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,...

a line drawn in the sand of time plucked from the depths of my mind’s eye curled edge of what’s real what’s not that line that never should be crossed plucked from the depths of my mind’s eye things we’ll forgive but not forget built an imaginary fence washed away by tides yet lingers curled edge of what’s real what’s not distinguishing what’s...

Mom writes polemics, when a cause grasps her heart She's a good soul and wants to do her part A journal took one, so she emailed it to friends Then found that old age had brought many to their ends Sometimes children answer back, or maybe a weary wife They thank her kindly, talk about the...

Premium Member Personas Limitation
Personas have limits, boundaries veiled by the thin masquerade of pretense They whisper promises of identity, yet crack under pressure of reality's weight—poet She puts on her face while vaping smoke surrounds, Carefully paints fishtail eyes , studs, and crimson lips, satin scarfs around hug her hips Bindi adorned when with the Janes A sterling nose ring pierces...

Limits
I went to the river and drowned I went to the forest and screamed I went to the shelter nearby and cried I went to my head and asked: If anyone in this whole damned world would truly take you seriously? Seriously enough to understand or know? Acknowledgment is enough. So I knew I had to simply, Drown until I...

Premium Member You Have No Limits
“You can be anything you choose,” commencement speakers say. “Your journey starts today. By persevering, you can’t lose!” The graduates and audience all nod and smile and clap. Some want to take a nap, but jabbing elbows interfere. Conclusion: “Limits don’t exist unless they’re self-imposed!” ...

Twinkle twinkle little stars, please tell me wherever you are, sky blue, The cows turn their heads, as they stand in their beds, grass grew, The mop and the broom had to clean up a room, mushroom, Mom goes no-no, Dad goes boo-boo, the baby goes poo-poo karma, The bass and the trout went swimming about school's out....

We were at a small bar, the place only served some older regulars. An elderly guy in an old jean jacket was talkative, friendly. “What do girls learn at Yale?” He asked. “We’re taught things, like expressions, smiling, pomposity, snark, whatevering and stuff-stuff.” I bragged shamelessly. “Sure,” He chuckled, “sure - but it’s worth the money I suppose,” he gave me a toast. Limiting yourself can, in fact, set you free...

Term Limits Would Drain The Swamp Miracle Man 8/12/2023 Now draining the swamp is a worthwhile topic, Only those who could drain it appear to be myopic. I oft hear the catch phrase, “It’s for the American people”. But if swamp truth be known it’s usually for congresspeople. Their interest lies mostly in things benefiting their person. So as a consequence, I think, I’m seeing things worsen. Seems decisions are born from...

Surpass Your Limits
I'm surpassing my limits imagine the vision, Of grasping intentions to master existence, A savage I've witnessed bedazzled by gimmicks, I laugh but I meant this I ask for forgiveness, My past interventions were passion resentments, Relapsing and quitting soul nagging from interest, So sad had to end this what I had is not a friendship, My mask being lifted surpassing my...
