Mirrors
Mirrors
Mirrors do not, always show through,
The inside of the person looking at you.
Just a surface reflecting back,
The beauty you see, not what you lack.
There are many things a mirror can hide,
Not showing those who have lied.
Some act the part of who they are,
Doing this won’t get them far.
When you look at yourself in the mirror,
Not liking the image, you’ll shed a tear.
A broken mirror shattered to the ground,
With a smashing, clashing, crashing sound.
The looking-glass self is what people see,
Trying to fix it, change and be free.
No more labels, no more fear,
A foggy mirror is not always clear.
Being who people want you to be,
Finally realizing, that’s just not me.
They set a label you play a role,
That’s not how you will reach your goal.
Always know the reflection inside,
Is not the one you’re wanting to hide.
Know who you are so very true,
Believe in the hope and a future so new.
Predisposition of Darkness
Predisposition of Darkness
Predisposition of
darkness inside,
Emotionless,
abnormal, they’re wanting to hide.
Moral hypocrisy will appear,
Moral integrity not
in the clear.
Abnormal of
self-interest,
Coming off as being
the best.
When there is trauma
they have no guilt,
Fear of consequences
they have not built.
They have lack of
empathy,
Who they are, that’s
what they’ll be.
Emotions they can
regulate,
So then they can
manipulate.
Regulating emotions
they will fake,
Other emotions they
cannot take.
Socialized pathway as
a child so wrong,
They cannot place
where they belong.
This dark in them is
very cruel,
Not listening to any
rule.
Always know you
should take flight,
In darkness you will
find the light.
Empathy
Empathy
Perspective of
another you’ll understand,
Understand the
feeling you’ll lend a hand.
Lend a hand and
you’ll do good,
Doing good like you
always would.
Always would from
their place,
From their place,
hard times you’ll face.
You’ll face what is
new to you,
New to you, you will
get through.
Getting through the
way you feel,
The way you feel will
help you heal.
Helping you heal is
how you think,
How you think, is how
your mind links.
Your mind links and
you will find,
Finding thoughts in
your mind.
Your mind thinks of
how to increase,
Increase positive
acts piece by piece.
Piece by piece
perspective of another,
Perspective of
another you will uncover.
Emotional Intelligence
Emotional Intelligence
Joy is shown with a
happy smile,
Positivity is the
style.
Laughter also plays a
role,
Powerful emotions
take a toll.
Surprise is
something, sensory highs,
Flaring nostrils and
widening eyes.
Feeling startled,
doesn’t know,
Understand or where
to go.
Anger is when you are
upset,
Or how distressed you
even get.
Frustrated with what
to do,
No control over you.
Sadness appears to
shut down fights,
or even respond to
one’s flights.
Showing of a
depressed heart,
Caring emerges from
the start.
Disgust is oriented
with one’s food,
Sticking your tongue
out when things aren’t good.
It is also what we
taste,
What’s at the table
where we are placed.
Fear is the last that
we display,
Attention to what we
pay.
It can be an intense
fear of heights,
Or a situation fight
or flights.

Perspective
Perspective
No one ever thinks
the same,
It all just seems
like such a game.
Guessing about what
goes through one’s mind,
Not in the present
but in the future you’ll find.
The answers to
everything you wanted to know,
Some things should be
left to fulfill and grow.
Not everything can be
your own way,
Others also have
things to say.
No one cares, or
that’s how it seems,
In real life or in my
dreams.
Where ever I go
nothing is real,
I’m not exactly sure
how to feel.
Who can I trust and
who will I not?
That’s up to me; I’ll
decide what I want.
Put trust into those
who’ll not deceive,
Only those who’ll
help you believe.
Sometimes you just
need some space,
Some time to think in
your own little place.
A time to just clear
your head,
by leaving the past
behind instead.
This is just a
perspective of things,
The path uncertain in
this life brings.
Imagine
Imagine
Thinking to myself,
unsure of the way,
Imagine going back to
the day.
The day that it just
went all wrong,
Not knowing, where
you would belong.
A peaceful world that
we would make,
Friendships’ of
others we would not take.
Being friends of
others together,
Even through the
stormy weather.
Not leaving them to
fend on their own,
Making them feel like
they’re all alone.
Stopping the violence
visible or not,
This is just an
imaginable thought.
Trying to not cry
myself to sleep,
My pillow soaked with
the tears I weep.
Hopefully people will
start to be nice,
Not thinking about it
more than twice.
This world could be
more than good,
If people did the
things they should.
Trying so hard to
make things right,
In the future a
better sight.
Just imagine all of
this,
The things that
people often miss.
Making clear to
others so new,
So they will see the
pathway too.

Believe
Believe
Believe that there is
something more,
Out in the world
you’re looking for.
Something so
significantly mere,
Something you will
hold onto dear.
Knowing people who
are on your side,
People you trust and
those you confide.
When you cry and when
you mope,
These friends of
yours will help you cope.
Can’t catch your
breath and need some air,
They’ll be the ones
who truly do care.
The past shapes you,
to who you are now,
Negative thoughts you
will not allow.
Believe you’re the
best you can truly be,
Don’t give up and you
will see.

Motivation
Motivation
How one knows to
motivate,
To initiate their
lively state.
Features of an
action; drives, goals and needs,
Moving and intensity
and persistence leads.
Intrinsic motivation,
doing a job you love,
Something you are
good at and what you think of.
In our perceptions it
is that we live,
Plan, reflect,
self-regulate and in time you’ll give.
Knowing to move on
and progress can be made,
So your doubts and
fears will and soon can fade.
What motivates
behaviour is optimism and hope,
Always know these
feelings will always help you cope.
Instead of being
critical, foster self-esteem,
Then it is in your
life you will find your dream.

Have You Filled a Bucket Today?
Have you Filled a Bucket Today?
You will always find
a way,
Of filling your
bucket every day.
It can be to help a
friend,
Or a compliment you
can send.
You can even give a
smile,
That will show for
quite a while.
When you fill your
bucket you show,
All the goodness in
life that will grow.
Giving others energy,
So that “me” becomes
a “we”.
Let others know that
they belong,
Maybe even sing a
song.
Let everybody know
that you care,
And that friends like
you will always be there.
Happiness is just a
guide,
To what everyone will
feel inside.
With your bucket you
will fill,
So others are happy,
and they will.
