Boundaries

​Boundaries is something we all need to learn
For some it is easy, they stay back and don’t give their view
For others, they want to question and want to find a clue.

Boundaries is about distance and respect, 
You never know when someone shall snap, 
The questioner comes with good intentions, yet respect the boundary that’s where it’s at.

Boundaries is a persons safe space for somewhere they can speak 
That person will open up if they want too, and at the time they feel meek.

Boundaries is your right for no person to give their view,
answers aren’t always the solution from the person you speak too at that particular moment in time
You are not their therapist, and it’s not for the other person to surmise. 

Respect the space and if the person wants to open up, they shall,
It’s their journey after all, as all we want is to lift their morale.

Thank you for today

​I here today 
I am grateful for that, 
I have tried my best to plan, but today is simply where it’s at. 

Thank you for today 
I pray a blessing for you all,
None of us are perfect, and faced the calm before the fall. 

Thank for the people who receive this message, for they are a true blessing, 
These are words I say to myself too, which I am often confessing.

Thank you for your life
Thank you for being you, 
Despite the imperfections we all have, a blessing is always believed as true.

Lost… but now found

​I faced the hardest fight to ever endure 
Losing a love one and leaving the house which I once had my best friend in, 
I was losing, sinking fast as rejection felt like a chance to a win. 🤣

I lost my mate, my Father
But I know he is up there praying over me, 
I can’t see him today, but I feel him in my heart as one day well shall all be free.

One day I will be with him
All the good ones have gone first!
I struggle some days that he isn’t here today
As drink was my vice, as thereafter addiction was the fight I needed to obey.

I am fighting today, 
And I suggest yo do the same….
Don’t worry about my mindset, that’s for me to deal with because I am trying all the time
I am not here to give up, just propel what I am about to unwind. 

Today is a new day
A day to heal every step of the way, 
May the hope inside your heart continue to hold you close
I can now celebrate with a Diet Pepsi.. as it’s time for a toast.

Discipline (Type 1 diabetes poem)

​We want a off day
But we aren’t allowed, 
I feel we are fighting a battle, but often looking upon a cloud. 

Don’t get me wrong
I have learned so much about myself when I have had insulin dependant condition,
I feel tired and lethargic, but I know I can only relay on my own permission.

I face the fight everyday
People in my situation will also be able to relate,
I know I get on with it, but when I am faced with a hypo then often I am in a right two and eight.. (*state).

I have learned so much about myself
People to avoid when facing a trail, 
And the people I don’t mind being around, and if they have empathy they are allowed to be around for a while. 

Tomorrow is another day
I may, or may not see it, that depends on God’s final say
I know I have been advocate for this condition, as I am blessed to be here for today.

2056

​“what was it like back in 2026?”
“Well there were plenty of phones we called smart, 
sometimes they took our minds as well as our hearts”

“Was it nice those days?”
“People were polite, but when we met they took their phones out to read, or send that message which was important indeed.”

I suppose those days were polite but often fickle,
People smiled at you but their intentions weren’t worth a dime or a perhaps a nickel.

We had computer games and just like today everything was virtually digital,
They called it the ‘progressive’ generation but no human contact. That’s what I call brittle.

Today is advanced
It’s a shame we don’t talk to each other more, 
hiding behind a message rather than speaking to their face to the core.

Today is what it is 
We can only do the best we can, 
People’s communication skills are reduced that’s what 2026 and before took in hand.

I don’t hit, I don’t bite

​I don’t hit and I don’t bite, 
I speak to my higher power throughout the day as well as the night. 

I like to connect
Get to know you more, 
I am not being nosy, the words won’t go anywhere else, 
I am just expressing my thoughts, from this time that I have felt. 

I have never been understood, 
But don’t worry about me, 
I am not bothered now, especially at the age of 53,
I am now accepting this is who I am, simply me.

I like to write because conversation is a hard thing for others to do, 
I rather chat and speak about something interesting, and I am not talking about the news.

I am about entertainment, love, romance and my God who is all around
May the heavens open, through the peace that I once allowed myself to surround.

The best version of you

​Look at yourself
Ask the question “what will make you feel better?”
I am often asking that question what shall make it ‘alright’?
Looking to the moon and stars as the answer is openly insight.

We love our friends and family, those we want to be around,
No more proving a point, arguments on that level make no sense
Polar opposites can make it far too intense.

Look at yourself, and say good morning to God each day
Don’t be angry to start this first breath you release when eyes are awake,
We have all been in positions where we have almost lost and verge to have breaker.

Look at yourself, and try to refuse the news
Look to yourself first… that’s the humour, internalising and often seen to amuse. 

Look to yourself 
Like what you see, 
I love you and me today.. as the paradise in heaven will set you free.
