May
A gust of wind she is
Flowing through the fields
Flowers bloomed each one she touches
A beauty only month of may yields
Grateful for the memories we hold
For each laugh and each fight
At every phase of my life
You were there for me each time
No matter the hardships you face
You make your way through

Fight Against the Current
I am as cold as ice inside an arctic force wind.
A glacier slowly melting from things I can't control.
I can see the end but growing stronger is my goal.
I hang on like a ship that's sinking so tragically.
The world will move you if you let it, so magically.
On the outside you will see

Healing and Hardships 15-28
Can't you see
It's her not me
I’m being framed
That girl was my friend
But now she’s HER friend
And I can't talk to them?
What the hell
Where is SHE getting these games?
Why am I the only one being told off
When she clearly is doing shady business
I got a 9/10 on my maths
I showed mom
SHE said that SHE got

The Moon Shines and the Stars Twinkle
Confused and at a loss
I become mind blank and speechless
From young to old
Difficulties and hardships never end
Knowledge and experience can't help
Patience and perseverance slowly wear out
But the world still sleeps and wakes up
But the moon still shines and the stars still twinkle
It seems telling me to pursuit continuously
Amongst the hustle and bustle
That wake up the

Oklahoma Winds
We all have roots from seeds
In and on the fertile soil of our lives
Where we are planted to need
The place we know as home to thrive
Shaped and harvested we live to die
As the grains of wheat and hay
Kernels of corn, okra and dandelion greens
In the grand yield of who we are each day
But the winds

The Hopeless
Underground to breadth it’s hard
On the ground to stay alive one hustles
The darker the days ,the fewer the friends they say.
Empty vessels we are, noises of negativity we spread,
As we go around hating and hurting .
Emotions as hearts break ,
To trust we find hardships
But without love alone we feel
Wallowing in self pity we are,
Wishing to

Hardships of the Women
Likewise, he will not discredit her in the festivals
It was just a matter of breaking my heart, so all the common people will not do anything
Oh God, what a strange world of eunuchs you have created,
The woman who gave birth, man caste has raised her finger on her character.
Which account, which sin did I commit?
Why

Tender Rose
The rose bud
The soft petals
Clad between the sepals
Oblivious to daily dismals
Drops of water dribbled
Gliding soflty off the sepals
Not a single drop
Reaching the smooth petals.
Sweet Little Rose
She was protected likewise
by her beloved parents
Shielded was she of difficulties
Not a single hardship did she encounter
They were deviated vehemently
By this armour called Parents!
The rose bud had bloomed
Into a beautiful

Paddle Your Own Canoe
PADDLE YOUR OWN CANOE
Stand tall, raise high, blame not thy lot,
Tread path swift, find faults naught;
Decisions tough, impediments bountiful, solution yet to be taught,
On crossroads held, crisscross paths, life distraught!
Hold your ground yet firmly tread,
Not a cake walk though, life’s hostile instead;
Exhibit valour, let spirits soar overhead,
Vanquish hurdles, flaunt thy smile, joyous tranquility spread!
Befogged

Smile If You Can
SMILE IF YOU CAN!
Entangled betwixt the web of life,
Whence facing a situation terrible;
Support all lost, roads all crossed,
Befogged vision, intent ambiguous;
Amidst the hassle, resistant struggle,
Attempt with a tranquil earnest persistence;
Overlook the distress; Smile if you can!
The inevitable confusion life presents,
Assessing the worth of an earthling’s presence;
Not solely one but inclusive of all,
Each one’s life’s

Parallel Universe
They talk to me… I take no interest
For I like not their likes…
When I talk to them--- about angels, and heavens,
And about life, magic and things I like
They listen not
And the boasters, like parrots
Start praising their minds…
And talk of trivial things
Like brands, latest fashion, new model cars and their favorite cigarette
They seems impressed of themselves
And

This Truth of Mine
As a child, I learned that life is cruel
And justice is blind
My loving family filled with secrets and care
All I ever wanted
A love to call my own
A place to be unafraid of my surroundings
Why am I ever denied
Leaving scars on my heart
All I ever needed was a love that is real
To never feel

Untold Hardships
UNTOLD HARDSHIPS
Waging no war against atrocities,
Opulent lessin offering any resistance to social evils,
Marring herself by subduing to wicked hands,
Aura of venom often dowans on her to make her spiritless
Nadir is her social strata in her living milieu!!

Rejoicing Midst Hardships
By God’s grace, we can rejoice midst difficulties
He upholds us from our infirmities
For us to overcome inabilities
And engage in ministerial activities.
Through the Lord’s might, we can be joyful against labor pain
He fortifies our faith along hardship’s strain
For us to testify about heavenly gain
He assures us to reap* toil’s harvest-grain.
Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is
