The Pendulum of My Consciousness

'Helpless' is an adjective I never thought
my hand would write to describe the despair
that's wound its way deep inside my heart.
Honestly, I'm only the catalyst of my own life,
the taproot that strengthens my mindset,
my cornerstone, my anchor, my backbone
when I wobble in the wind over matters
that I deem too serious to contemplate.

Lately, my thoughts swing back and forth,
from heights and depths, highs and lows.
My conscience cannot abide the seesaw
on which it rides up and down. 
It wants to get off but can't find the right stride
to control where my troubled mind goes.

What fulcrum will serve as a bulwark for me?
Today I turn away from the bitterness and strife,
but tomorrow my mind will again pivot upon life.
I am a pendulum, swinging in the air, 
but I have no counterweights to spare. 
I try to bury my worries, but I still hear them chime.
There's no place to hide from a revolution.
Persecution of the innocent is a wretched crime.

What can I do to ease such chaos and lament?
I pray for Divine intervention with the intention 
that God's mercy will help humankind 
endure their banes and lessen their pains.
But is it His plan to save man in this way?
I've become unsure that He will intervene.

With so much folly and corruption in the world
I wonder... should I keep my sails unfurled
and take flight so that I might never see 
horrors in the night and the bitter blight,
the tragedy being inflicted upon each other.

Or should I stay to fight with my brothers?
Given my druthers, there'd be no choice to make
if greed in fiendish ones, they would forsake.
What hub could serve as the center point, 
a crux where minds meet to ease the tension,
and erase the apprehension in our society?
If there is an answer it has not come to the fore.
Must that mean war is the only solution?

Is there no resolution, something awesomely sublime,
to be a lever of sanity and give proper perspective
to a world standing on the edge of fanatical unrest?
I've no answer that would end the volatile upheaval
or staunch the flow of blood driven by an evil ego.
To negate the vile ones who are assailing humanity,
will take a mind shrewder than mine has to reveal.

My Life

Sitting in the dark,
My shadow shines bright as I think of my future,
the one that's always criticized,
and I dwell upon my feelings the ones that always scatter in different places as criticism ingites.

Showcasing how alive it is en how powerful it can have a bigger impact on one's life,
and that's wen realisation kicks in 
as my future hides even further behind my shadow how,
how do I unbuckle the fear concentrated on the routes routed by my mindset with the help of my heart..
I scream for help but mute is he who hides his feelings with a mere smile...
Love so spiteful ripping the odds of peace promoting violence,
a mechanism so dire in consequence.

oh how blind a human eye can be,
as it sees no reason to refrain from an effect so diabolical in action as the heart screams,
"save me" for the the hundredth time..

Mindset

Smoke swirled and billowed from your lips
Like gossamer it extended itself like a ballerina arching in hopes of caressing mine
The crickets raised together their bows in consideration

The summer sun nodded quickly to proceed
The waves tickled our lanky set of alabaster knees
The dock groaned beneath us but I am anchored 
Steadfast in this life 

I see our life through kaleidoscope binoculars
Such cheery coloured spectacles and distortions
I want to ride on this merry-go-round with you 
But it appears my pocket watch keeps spinning because 
Time is relentless
I want to capture our laughter in mason jars!
Your fervour makes me feverish when you consume and devour!
Cloaked by nightfall and nimbus clouds

Within the recesses of my mind my anxiety is patiently awaiting moments to commit heinous robbery
This parasite creeps into my subconscious and whispers down my lonely hallways 
It makes itself comfortable by weighing  heavily on my shoulders! The entire body shudders from its hideousness 
It’s toxic venom runs through my veins 
Holding my memories ransom and masticating any feelings of safety 
Writhing and wailing to dominate and keep me still

Never willing to compromise or to remain ill
Navigating through the muddy waters of my mind
Following the metronome of your breath demarcating our way home

The Burden I Carry

I had a nightmare, 2 nights ago
After 7 hours of fighting insomnia
This nightmare was hard to bear though
It forced my heart to sink into my gut, and caused me great nausea

In this dream, it was August thirteenth 
The temperature felt 70 degrees, it was bright and sunny
My arm tingled from the UV Rays and I felt relief 
I was in bliss and wanted sugar so I made a wish for some honey

But as I made that wish, this dream took a quick turn
Prism-like, ominous clouds started to swarm the sky 
Suddenly I wasnt outdoors anymore, causing me much discern
I breathed in through my nose to calm, so I would not cry

I was standing in the operation room at clermont hospital center
Seems I'm a scrub nurse, considered for promotion to resident
But I'm the only one at the table, no one allowed to enter
If they helped, the accountable would be everyone present

My test was to open a jar that was far from the normal
The purest golden honey was inside, but it didn't come from bees
This honey, as I was told by my cousin Taylor, afterall 
Was made of happiness, and that could cure any disease

I stood there shaking wildly, Taylor trying his best to advise
He was standing on the spectator platform to my rear
Since he wasn't allowed to interact, and Taylor has always been wise
He gave me a huge grin of confidence, that rounded past his ear

Time ticked by, I struggled for 12 hours to open this jar
My knuckles on both hands were bleeding and sore
Trying to achieve my dreams I had come so far
I've wasted my chance, and now it's all broken up and done for

The timer buzzed finally. It screamed, piercing me like a wraith
Taylor faded away into a puff of smoke and I was in solitude 
I laid the jar on the ground in defeat, since I had lost my faith
The dream faded away, waking me in my current foul mood

This poem is a metaphorical explanation 
Of the burden I have carried for far too long, you see
This dark depressing mindset has long since been taken
Now I'm beyond help from others, only I can help me

Mental Rumination

**Mental Rumination**
Every single day brings with it a new and unfamiliar word, each one carrying its own distinct meaning that often resonates with the shifts in my life. Retirement, for instance, has proven to be a profound transformation, especially during this initial year. I had envisioned a seamless transition, convinced that I had everything perfectly mapped out. However, as the days progress, I catch myself grappling with self-doubt, second-guessing nearly every decision I make, particularly those concerning my health and overall mindset.

