We're not remembered for the pleasure we give ourselves but for the sacrifice we make for others. September 2026.

"You learn from failures; success brings pleasure, whereas failure builds experience, and experience fosters mental resilience." - Katheliyer
|
Faith in each forward step. As well as being disappointed, I have been pleasantly surprised.
|
Too many conversations begin "Please be honest" and end "How dare you say that!"

please support my younger poems on PoetrySoup under Briyanna Lawes. I lost access that login but would love for my readers to be able to interpret, constructively critique and give input regarding my voice, growth, & overall journey as an individual who always had writing as not only an outer, but a savour.
Nothing but love, respect, thanks and gratitude for all that Take the time to read my words <3

I’m so excited to come back to sharing my writing and excited for feedback and criticism to not get better. Poetry has always been so important to me.

Can’t wait to share my work to you all emotionally brliantpeo with you art of poetry!

"People won't always like you, people will doubt your music. So, keep playing, and please yourself."
|
No one can consider themselves truly mature, until they take genuine pleasure in the good fortune of others.
|
Those who seek pleasure, will also find pain. Those who seek discomfort will find strength. Do not aim for pleasure. Aim for strength.
|
I bleed burning tears, sprinkling salt on the wounds of my face, pleading for you to hear the moan of my heart.

Extreme pleasure kills as much as extreme pain. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

"Be polite and professional, but stand up for yourself when necessary - default to courtesy while avoiding passivity that enables disrespect. Take the high road, yet address harmful behavior directly and politely, saying 'please don't speak to me that way' or 'those remarks were hurtful and unjustified.' Assume good intent initially, but be firm and fair in establishing your boundaries. Give others the opportunity to recognize and adjust their conduct, promoting mutual respect."
|
"Some will hate you, some will love you , it's beyond your control. Treat all kindly, but accept you won't be everyone's cup of tea. Your worth isn't dependent on pleasing the whole world; stay grounded in your own conscience. Manage your emotions skillfully, but don't expect universal approval , it cannot be forced."
|
"You can't please everyone, and that's okay. Some people will dislike you due to differences in values, worldviews, and experiences. Instead of trying to control others' opinions, focus on being true to yourself. Reflect on feedback mindfully, and use it as an opportunity to grow, but don't take every criticism personally. By accepting that some things are beyond your control, you'll find peace and confidence in being yourself."

Memories are not always pleasant -- but they are all foundations for tomorrow...hopefully we choose our best, and make even new valleys more lush with blossoms.

A man’s penis and a snake share some similarities : both are long; both are flexible; both change in shape and in size when roused; both stretch longer and become firmer when in action; both spit out liquid (the former spits out urine and sperm, the latter spits out venom); both cannot do without holes (the former goes into a hole for maximum pleasure, the latter for safety); both recoil after sufficiently striking their targets. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu
|
Happiness is a thing of the heart. Pleasure is a thing of the brain. Both are like twins fathered by two different men. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu
|
If you’re passing through pain, endure it. If you’re passing through pleasure, enjoy it. Both are like night and day, which we all MUST pass through. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

So many lessons I have learned from the present...
Broken promises, betrayal, and situations that were unpleasant.
You'd think that I would have learned from the past
But instead, I repeat the patterns I've cast.
|
My view ahead beyond the horizon, shows a silent struggle, fought without pleasure or partnership... Alone, with only God to witness.
|
Curiosity, pleasure, and pride,
precursors of spiritual rebellion.
|
In me I confide, Please confide in me.
|
When your trail becomes steep as a mountain, get your rope, gear up, and climb. And if your path ever comes to a deadend, please choose left or right.

"People-pleasing is the sweetest way to self-sabotage."
|
I wanted to prove the doubters wrong, and those who believed in me right, I'm pleased to say I succeeded in both.
|
Pleasing everyone is impossible, but pissing everyone off is much easier.
|
Generally, 'genius' is now a word people use when they prefer a pleasant befuddlement to the effort of understanding how something was done. It is a polite means to justify mediocrity.
|
Happy faces make a difference. Please always keep smiling

“The devil creeps ever more close, and he stabs me so he knows- how close I am to death indeed. And no matter how my poems plead- he likes to sit and watch me bleed.”
|
I wandered places searching love, pleading to people in my heart - for love. But i never knew, I am what love is and my own heart is where i will find it.
