Lazy Daisy sat on a couch
Lazy Daisy was a slouch
All the free money
And all the free checks
Couldn’t give Daisy some self respect
A upholder strong, bold, and courageous
Belittled and trivialized
Accepting truth; she's bon a fide
Speaking up for self became contagious.
Enter now, the quiet chambers of your mind.
Continue through the doorway of wisdom & deep Intelligence. Close the door behind you.
Now you are home.
All you want is sex
Because it was everyday with your ex
But please don't vex
Because I am not an object of pleasure
At your leisure
That doesn't last eternity
Because I have my dignity
You enter and leave his house
Only in the dark
Like a scurrying mouse
You enter and leave his house
When none can notice
Self respect you lack
You enter and leave his house
Only in the dark.
Where did my love go
And the self-respect?
Where did my love go?
It's not what I'd expect!
How can one be so cruel
To just stomp the golden-rule!
Reprecusions in the life
so hard to get rid of strife?
Form:
Saying "thank you"
Best compliment
To helping hand.
Admit you're wrong
Is humbleness
Down earth virtue.
Show up on time
Is discipline
Is at its best.
Listen not break
Is self-respect
To whom who talk.
Listen to poem:
in my youth
i was in love
it was hard but
i once left the boy
for whom I cared so much
I told him he didn't
love me enough
he just asked
'what do you mean?'
to which i said
'exactly'

I loved you much more than myself losing my self respect!
I know it hurts but you were my parasol.
Evil chanted it's whimsical words I guess.
You have changed I mean it!
It's like broken mirror, can't put it back together
Live life large
Sample every flavor
Pause before it’s gone
Which ones did you savor
Neither life nor you were perfect
Admit it was so ~ for your own self-respect
They talk down
like they paid for my syllables,
and rented my home.
but I’ve bled on too many syllables,
to bow,
too my high rent and my soft voice.
if you won’t meet me eye to eye,
don’t ask why I walk alone
with my head still up.
Don't scream about equality.
Life's unfair, that's reality.
Just do the very best you can
to be a truly worthy man.
Productive work and mind said Marx,
beget the humanizing sparks.
Self-worth and self-respect, said Rand,
can make for ouselves a better land!
strange relief, since she left,
he had been feeling so right,
though down and out, yet so
exhilaratingly high and light,
so unexplainably much better
though beaten and battered,
his self-respect stood strong
where it ultimately mattered.
I cry silently,
My soul has wounds.
My breath pins,
In my chest.
My eyes tired,
Heavy, dry, & red.
My rest brings,
No comfort.
My face is empty,
A person not there.
Lost is my soul,
Wondering within.
Disconnection,
Punishment,
Withdrawal,
Unbearable.
People may not know,
what you hide.
Behind closed doors,
your true side.
Lack of self respect,
and pride.
You try to be strong,
part of you has died
All the times you cried.
Telling everyone you fine,
even though you lied.
You hid it well,
or atleast you tried.
"All a man really wants, is a girl who looks good in a bikini." - Jack Freestone
Upon your mind set it purely depends;
Self-respect of girls it greatly offends.
Men, tighten all your minds’ screws;
Picture yourselves in their shoes.
A view of this kind surely needs amends.
Don't scream about equality;
life's unfair, that's reality;
just do the very best you can
to truly be a worthy man.
Productive work and mind, said Marx,
beget the humanizing sparks;
self-worth and self-respect, said Rand,
can make this place a better land !
I wish I wouldn't try to be perfect
When I know it can never come to fruition
Perhaps I do it for the self respect
Maybe I do it for the recognition
Always I try to keep it all correct
Always I fail, and let it fall away
I wish I wouldn't try to be perfect
I wish I wouldn't try to be perfect
The humble soul has self respect
Treat others how you would choose be treated
The apple falls from the tree
for you to take freely - the tree giving
There is a courteous respect
when you look to another - inferior to those around you
holding yourself in lesser importance
and not centred on self
Form:
The world is a cruel place,
That needs much respect,
As bad things can happen,
When you would least expect,
It comes as a shock,
Like a bolt out the blue,
Your life spirals down,
And what's left is on you,
To pick up the pieces,
And somehow connect,
The pieces together,
Your new self respect.
Earlier this morning I was enlightened by a poet's post and felt the need to express my thoughts in the following lines ~
It's far better we write to please ourselves
and ignore the negative criticism of others
than to write in order to please the public
and forfeit our integrity and self-respect
On unbearably pleasant days
she beckons the ferryman
to taxi her to the
dark places of her past
to stock up on bitterness,
envy, rancor
a delusional cocktail for the
attention-starved addict
with the trademark, fatalistic,
false sense of power.
Self-respect makes a break for it
while she coddles demons in her sleep.
Form:
To you who truly treasure self-respect,
has there been a humiliating
instance
when to succumb low, and sheepishly so,
to public opinion's
preponderance
is neither a betrayal of your worth
nor a slap to your reason's
countenance?
and spinelessly you go, float with the flow
of popular passion and
circumstance?
The things addiction took from me
My Lord
My family
My goals
My career
My friends
My self- esteem
My self- respect
My pride
My compassion
My mind
My heart
My soul
My freedom
&
My health
Addiction took everything from me
I thank you Lord for another day clean
