Just like a philosopher can never throw away his stone, the poet can never toss his pen out the window
It is fun to have fun, but you have to know how.
Dr. Seuss
Woof! Barked the dog on the roof Stranded About to whimper When a whisper reaches its ear Shhh! Salvation is on its way So please, hush Don't cry You are not going to die.

Choose your thoughts how you choose your clothes. Make sure they are the best fit for the time, place and location.

When you're struggling to succeed And feel like throwing the towel in Just remember Bad times don't last forever When your efforts have been in vain And giving up becomes an option Just remember Bad times don't last forever When your endeavors end in failure And quitting seems all but easier Just remember Bad times don't last forever

When anxiety bites
Or the grip of
depression looms
I stare at the moon
🌑
Observing its surface
The subtle shades
The patterns caused by
eon old impact craters
🌑
Mesmerised by its
dim
shimmering light
🌑
As I contemplate
my breathing slows
calm comes over me
🌑
For the moon’s beauty and radiance
brings tranquility
Give without remembering and always receive without forgetting.

The first time i wrote a poem i was only fifteen and i wanted to write about the girl I’d seen, who’d captured my heart with her beauty and inspired me to express it through poetry.
In the library at school is where it transpired, this process of writing what i hoped would be admired by the chocolate skinned, brown eyed fair who made me stare so that i began to dare that one day she would be mine.
The first time i wrote a poem i didn’t think it was poetry. I was seated behind a desk in the library with a pen in my hand and a piece of paper on my table. The smell of ink hung heavy in the air. Will i be able to paint a pretty picture of her with nothing but words? Was one of the many thoughts that coursed through my mind.
Oblivious to the existence of any poetic techniques except for rhyme, it was a poem to be laughed at by poetic geeks. But somehow i had the courage to share it with her the next day,
and to my delight, she liked it and wondered if she could keep it.
So with positive feedback in my pocket, to enhance the confidence in my ability, to with a pen in my hand create reality, I was set on a journey of self-discovery through poetry.
The first time I wrote poetry I was only fifteen. Now I’m twenty two and long has it been since the first time I wrote poetry. Back then, i was clue less and did not know how to do it. But little did i know that six, seven years later, poetry would be my savior. My one. And only lover.

Gratitude is good.
when times are bad because you lost a loved one don't be sad just be glad because you are alive. when times are bad because you are homeless i know it's hard but just be glad you are at home in the universe. when times are bad because your hearts been broken by a lover i know you will hurt but just be glad you can still piece it back together. when times are are bad because someone stole your bed now you can't sleep and dream deep don't get mad just be glad you can dream without needing to sleep. just be glad no matter the weather through good times and bad times just be glad that you are not sad.
