This is the 2nd Poem I have ever written. Same age as I wrote 'Life As A Poet.' So I'd have been 13 or 14 when I wrote this.

Hope😊

My heart will always remain hopeful… — I am respecting the universe's plan for us. But my heart will remain hopeful that this is just another crossroad or detour... And one day, our paths will cross again. And by that time— —there’s no turning back.

Self motivation

What is the Meaning of Self-Motivation? Here’s a succinct definition of the concept: “Self-motivation is, in its simplest form, the force that drives you to do things” (Skills You Need, n.d.). It’s the drive you have to work toward your goals, to put effort into self-development, and to achieve personal fulfillment.

IRONY OF HOPE Look I outcast in the dead stillness of the night When the moon is fair, full and bright On the cold cobblestone I lie Butted like the butts in a filthy ashtray Hark! Alone am left in corners dark And within just a few paces

Hope

Hope is a beacon in the night, A guiding light that shines so bright, It gives us courage to keep on going, And helps us find a way to keep growing. Hope is a spark that never dies, It helps us find the strength to rise, It gives us courage to keep on trying, And helps us find a way to keep flying.

Hope is a river that never run

Lost Soul

I was a lost soul, stuck on the dark. Wondering around if I can still go back. Collecting stones everytime I saw some - to be used as a sign where I came from. And what if the sun won't give me a light? Monsters too strong, I can't fight. I'll be begging with my knees on the ground, Please help me, don't let me drown. Honestly, I'm a man in callow. Still survives with full sorrow. I hope one day, an ethereal beauty - will soon find and get me.

Faithfulness

A faithful heart is a blessing divine, It is a gift that's so hard to define. A steadfast love that never fades away, A bond that's strong and will not decay. A faithful heart is a precious thing, It's a source of joy that will always bring. A promise of hope that will never break, A bond that will never be at stake. A faithful heart is a shelter of trust, A place of refuge when life is unjust. A bond that will never be betrayed, A promise of love that will never fade. A faithful heart is a bles

THE LIFELESS HOPE

Standing in the midnight,polishing my thought how it should be made well. Letting go my flaws,my blemish seems like a dark wine why must our parents think all we need it's education to be alright. While some graduates are like a lost souls in a desert cos they can't make the ends meet. Govt fooling us and we all rented our necks in d classroom like a withered plants why our parents minds hold it's on a wrong place while d right place could have seemed nice. We should have been taught on how we

A little kindness

We are civilized yet this life is a like a jungle, we battle not to be consumed but survive, hoping to live and see tomorrow dawn and dusk. We are all having dilemmas that disturb our peace, keeping us frozen in hot summer day, non-real phase. A life where  mind and body dwell in apart company. Some dilemma are visible and some are latent, some dilemma are durative some are brief event. Some are dealing with trilemma and infit-lemma . So I plea with all, let us share a little kindness to all, li

MY HOPE

Born without Hope as I walk through the gate of sorrow, sufferings, pain, regrets and sadness Then came a light, a hope, my hope

POEM

A Hope and Redemption for Mankind.

A spark of hope, it rained.

It rained... And while I was down, hopeless. The breeze and the liveliness brings forth a spark of hope. For the moment, nothing else matters aside the revived hope. It rained peace and it's all well.

Poem. My first kiss

MY FIRST KISS On a mountain peak so high The snow was soft, the view was grand But nothing compared to holding his hand The first time I kissed, My heart was surely blissed, My cheeks were cherry red, As I looked at my crush ahead. We walked under moonlight, Everything just felt so right, My first kiss was sweet, As sugary as a treat. His lips were soft as feather, My heart flapped like a bird's winged weather, I melted into a swoon, Thinking this moment would end too soon. The world around us v

Ray Of Hope

When darkness falls and shadows creep, And all around seems lost in sleep, A glimmer breaks through, a ray of hope, A light that shines, a way to cope. It beckons us to rise and fight, To push through fear and take to flight, To trust that dawn will soon arrive, And all that's lost, we can revive. The ray of hope is a guiding star, That leads us on, no matter how far, It fills our hearts with strength and power, And gives us courage for every hour. So when the world seems bleak and grim, And all

TIFNIT IS AT THE EDGE OF OUR HOPE

This article aims at showing how the authority as a regressive force is unable to reconsider things rationally by getting to erase the memorial roots of the seashore's residents to kick them out of their buildings suddenly in order to rebuild it afresh for the sake of making it a commidified area. We can see the extent to which capitalist society can exert its presence over the self.
