My Poem “Don’t Stop”
Don't stop being who you are... Don't stop being what you are... Don't stop seeing the world how you want to see it... Don't stop reading into the poetry of everything... Don't stop giving your all to who and what matters the most... Don't worry about tomorrow, because the now should be your focus... Don't stop until you reach "The End" - and, even then, do not believe that that, as they say, is that - because, take it from me, the spirit of something and someone can never truly be lost. If you want to do something for yourself, for those who know you, for those who can always see the value of what you do every day, then be who you want to be - and, most importantly, don't stop!

My Poem “Out of your shell”
It is good to challenge ourselves... it is good to take on new responsibilities... it is good to do things we have never done before - in fact, it is essential in maintaining our mental health... it is good to expand our knowledge, see the sights and meet new people from different localities... it is good to be immersed in the unfamiliar... it is good to test our tolerances... it is good to let down our guard and converse with people who have different answers to the question: why are we here? it is good not to worry about if someone is watching and just do your thing - even if it leads to you involuntarily making a joke, singing, or starting to dance... it is good to look the way you want to look... it is good to have your own opinion of what is beautiful... it is good to have an imagination and to have the gift to be able to see the faces and to hear the voices of characters that you read in a book... it is good to step out of your comfort zone and embrace the opportunity to be able to fly free of your nest and naturally find yourself coming out of your shell.
My Poem “Life’s Light”
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but energy can change form... the creation of all things began billions of years ago, but nothing is as it was... people can be emotionally open and then transition into becoming closed off - even doors can change into becoming walls... you can prepare for the rest of your life, but what no one can ever be ready for is the end of days that follows a particularly painful absence and loss. Endings are necessary. Full stops are essential. Severance hurts, but sometimes it can also be seen as an opportunity. Everything big over time transitions back into becoming small. Generations leave legacies... life needs regeneration... love is a dream... in order to march every army of ideas needs the beat of a resounding drum... time is precious beyond belief... every day needs a night... the world is not all that we see... every exposure is a convergence and a prism of the fundamental colours of what makes life's light.
