LENSES





I struggled for too long
Being who I wasn’t
Fitting  my circle into other people's 
perfect squares -- into all their
expectations for me
Their perception was all that mattered
What they will see and say
Their standard for success and achievement

I showed up acting who I wasn’t
Like a dancing monkey
under obligations to perform magic
To gain their recognition
and affirmations
for being who I wasn’t
Against being Me

I broke the chains and gained freedom
the day I stopped looking at myself
through other people’s lenses
because I discovered
people wore lenses
tinted and shaded to suit them
not Me

I WILL TRY AGAIN

Failure smile with a stern look Beckons on my deflated ego Whispers the blatant questions What have you learnt? Go, try again
I am not afraid to try again If I didn’t make a move I wouldn’t have If I had stayed same I wouldn’t have If I wasn’t thirsty for a change I wouldn’t have
I will try again Sure I learnt I am not afraid to try again
Not ashamed to try again For in that failure I have learnt not to do it that way again Discovered that failure is a ticket to try again Ticket to do it better Not a ticket to give up
Missing my steps and facing its bruises I have learnt to be careful the next time If I never tried I wouldn’t have known better Failure is not a death sentence to my dreams But a live wire to a better me
I choose to see the bright side of it I choose to count my losses for good I choose to make them a part of my success story I will try again

PEACE OF MIND

Peace of mind When I have done all I know to do All I need to do All I can do All I am meant to do
Peace of mind When I have said the truth Stood by the truth Stood for what is right
Peace of mind When I have played my part Given my best Given my all
Peace of mind When I have worked in love Shared my heart Shared my moments
Peace of Mind When I am at peace with all men Peace with all things Peace with Me
Peace of mind When my heart is right with my Maker I do His will He speaks to me
Peace of mind When I know all things are working together for my good
Peace of mind
