a mess due to a bruised tail bone.
Get Up
The day will come
When you will erupt with joy again!
Promise, Problem, Provision
Get Up
Never Give Up
Have you been knocked down?
Get Up
Have you been betrayed by a friend?
Get Up
Are you experiencing marital problems?
Get Up
Have you been having trouble at work?
Get Up
Are you having relationship problems?
Get Up
Are you having financial difficulties?
Get Up
Have you been knocked down by divorce?
Get Up
Are you having study difficulties?
Get Up
Have you been knocked down by illness?
Get Up
Have you been struck down by trauma?
Get Up
Get Up
The day will come
When you will erupt with joy again!
Promise, Problem, Provision
Get Up
Never Give Up

Get up and move
Life can't be easy
Expecially if you must live
Nothing is meant easy
No not any more
In humans world
It can't be easy when
Humans are the problems
Of themselves
So don't wait to be told
What the time say
Get the hell up and move
No one cares nowadays
QUESTIONS GALORE
Who asked you to suppress your dream?
When did you happily relish an ice-cream?
What inhibited you from flying high?
Why did you let yourself sink and sigh?
Where did you hide your beautiful smile?
Which chosen paths weren't worthwhile?
How can you let yourself to compromise?
Life is so short, didn't you realize?
