There Was Apology
He said I sounded horrible
There was apology
It still hurts
A lesson for me
Of all the times
I was thoughtless
I was mean
God, please forgive me...

Welcome the Life's Challenges...
Anybody can sail with the fair breeze... It is when the seas get rough that seamanship really counts... ( source : unknown ) -
Perseverance
One breath in, one breath out.
Something I can't do without.
But there lay the opportunity--a chance.
Which I dismiss, simply at a glance.
Why try at all, when you can glide through?
That's not what I thought, when I first flew.
Everything I had, that's what I gave..
..then one day, I became a slave.
Why try at all, when others want to see you fall?
The first time I flew, I stood ten feet tall.
Tried my best, I really did..
..but all my confidence hid.
Why try at all, when it's all gonna be buried in the sands of time?
When I couldn't fly, regardless up the mountain I'd climb.
So I'll keep going, no matter what lies beyond the silver door..
..soaring into the skies, or falling down, onto the floor.

I will Survive
What are wounds?
Wounds are there to test my strengths.
To see just how much I've gone to great lengths.
Yet the deeper my cut, the more severe the rut.
What are scars?
Scars are lessons of those that hurt me.
Each one brings an expression that alerts me.
What is pain?
Pain are the fruits of my mistrusted labor.
So I must keep fighting with an adjusted Saber.
What is strength?
Strength is the result when wounds heal, but scars remain the same.
Each reminds that whatever cards I'm dealt, I must never be ashamed.
Because this is what made me became,
So I will keep this light in my soul, an eternal flame.

Bad day
Dark dreams
Nightmare's edge
Haunts every turn
Infection spreads
Fortunes sour
Irritating pemonitions tap
Wary of the mundane
Trouble arrives
Expected but unprepared
Just a bad day
Passes like a storm.

Mistakes happen, even when we know what we want. Just get back up and keep going.

The Dragon Within
Don't let their words replay
In the dark
Don't let their burning words
Leave a mark
Don't let the hate paralyze you
You are better than you think
You know it is true.
Don't listen to what people say
All of their sardonic remarks
Don't lose your way
It's their hobby to circle like sharks
But you are a dragon,adorned with scars
That speak of the battles that you have fought
Witihin your heart.
Remind yourself of the flame
That has been yours from the start
Don't surrender to their wicked game
Break the glass ceiling into a million shards.

The world may break you down and crush your spirit, but for some of us, we will continue to love no matter what. Our ability and willingness to love may change over time, but it will never be taken from us.

It's just a overrated way to become lazy.
Be unhappy so that you crave happiness, work for it.
#unlove #persevereDon't be in love
Sometimes being not happy is more productive.
As happiness invites leisure in our life.
Leisure in turn invites dullness

Life is like a race with hurdles and these obstacles comes in varying forms and height for different individuals but what matters most is how we choose to respond to these obstacles. In a hurdle race, it would be abnormal for a racer to he seen crawling underneath the hurdle and yet a devastating finish for whosoever allows the hurdle to prevent him from getting to the finish line.
Pertaining to life circumstances, these hurdle could be based on the physical, psychological, or financial aspect of our lives; which could seem to prove a barrier to our growth. I want you to bear in mind that it the challenges that make victory sweeter. Whatever you are doing either small or big, don't seek for way to run away from the challenges but rather seek for strength to overcome them and this in various cases might require you walking alone. Personally, I consider believing in yourself as the first step to achieving anything you hope for; endurance and perseverance is key as you stride along.
These hurdles also appears in our spiritual lives in form of doubts, fear, trials, sins, persecution, and the vanities of this world. However, these hurdles should not be seen as being greater than what we can surpass for God has promised that He won't allow us to be tempted above what we can handle (#1Corinthians10vs13) and He would be with us as we draw near and submit to Him, and resist the devil.
Always bear in mind that this race is not an endless one, although more lengthy for some than others. There would be difficulties, tough times but then these are the times you have to 'be strong and of a good courage', but how can we be strong or even summon courage when our strength faileth, our knees are wobbly, doubts already preying on our thoughts?
#Hebrews12vs2 says 'Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;', for Jesus indeed gave us a potent example to follow; when He was at the point of breaking down, He encouraged himself, went to the garden of Gethsemane and prayed (#Mark14vs32-36) bearing in mind that 'by strength shall no man prevail' (#1Samuel 2vs9)
My beloved brethren be willing to run this race to the end, bearing in mind that God will be with you, His grace is ever sufficient and His strength is made perfect in our weakness as long as we hold on to His will and do as He commands. Run, knowing that Jesus has gone to prepare a place for us (#John14vs1-3) and is willing and ready to receive us as soon as we get to the finish line.
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. #Matthew24vs13.
For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; #Hebrews3vs14.

Persevere
Solitary held
Miss personal interaction
Digital representation offered
On-screen and speaker sound
Yearn to touch
To be touched
Risky luxury
Time grinds on
Sunrise arrives
Confinement ends
Dance in the streets.

There are no failures; only setbacks. That is how we all learn, especially when we pick ourselves up and go bravely forward and fight on.

Detachment offers relief from the weight of the toxicity that we collect and allow to weigh us down as we journey through our day to day life. To live light is to live free. However, one must never allow detachment to overshadow ones passion to persevere. It is perfectly acceptable, even necessary to desire the better things in life. Desire creates motivation and when combined with dedicated passion they can lead to a world of endless possibilities. Through detachment you avoid falling victim to your attachments. Attachments are often temporary and can be lost at any moment. You must be able to shed the unnecessary weight of attachments when the situation calls for it as this may someday prove essential to your survival.

Down, But Not Out
How do you fight what you cannot see?
How do you do battle against feelings?
I carry the weight of crushing depression,
Overthinking has become an obsession.
Trying to keep old dreams alive,
Clinging to them just to survive.
This oozing blackness inside my head,
Comes pouring out in waves of dread.
I've fought this battle oh so long.
How much longer before I am gone?
Only fragments of innocence are left,
Crushed into dust as I get closer to death.
The time has come to be my own savior,
To find a way to change this behavior.
To break the chains of misery,
To stand up and truly be free.
