‼️THE SECRET OF SUCCESS‼️

‼️THE SECRET OF SUCCESS‼️

‼️THE SECRET OF SUCCESS‼️

Here is a secret
I have to tell
It’s about success
And how to do well

Wake up people
Listen to me
I’ve been there
And I did see

Every day 
That you start
With only half
Of your heart

Is a day 
That you waste
As you try
To make haste

Nothing’s ready
Or prepared
Not even coffee
And you are scared

Upon 4 wheels
You’re on your way
With this in mind
Another bad day

No time to stop
Onward you move
Before you know it
You find your groove

The time on your wrist
Is a quarter to 2
Butterflies flutter
Inside of you

What takes place soon
You’ve contemplated
It’s time to change
Too long you have waited

You didn’t know then
What you know now
And this you believe
You’ll do it somehow

To take a great leap
And turn a new leaf
Now that you found
Some self belief

A job is a job
Unless it’s for free
And then, only then
It’s just misery

No more unto others
To mess up your head
There’s only one you
Until you are dead

The factors that matter
Are often forgotten
Without them there
Life is just rotten

There’s more to life
Than what you acquire
It’s burning inside
Your true desire

It’s not what you have
Nor your address
So open your heart
And reassess 

All that you need
Is right at your door
Everything else
Is what’s in store

Forget what you hear
When you’re told that you can’t
“There’s always a way”
Should be your new chant

Taking a chance
Is better than none
It’s often better
When you have done

All that you can
And give it your best
The secret to life
Every day’s a success

‼️JOY IS THE WAGE‼️

🔴‼️JOY IS THE WAGE‼️🔴

To feel so forgotten

In daily routine

Is just not living

It really is mean

How many times

Do we have to knock

Before we find out

We have a block

How do we feel

Results from thoughts

Refuse the “why’s”

And replace with “why not’s”

Sometimes we collide

With those in our passion

We trend the pages

With our common fashion

Every melody sung

Reveals a new word

It’s never the same

Each time it is heard

Sometimes it lasts

And others short lived

When the song is over

The composer forgives

Accept the drama

Acknowledge it so

Forgive self first

Adjust and let go

Do your best

Answer yourself

There is inside

A little smart elf

The message you send

And ones you receive

There is a reason

You have to believe

Answer the voice

God’s whisper in you

Apply it to others

This you must do

There are the reasons

And so many answers

Sing your own song

And move like dancers

When you do what you like

It all depends

If you you like what you do

Make no amends

The gift of a poet

Upon this page

Was meant to share

Joy is the wage

‼️NOTE TO DO‼️

🔴‼️NOTE TO DO‼️🔴

My pen wont speak
My hand is weak
My voice I’ll use
My words amuse

There is some way
That I can say
To myself
And no one else

Dear me within
I lost my pen
So I will say
And record away

Keep this phrase
It does amaze
Such power words
When they’re heard

It’s very hard
To look at you
When the mirror
Shows you true

This is your face
Not your soul
It looks tired
When you’re not whole

Now do this
Command your smile
Look at you
Just for awhile

What comes next
Paraphrases
“I love you!”
To self a-blazes

As you look
Don’t turn away
Bring self back
Fix your display

Now just smile
Right at you
No pen is needed
To do this too

It may seem silly
And absurd
But listen please
To every word

“I love you!”
With a smile
Said to you
From inner child

Each time you do this
Every day
Suffered feelings
Creep away.

‼️THE BOX‼️

‼️THE BOX ‼️

A box has 8 corners
Each corner has 3 way
6 sides it does have
But does it have to stay

The size doesn’t matter
When you’re looking at it
Unless you do perceive
It can alter in a minute

We don’t always see
Beyond our 3 dimension
Oh the time it takes
Expanding comprehension

The height is after all
Every single minute
The same as it’s width
If a cube is how you see it

An altered misconception
Or single minded clause
It isn’t just as is
Nor only just because

Unlock the box’s secret
Propelled by your own view
Looking more outside
And pass the box you do

Oh silly and so simple
Was genius standing there
Smiling now you’ve found
The clue that he left there

The answer is perception
And pushing it to prove
Allowing this conception
You really find your groove

Thinking is an action
It’s always there in you
When given running shoes
Your brain is running too

There always is an answer
It may not match your quest
And knowing there is more
Is really just the best

In optical illusions
We think our eyes have missed
For what you see before you
Is what the brain dismissed

A fraction of a second
Is never cut and dry
No time can be precise
If numbers never die

In mind’s consideration
There is another piece
Something for the brain
And knowledge to increase

Inside the box you’ll find
A secret hidden key
It’s value is beyond
Our brain’s capacity

‼️UN-CONVOLUTED‼️

🔴‼️UN-CONVOLUTED‼️🔴

When I read

I will find

Many phrases

Are unkind

I’m afraid

To unwind 

And forget

I am not blind

What is written

Is designed

Advertising is

Streamlined

But if I stop

I am inclined

To disallow

And be confined

Read I must

We are assigned

Conscious thought

In human kind

When I see

What is refined

It is amazing

Unconscious mind

What before me

And outlined

Brings me to question

My peace of mind

Interactions 

With mankind

Allows the future

It is assigned

No one knows

It’s not defined

These are the ones

I like to find

Integrity is really great

Some Leaders like to legislate

There are some who have no choice

It’s just designed? No inner voice?

The ones who honour 

With love inclined

That dignity

Is first assigned

It’s simply stated

And so signed

When we are born

The right of mankind

When you read

Just bear in mind

Some convolute

It is designed

When you see

This frame of mind

Un-Convoluted

Your mastermind

‼️TASTE TO HUNGER‼️

🔴‼️TASTE TO HUNGER‼️🔴

It’s what we breed

And will proceed

After we’re done

If we had fun

Every person

Breathing air

From all over 

Everywhere

In human form

Do not conform

For in the mist

Is catalyst

We live on earth

And then we go

The impact felt

To those we know

Passions felt

It’s your account

So share the deal

And make it count

Deposit well

To your wealth

Never take

From your health

Live your passion

It’s your dream

Inside your head

You will scream

Humans here

With attitude

Some are nice

Some plain rude

Souls unite

Many fight

Love your neighbour 

Is the flavour

When you find

What you do well

It doesn’t help

If you don’t tell

When it gets rough

We all know this

Time seems slower

It’s a process

We cannot rush 

An hour glass

The sand inside

Has time to pass

There’re visuals

In front of you

Something else 

Inside of you

What needs to grow

Must be fed

Some pictures fill

Inside your head

What you imagine

You can do

Only happens

If you chew 

Taste to hunger

Just means nothing

If you’re not happy

Doing something
