Be hopeful,
Oh no,
Guess again,
Dining at NOBU,
With my friends,
Power up like Goku,
Then again,
The whole world,
On my shoulders,
Think again,
I am penning,
Then begging,
To be heard,
Why can’t I,
Obtain the things,
I have observed,
Take some time for myself,
So the stress can fizzle out,
But without my pen,
That I can use to create anything,
I can’t do, without.

About This Poem

We tend to doubt ourselves at times. The good days do come with the bad. When we compare ourselves to others, it’s not always good. We do it to compete, so we can push ourselves to the greater good. Understanding yourself, and what’s most important to you, will save your mind by letting go of the rat race and FOMO most people has, to stay true to one’s self.

Left with less,
The rest is mess,
Guess who’s next,
Minuses left on check,
No disrespect,
I am filled with hate,
They say less is best,
Obviously, they haven’t experienced,
Minuses,
However, what else is left,
I will continue to do my best,
Until my head is laid down to rest.

About This Poem

How can someone tell you what you are missing if they haven’t missed anything? Some people in our world are exposed and experienced a lot negatives and still find the courage to continue on their journey and path. They can live with less, but they don’t choose to. There is a moment when less is not the solution. It doesn’t have to be more money, power, influence, and/or material things.

The things we should not live with less of are love, appreciation, respect, knowledge, opportunity, health, and family.

There are people in this world who are there to take away rather than add. It’s the yang to the ying of the balancing of the world, I guess.
