If you are content, you are very satisfied and are feeling happy.
It is nice to feel this way, better than when you feel crappy.
You’re content if you know your problems, and solutions too.
You gladly start each day with a clean slate, ready to start anew.
You enjoy a work life balance, and set goals you can attain.
Say no to things, to say yes to yourself, and show some refrain.
There are things that you can do, to make you more content.
Make your attitude in life, be one that you want to represent.
Practice gratitude, and stop buying things you don’t really need.
Because you will want bigger and better things, which shows greed.
Stop comparing yourself to everyone, that is the thief of joy.
We all do this though, it doesn’t matter if you are a girl or boy.
Helping other people, will bring joy into your life, that is certain.
This makes you happy, because you helped someone who was hurtin.
Be satisfied with the things you have, and always strive to be better.
It is better to grow as a person, than having an ugly Christmas sweater.

THE RULES DON’T APPLY
Nick Shockney, the current CCPS Assistant Superintendent broke the law and it was covered up. This poem odd to blow the whistle on this behavior and hold him accountable for his actions, once and for all B
PERSPECTIVE AND IDENTITY
If I see a six, and you see a nine; No perspective, needs a redefine. Perspective, lies in the beholder. Each is found, above the shoulder.
FREE TO LIBERATE
Every American has the liberty to simply choose. Too many give that right up, for too many views. Your choice might not be the same, as my choice. Your choice isn’t better, making me lose my voice.
CENSORING MY VOICE
Don’t silence my voice, if it’s different than you. My opinions are many, they are not just a few. How can I stay quiet, when i was mistreated? The silent, give it permission, to be repeated.
EFFORT ITSELF
Any effort starts with the decision to just try. Effort requires energy, for us to then apply. A decision of effort, starts inside of our brain. The brain’s nueroplasticity, is what we’ll gain.
GET A GRIP ON YOUR GRUDGE
It is a hard feeling, when you hold a grudge. You can’t let go of the past, and won’t budge. All of the future is blurry because of the past. They blur together, as time has then amassed.
THE COLORS WE ALL SEE
You will always see color, and me, will just the same. Our eyesight doesn’t need adjustment, or reframe. Color is something, we all see, with some emotion. The colors we see, set our emotions, into motion.
OPEN YOUR MIND
Everyone has different beliefs, all felt in the heart. First, you have beliefs, they make you fall apart. Untrue beliefs, are confronted from the very start. Understanding your current thinking, plays a part.
PARENTS AS ARTISTS
When your child is born, they are simply a blank slate. They are but a canvas, for your artwork to demonstrate. Artwork, is not a duplication, but an opportunity for art. No formula or directions are given, right from the start.
