When your ship has flipped, exposing the hidden under;
Do not fret and choose to focus on your biggest blunder.
For what you are able to now see, was really there all along.
It may not appear to be like the others, but it isn’t wrong.
It is just the inverse of what the others choose to see.
This makes it differently different with some diversity.
The trip to sea may be different without a great big flip.
An acrobatic feat is needed, in order to invert this ship.
For as the sailing there, both could sail through the sea.
One would sail with ease, but the other might not agree.
We spend our time comparing ourselves to that of others.
We focus on what they want, and not on our own druthers.
What we want from the ship determines what we really need.
Is this ship for living, or one meant to travel at great speed?
A ship can travel through the ocean or it can be your house.
It can be for just you, your family, or for you and your spouse.

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.