It seems like a soundtrack of sorts plays in my mind—a loop of Bruno Mars’ “The Lazy Song.” The lyrics echo my innermost desires: a yearning to do absolutely nothing and simply enjoy the leisure for which I had longed. Reflecting on my aspirations for retirement, I realize that this very notion of relaxation was all I had ever dreamed about.
 So, it perplexes me that a motivational speaker, someone who is supposed to uplift and inspire, is instead filling me with guilt for not maximizing every moment of this so-called freedom. Why am I feeling this way when I thought this phase of my life would be a time of unbridled joy and fulfillment?
I've recently become aware that I've gained some extra weight, and it's not contributing positively to my overall well-being.
 It's interesting how these YouTube Nigerian movies have such a strong allure for me; they hit my taste buds like an addictive substance.
 Although many of their movies are poorly directed and lack the technical finesse one might expect from a polished production, I find myself drawn to their charm and vibrant storytelling. 
There is something uniquely entertaining about the way they portray life, and I cannot help but get lost in the attention-grabbing plots and often over-the-top drama.
 It's a guilty pleasure that I know I need to manage better,
Mental rumination is a genuine experience that many of us face as human beings. It is essential to acknowledge it, as it impacts our thoughts and overall well-being.
While  it seems like I am grounded on my couch, and doing absolutely nothing 
I cannot be happier doing that.
But as the saying goes, I will take one day at a time. “Lord Jesus

From Potential To Greatness

Potential is untapped power, not defined solely by past performance,
Potential is a latent ability, not useful until put to purposeful action,
Potential is a hidden capacity, not just a measure of immediate success,
Potential is unrealized aptitude, not limited by circumstances.

Potential is a dormant talent, not realized without effort,
Potential is undiscovered strength, not the previous achievement,
Potential is undeveloped skill, not solely determined by genetics,
Potential is the yet-to-be-harnessed reservoir, not useless, but remains so unless utilized.

Potential is a thirst for learning, not stagnant or unchanging,
Potential is the belief in progress, not bound by past limitations,
Potential is a mindset of improvement, not inhibited by fear of failure or self-doubt.
Potential is self-awareness and belief, not constrained by external opinions or societal expectations.

Potential is unexplored opportunity, not fully known until it is tested,
Potential is a seed of possibility, a gateway to greatness not yet fully explored,
Potential is getting out of your comfort zone, not only this but giving your best,
Potential is the YOU that is YET TO BE SEEN, so WHAT in you is yet to be seen, and WHEN?

Premium Member Written In The Stars

"Written In The Stars"
An inspirational phrase.
It encourages hope
And fantasy displays.

If things happen by a force
That controls the future - understand -
We ourselves are that force!
The Stars rest in our hand...

Timing factors in
When we make a new friend.
Are we feeling vulnerable?
Need someone new on to depend?

Have we been yearning
To find our "true love"?
Another crosses our path in the same mindset
As though it's destined from above.

Life can throw us down
For lengthy stretches at a time.
Then something wonderful happens
As though it was divine.

I don't mean to burst bubbles,
But what's "written in the stars"
Is the reality we choose to endorse,
To live, to become ours.

Come, Kingdom, Come

I’m sorry for my agitation
I’m sorry for my selfish ambition
Lord, forgive me with Your mercy
Here’s yet another prayer, yearning for Your forgiveness
I’m so grateful to have You in my life, giving me utmost progress

Grace be to You
And the Holy Spirit too
Come, Kingdom, Come

Come, Kingdom, Come
Feeling numb and dumb,
But waiting for God’s Kingdom
Come, Kingdom, Come
I’m lonely, but not alone
His Future Judgement makes me feel at home
With me, myself and I
I won’t worry about her or him anymore
There’s a mountain of tribulation in store…

God’s Kingdom come
Come, Kingdom, Come
God’s Kingdom come
Come, Kingdom, Come
Don’t let the disappearing dusk 
Drown away all your remaining hope
Be the dawn and rise like the son
Have faith, have joy in heart…
That’s how I cope with trials that come my way
Sensuality, the snake, wrapped around my neck
Can’t deny this feeling of happistress (happiness and stress) today
These roads of paradise I will trek… 
But, are you willing to trek God’s Gracious Land with me?
God’s Kingdom come
Come, Kingdom, Come
God’s Kingdom come
Come, Kingdom, Come

Witchcraft has been harming my mindset as of lately
It does get me upset and reduced to ridiculous regret
Now, I know…now, I know…now, I know specifically 
What I have to do to keep up with His Blessed Breeze
I’m feeling like negative 100 degrees 
When I should be above 100 degrees
I need Your loving hand
To guide me to Your Graceland 
I’m not alone (yeah)
Not at all on my own (yeah)
In Your tent, I call it home
For, I want to be entitled to Your Liberty
