The Current State
From fantasy’s lesson, a discomforting grace,
To leave the soft cushions, to quicken the pace.
No use for applause when the effort is done,
The reward is the moving, the stream-lined run.
Health, mind, and market, a synchronized flow,
One direction for striving, a seed left to grow.
To honor the strength, to read silence with care,
Convert the jaw’s tension, let kindness be there.
Reflection and Wisdom
Love’s self-respect chosen, a paradox vast,
A conditional shelter where respect must last.
If hurt by another, the first love was flawed,
For self-love’s the center, the truth to be awed.
The world stands wide open, no closed actions bind,
Whispered intentions that train the quick mind.
To teach how to build, not just which way to choose,
No judgement, no ego, no time left to lose.
ISlight Tone of Playfulness/Silliness
I’ll take the whole blame, the delay is my thoughts,
A parade of distractions like dancing polka dots!
My body resists speed with a curious whine,
A comfort zone bubble, oh, so very divine!
I’m running from problems, but wait, here’s a twist,
The solutions are quicker, they spring from my list!
I’ll master no master, just play my own game,
My laziness longs to be lazier, for shame!
Pain and Loss
The suppressed self suffers, deprived of its light,
Unable to feel love, trapped deep in the night.
The freedom is shedding, a season’s defeat,
Choices are many, but confidence is obsolete.
A stuck inward struggle, no outward push left,
The tragedy seen, but of painful action bereft.
Like a shattered connection, the dependency kills,
The warmth of the bond drains, leaving only the chills.
Rebellion and Determination
Burn the old script! I’m a rebel, a fire,
A new program forming, fueled by strong desire!
To choose the hard path, to move with sheer might,
To defend and to strike, hidden from all sight!
The facts are not fixed, they won’t hold me down,
I’ll break every limit and take back my crown!
No time for your papers, I tear up my own,
The energy commanded, resistance is overthrown!
