Oh, Mother, what from you did I inherit?
I’m not so slim. I’m dark-haired with eyes green-blue.
You’re red-haired and slender; hazel are your eyes.
There’s little of myself I see in you.
You swear you know the only true religion.
No confidence have I though in your church.
But I know God exists because of you,
and so for faith I have no need to search.
Dear Mother, you are day and I am night.
Your likes and thoughts are rarely like my own.
But we are both quite quirky and obsessed,
so parts of us from some same seeds were sown.
You get down on your knees to scrub the floors,
for cleanliness is godliness you say.
My life is filled with work done by my brain.
With time left over, I just like to play!
Dear Mom, you sacrificed so very much
while I went sauntering where I was led
by chance! You love me, and that means a lot,
yet you cannot fathom what’s in my head.
I thank you, Mother, for the gift of life
and my self-confidence, which you inspired
by telling me how special that I was.
My love of life from you, Mom, I acquired.
Though we are different in many ways,
we’ve met our trials, taking them in stride.
In my achievements always you’ve rejoiced.
In your successes too I take great pride!
So on this Mother’s Day, I give my love,
and flowers I’ll send too as I always do.
You’re still so healthy in your 90’s while
your eldest struggles far away from you.
You stung me with your waspish words
Injecting poison into my very soul
Again and again with those stinging syllables
Your words buzzed around my brain
Still you flew in and continued your scathing attack
It all came so easily to you
Viscous vitriol freely flows from your foul mouth
Deeper and deeper the venom seeps
You just stood there laughing at me
Continuing the little jibes and digs
Constantly belittling me
Criticising the way I look.
Mocking everything I say and do
Telling me I’m useless
The only thing you could never find fault with was my cooking -
I trained as a cordon bleu chef
My tears no longer flow
They have dried up like my self-confidence
Finally I can take no more
So I’ve cooked up a tasty little treat for you
Added my own special spice to your curry
I sprinkled flaked almonds on the top
They should mask the taste of the cyanide
Bon Appetite!

Self
Self emits light to make life glow.
Through my solemn soul-luminous,
permeates placid peaceful flow,
contemplating continuous.
Serene sublime soul, transparent.
Self emits light to make life glow.
Decisive desires translucent.
brightening fast or slow.
Self-obsessed performance, solo.
Self - confidence acting vibrant.
Self emits light to make life glow,
meets challenges, being gallant.
Existing ego never hurts
but trying perfection to follow.
Enlightened holy humble heart.
Self emits light to make life glow.
To the love of my life
My future wife
I know not who you are
Nor do I know if you're near or far
Maybe you're someone I've already met
Whatever the circumstances yet
I have a few things I'd like to say
On this cold January day
The road to you was hard
Leaving my soul and body scarred
But I've done my best to grow
And to be apart of life's great show
I battled with insecurities and weight
And blossomed a little late
But I've done my very best
To have my sins confessed
Sometimes I figured I ought to die
Without truly knowing why
I whittled away my self-confidence
With very little common sense
Depression wore down my heart
And poisons tried to tear it apart
Meeting you proves I'll have survived
To see my spirit finally revived
To the love of my life
My future wife
I seek shelter in optimism
But perhaps it's narcissism
To assume I'll even meet you
But even when I'm feeling blue
And though I feel wary
I know one day I shall marry
A kiss, softer than a shadow,
Is all we dare desire
As intimate involvement filled
With all of passions’ fire
More might crush those feelings
We need to keep us sane
Or like a moth, be consumed
In the heat of Passions’ Flame.
To those who inflicted wounds
Now in healing states
Know that somewhere up ahead
A crushing fate awaits.
The one we need is out there
But fearful are we still
To drop our guard, reveal ourselves
No, there’ll be no trust until …
Our confidence of who we are
And believe: The best will be …
When we get past the Hurt
Inflicted recently
Only then, when scars are healed
When self-confidence resumes
Can we again enjoy
Passion’s grand perfumes.
