IN DAILY AWARENESS OF GOD
Do not be ashamed
Of the who and whose you are:
God is mistake-free.
You’re not challenging Him,
You’re being his creation:-
You are not evil.
God does not create evil:
Live the good of you:-
Each day you grow in goodness,
Give God Thanksgiving Praise.
You’re a God servant.
Chosen to labor in love:
Serving those in need.
Reflect Simon of Cyrene:
uplifting all who need you:-
SAILING TO GLORY
You can't rock my boat;
God’s my captain and rutter:
I am smooth sailing:-
WHOLESOMENESS
Do not be sorry,
Be aware in your nature;
Growing fruitfully
I grew up believing I was terrible at writing,
at least that's what everyone said.
It's ironic
Those voices in my head still holler loud
even though, in the end,
it's how I make ends meet
Dancing in Boulogne-Sur-Mer
I was dancing in Boulogne-Sur-Mer
when a young woman stopped me,
and said, “Madame, you are superbe.”
She told me twice, Madame you are superbe
But I didn’t feel superb.
Hadn’t for a long time, if ever at all.
How is superb supposed to feel
when you're dancing in Boulogne-Sur-Mer?
Later I visited my doctor to
ask if there was anything she could give for
treatment of the human condition; explain the
woman had told me I was superbe.
The doctor laughed, and said
there was nothing for it I could take,
apart from anti-depressants,
if you're depressed, are you, not superb?
She asked if I needed to take a break. Shall I sign you off, she said?
Maybe some time spent, alone in bed?
No, I said. She suggested I chose values,
acceptance, rebellion, indifference or hope.
I went away, bemused
realising there is no choice
to be made, you need all values
in your armour to face despair
when you’re dancing in Boulogne Sur mer.
It’s time to change the narrative
Listen to your soul,
Take a deep breath in
Breathe out and let it go.
I know it’s hard to do
But let go of all the shame,
The finger doesn’t point at you
It was him who was to blame.
When you can only trust yourself
And your mind rapidly declines,
Who is there for you then?
To help you care for your own mind?
Sometimes you have to take time out
And change your own perception,
Let the world keep spinning round
As you look deeply at your reflection.
It’s time to change the narrative
Listen to your soul….
Self belief easy for few
Battle begins at age two
There is flair to finding you
Live full truth and peaceful too
Peaceful too you want to be
To be the best others see
One who lives their bliss so fine
Worth your attention and time
I believe in purpose
Faith flowing through
Blissful appreciation for
Talents
I believe in goals
Plotting out path
Ignoring nay-sayers
Achieving your dreams
I believe in God
Helping you help yourself
Smiling delightedly.
Started realizing my hope was going towards the wrong things
Prayed every night but I never heard his voice ring, not a clue in sight on who I was talking to
Turned all that energy into loving me, choosing my faith in self belief
Empowering my mind became the main focus, going after what I was striving for instead of praying to the wall in a quiet room
Where no remorse was ever accounted for
Every goal I put out there I made happen
For every evil there has to be a righteous but not knowing where to look belittled my faith into believing he doesn't care at all
Boast and pride I wore on my chest because the woman in the mirror became the only person in the world I tried to impress
Self belief has to be the most inspiring faith there is
Rather keep hope alive in me than put it into a higher power who's love I don't receive
