Mantra I

Give yourself the courage 

to do what needs to be done.

If you believe life's a struggle,

 Know that you're not the only one.

Face each day with conviction

Don't stay on the outside looking in.

There's no action on the sideline

You must get in it to win.

Pass the Positivity

Pass the positivity

I need more on my plate

This side of  confidence

needs a perfect date.

Pass the positivity

There's so much

I must create.

Self confidence,

gratitude, strength

and courage all await.

Pass the positivity

So I can share it too.

There's more than enough

for me and a generous portion

for you

What Story Do You Want?

Tell Me a Story.

What story do you want?

One with adventure.

There are many  you can choose.

One with love.

That's a story for all time.

One with hope.

That resides within yourself.

One with friends.

You know how that one goes.

One with dreams.

Far too many to be told.

One without pain.

There's no story without that.

One with confidence.

You can create it with each step.

Tell me a story.

There's not one YOU cannot write.

Tell me a story.

You can create it on your own.

Tell me a story.

The story's yours and yours alone.

My New Ability

Congratulations to me

for my new ability

tripping over my own feet

didn't think it was a possibility

Watch where you're going

don't be in a hurry

obstacles come towards you

doesn't mean you must scurry

it all happens

in a bit of a flurry

but you've got a handle on it

there's no need to worry

Tripping over my own feet

didn't think it was a possibility

apparently the only one in my way

just happens to be me

Watch where you're going

there's no need to worry

 You've got a handle on it

don't be in a hurry

Tests are inevitable

patience is needed

listen to that inner voice

make sure warnings are heeded

Tripping over my own feet

this part of me cannot compete

with my innate ability

to believe in the stronger part of me

More Reason to Try

I'm losing my mind.
I'm falling behind
I'm finding it hard
to stay in line.

Put off to tomorrow
and here comes more sorrow
But where can I find
extra hours to borrow?

Breathe in, heave a sigh
Just more reason to try
to reclaim that
natural high.

It all works in the end
You've creativity my friend
You'll get it all done
once you begin.

Stop losing your mind
Get up off your behind
The roads not that hard
so get back in line

Kindness and Passivity

You mistook my kindness for weakness
My passivity for stupidity
Never once realizing
How strong beats the heart inside of me

Solicitous duplicity
beats at your core
I leave and you still
ask me for more


You mistook my kindness for weakness
My passivity for stupidity
Never once realizing
How strong beats the heart inside of me

Champion to none
your words came undone
Never did you imagine
I'd proudly walk away but not run


You mistook my kindness for weakness
My passivity for stupidity
Never once realizing
How strong beats the heart inside of me

Catching me came easy
Keeping me proved tough
How could I stay with you
When with you I was never enough?


You mistook my kindness for weakness
My passivity for stupidity
Never once realizing
How strong beats the heart inside of me

Smarter than you thought
Stronger than you knew
realizing too late
it wasn't me but it was you

And You Are

You're

Tired of being

taken for granted

Your head's filled 

with common sense

but in your heart's a romantic

You look in the mirror

But never realize 

your beauty and reality.

You cannot explain

what it is to be you.

But To thine own self

you must be true.

And you are 

more than the sum 

of the parts

 that you see

And you are

A belief

A celebration

An experience

And you are

A dream 

A hope

An idea

And you are

A fire

A passion

An adventure

And you are

A want

A need

An addiction

And you are

A wish

A style

An artist

And you are

A friend

A personality

An altruist

And you are

MORE

than you will begin to know

And you are 

MORE

than your heart could ever show

And you are 

more than the sum 

of the parts

 that you see.

And you are 

destined for greatness

 take it from me.

Passion's Plaything

Passion's plaything

must not be you

If you scare me

and I scare you.

What's a confident girl to do

Who needs aggressive

and that's not you?

Our mutual attraction's

Overdue

for an intimate

Rendezvous.

But if you scare me,

and I scare you

One on one won't happen

From us two.