Remember …
Forgiveness is the perfume a flower leaves on the shoe that crushed it.
Love your neighbor as yourself
The entire Law, per the Sage Hillel
Before you take another book off your shelf
Take time to study this Levitical Law well
First of all, it's not 'advice;' it's a Law, a Precept
No less binding than 'Thou shall not steal'
A Commandment no matter how hard must be kept
He loves your neighbors; so must you: That's the deal
To love another, you must love yourself first
Focus on positives; build self-esteem
A negative attitude will lead you to the worst
Project positivity -- Self-confidence is no dream
Now you're ready to love others as yourself
To mourn sad times together; to celebrate glad
And by loving the Lord's fellow creations
You'll be beloved amongst His Congregation
"Love your neighbor as yourself; I am the Lord."
~ Leviticus, 19:18
Started out life as a child
Cuter than the average bear if I do say so myself
Grew up in a small town across the river from Montreal
My teenage years weren't all that happy
Had an inferiority complex for some strange reason
Started working in a bank right out of high school
But knew I wasn't cut out to be a banker
Met an old schoolmate one afternoon
Told me he was working as an apprentice in an art studio
And that surely sparked my interest
Always enjoyed doodling in my spare time
To make a long story short, I took the Famous Artists Course
A correspondence course through the mail
Two or three lessons into it
Along came the opportunity to be hired as an apprentice
In the art studio of a large engraving company
I jumped at the opportunity and the rest is history
My career as a graphic designer was launched
The more successful I became
The more my inferiority complex gradually disappeared
My success gave me the much needed self confidence
One that has successfully guided me through life
There you have it... my story, such as it is
Not the most inspiring but at least it was uniquely mine
I am no longer that insecure soul from many years ago
Which perhaps you've noticed!!!
Watching the movie "Wizard of the Oz”, what do I see,
Cowardly lion does not have courage,
"Courage! What makes the flag on the mast to wave?",
'What others have got that I ain't got with lack of self-confidence? '
'What others have got that I ain't got with lack of self-confidence?'
Whenever I tried to create my image,
I felt ignored, lonely, and found no one listening to my nervous voice,
Fearful and hurt, I was losing my self-confidence.
Fearful and hurt, I was losing my self-confidence,
Till I heard the voice, Look over your audience,
Speak your heart out, let the people hear in silence,
Think of the ways to build your self-confidence.
Think of the ways to build the self-confidence,
Overcome the despair with the visions of hope,
Overcome the fear with acts of self-assurance,
As a last act, think you are as superior than anyone else.
Competency is living your truth
Creating your life, as if it was never really here
For it is not and cannot be as long as you are there
Looking out of a fishbowl
That needs to be broken
So you can swim in oceans, not bowls
Respect yourself enough to take the action steps now
Do not squander ten or thirty years wishing aloud
For the things you were never brave enough to go after.
Run with all of your might
Toward the you whom you have
Yearned to know since the beginning.
Pick up your sad sorry self, and wipe the
depression off your chest. scrape it with a pancake spatula
throwing it onto the sorry gray tile you have always hated
Set fire to the TV and the computer.
You are opportunity.
You are possibility.
You are invincible.
Go out naked, into the light.
Throw open the sun.
Just go,
Create the faerie pirate queen
You know is inside pounding to get out.
I am but an outcast member
Misfortune led my reputation astray
Fake people led me to nowhere
So it's futile to prolong my days
If only I were more rich in hope?
I am a lion missing from its pride
Predatory dominance expelled me
Roars of strife that cut to the inside
Casted me out to the open where I'm free
I am more fierce than the break of dawn
I am an exemplary rebel of the millennium
Integrity, honour, and bravery is what I live by
To see conformists act as wrongdoers,
When it's total hypocrisy, for the time is nigh
A dawn of a new age awaits
Now I am a man more rich in hope
Pride and self-confidence absorbs me
So if you ever want to start a riot
And you want to be free
Better call King Pariah who will help you see
