Break The Cycle

Anthony2 Comments

Break the cycle

Bust up the streak

Try your hardest

More than a week.

–

Against the flow

Walking up stream

Use all you know

Achieve your dreams.

–

Nothing easy

Is worth a damn

Head winds, breezy

Push if you can.

–

Closer you get

Steeper the road

Leave no regrets

Nothing you’re owed.

–

You’re in control

Not the outside

Climb out that hole

Remember, pride.

–

Build yourself up 

Know that you’re great

You’re far more tough

Don’t hesitate.

–

Go for the gold

While you still can

Future you hold

Not, also ran.

–

And in the end

Your heart and soul

Poured out my friend

To fill that hole…

Entropy Works

Through chaos comes organization.

Everything settles back down to normal.

Sit still, quietly for a moment, you’ll see it.

Everything happens for a reason, you just need to be far away enough to see it.

Don’t worry if you can’t see the road ahead it goes in the right direction.

Be the change, light the way for everyone in the future.

Be the spark that ignites them all, aflame.

Show everyone that change is the key to everything and staying stagnant is death.

As you grow, your world will grow, and your life will grow.

Be, that, change…

Nostalgia or Change?

AnthonyLeave a comment

Wonder where I’d go

if I had a time machine.

Change some decisions

Formerly made with regrets

Relive pasts that I forget?

–

Or maybe go back

And meet with my younger self

Giving grave warnings

About desperation’s hell 

To live a life of my dreams.

Graduating in life

Can cut like a knife.

–

The rights of passage

Are through our assuage.

–

The world has turned

With each lesson learned.

–

Rising up from the dirt

Evolving with

change and hurt.

–

With all triumphs and falls

Remain true to you, through it all.

–

Clean up the mess

Hope for the best

Moving on to the next test…

Written for the word of the day challenge. Today’s word was graduate.

Graduate

Standby and steadfast.

Do not get caught up in the past.

–

Be vigilant be brave.

It’s a soul you gave.

–

Step slowly but consistent.

Change is hard, challenging resistant.

–

With each movement raise the bar.

Lesser versions of you afar.

–

Lessen your focus at progress slow.

Or easily frustrated at the pace of the flow.

–

Be present be here be now.

Enjoy your journey anyhow.

–

No one can ever take it away.

From today to your dying day.

–

Stand tall look how far you’ve come.

It’s all of the journey not the sum.

–

For one day, you’ll arrive at journey’s end.

And be actualized, whole, complete, my friend….

Hey There, Watson

Hey there, Watson what did you do?

Where has life landed you, friend?

Tell me tales of what you’ve lived through.

And how on earth they all will end?

–

I traveled deep into the darkness.

And I found light on the way out.

Most of my lessons far from harmless.

But that’s what my journey was all about.

–

Countless persons, experiences and such.

Formed the lessons I referenced before.

Love and strength were my only crutch.

Venturing past each slamming door.

–

What can I tell you my dearest friend?

Of what this world has given me.

Realities harshness doesn’t end.

Or a sweet reward of liberty.

–

Loving hard is not enough.

For person’s not worthy of a love.

No peace or beauty can be rough.

When all they do is push and shove.

–

Changes happened at this point.

An adoration for me I did find.

My gifts and talents I anoint.

As strength and power fill my mind.

–

The answers all kept coming.

To the questions remaining in my life.

With all my passions continuously summing.

I found the courage to leave my wife.

–

Toxic narcissism was her art.

From the beginning of our life.

Only when we were apart.

Did I realize I never had a loving wife.

–

Moving to a far away land.

I began the changes that never end.

Feeling empowered and really grand.

Starting affirmations I became a best friend.

–

A new career, no longer a phony.

I started writing for a living.

Helping me pay my alimony.

And providing me was sorely missing.

–

Purpose, usefulness, and daily challenge.

Or a steady part of my career.

This is how I get my revenge.

Building a future not muddled, but clear.

–

Final words my friend for you.

We can drop a needless fuss.

The brightest future now in view.

Succeeding example for the rest of us…

Evolve, Softly

AnthonyLeave a comment

pick up weary pieces on the ground

then pick yourself up without a sound

–

no words as they don’t matter

massive changes can make your life shatter

–

but a stagnet life goes nowhere

clutched hands in face pulling hair

–

if you don’t act you’ll never change

grow evolve and rearrange
