WONDERFUL WONDERMINT

All things that are wonderful are really full of wonder
True beauty isn’t found on the outside but the under.
You don’t have to be right, but should always be kind.
Whatever it is that you look for, you will always find.

WHAT MAKES YOU SMILE?

Every day that we rise, we have an opportunity to hit restart.
The life that we imagine and exists should always be far apart.
For if we look at what is present, that is all there will ever be.
Imagination is more about what isn’t there than what you see.

GETTING COMFORTABLE WITH UNCOMFORTABILITY

What if we all wore a mask everyday, like it was on Halloween?
We’d all be different, making us not so judgemental and mean.
We would understand that each costume, is merely a disguise.
It misrepresents the true nature or identity, like it is a surprise.

I WILL SURVIVE!

I’ve been through a ton over the past five years.
This poem was hard to write, bringing me to tears.

FILLING YOUR CUP

At 6:30 in the morning, do you want to hit the snooze on your alarm?
Do you view that alarm to be like a bomb that you just wish to disarm.
Like many people in this world, the answer to this question is the same.
When you are slow to arise, it is really your life that you need to reclaim.

LABELS ARE NOT DEFINITIONS

People don’t need labels, to identify who they are and that they belong.
Labels are only used to spread hate and stereotypes, which is very wrong.
Labels are used for different purposes, and used in many different ways.
It’s the labeled, not the labeler, who decides if that label, is one that stays.

DOUBTING DOUBT

You are in the driver seat, and know your destination.
You are traveling to explore, creativity and innovation.
But you will have to be vulnerable to get those things.
You must be patient with the outcome your life brings.

EMOTIONAL EMOTIONS

All emotions are placed in a pot , which is starting to boil.
The pot is always covered with a lid or some aluminum foil.
You hope and pray that it doesn’t boil over and make a mess.
It will only do that if your arousal is much too high, I guess.

EMOTIONAL EMPATHY

Empathy can really only occur, in someone else’s shoes,
not from watching, the events on tonight’s evening news.
You try on their shoes, and understand just how they feel.
You can relate to their problem, predicament, or ordeal.
