if you Are addicted
by self
you won’t need alcohol
for drink
your self is so good
addiction can always be there
talking to self
understanding self
in-depth
in more
dwells
little
in little there is more
go discover self
despite
everything ahead
go find your self
in crowd of pain
and upset
feelings don’t sharpen
the mind
as much no feeling does
for silence teaches
more than
the words
there is
advocacy
of input
but you need
your own
what it takes
a flower
to bloom
only the
plant knows
not me
nor you
go create
your own space
within of you
this is right
this is all set
as right
for you to
re-begin
as you

A New Taste
I have you every tried a new flavor of something that the ingredients sounds strange but when you mix together it taste just right. well baby that's you .Together we make this crazy,fun,joyful,peaceful cookie n'cream Ice cream. From the way we make each other melt when seeing each other and stick together in every sticky situation.I pray this my last time finding new love I want this new love to grow old but never lose its spark and stay lit, I know we will bump head fighting ,kissing loving and making up.We might fall down but lets not fall apart. your body may change but it wont change the way I look and you knowing you have beautiful heart that match your face,and a bright soul that lights up the smile on your face that's why my days are never dark when you come around even when its raining I know my sunshine here right next to me

Peaceful Purpose
I have noticed that in the professional sphere, as far as I have noticed, that many people choose to come to work, mainly with the intention of collecting a paycheck, which I completely understand, unfortunately, we all need money to survive in this world. I also feel very strongly about the fact that if you are going to work in a profession, you should certainly treat that profession, whatever it may be, with the dignity that its purpose entails, whether you are working in the medical field, or working at a fast food restaurant, you should do you best to do the best job you can, because when it comes right down to it, we are all humans, going through the trials, and challenges that this life can bring us, by working together.
