Grateful Alcoholic

​I have been given a chance in life
I have decided to take charge, but it wasn’t easy
I have done my share many times, and I have only been in the room over the year,
I was shit scare and simply lived off my nerves. Now that’s what I call fear. 

I am grateful. But only for today
That sounds I can’t be organised, yes I can, just on today’s date
That’s where I leave it to my higher power, that kind of fate. 

I thank my peers, far and wide, 
It’s God who is in charge, the one I want to confide. 

I don’t ask for advice
I simply pick up the phone and speak to a user,
I have damaged my internals so much, and feel like an abuser. 

I am an grateful alcoholic 
A person I was shit scared most of the time, 
I can’t start with one drink, and people I love do judge
So I politely f.ck them off, as today I am humble customer of A.A. And for that I shall not budge.

No matter what, there’s that four letter word.. ‘Hope’

​There is always that ‘four’ letter word,
It could be ‘love’, ‘hope’ and ‘grow’
These words lift your soul and have plenty inside of us in order to show. 

Keep going 
Don’t ever give in, 
These ‘four’ letter words have already conjured for us a resounding win. 

I am here in the present 
I don’t want small talk, 
I want to step into faith, from that side I’ll shall walk. 

It’s about belief 
All things will turn right, 
Arid the pessimists, they have no place to speak to love, growth and kindness
They are too preoccupied into blindness.

When I speak to God

​When I speak to God I know will be okay
I don’t focus on politics, or satanic gossip, those words I ignore and won’t obey.

When I speak to God I know he is fighting for you every day
You want to knock that person out, but he says: ‘remain still, I’ll fight for you’
You don’t have to wonder what brought that about 
When God speaks… you don’t need to react or even shout. 

When I speak to God, it’s the best conversation which takes place
Systems are failing us, but God won’t,
The Father’s interactions are necessary so if he says ‘no’, there is a reason why he don’t.

What I am trying to say, it’s all God’s timing
You may not know why that decision is made, 
But when I speak to the Father… there’s no one who can cause unsettlement… during today’s current tirade.

Yiayia… I see your smile

​It’s been a while since I have seen you Yiayia,
Nan to those who don’t speak Greek, 
Almost 32 years since she passed
I know God took her home 
She is inside those who she loved… and for them, you are not alone. 

She was my best friend, 
She was calm and said very little, 
Respectful, accommodating and didn’t brag what she did
Her humility is something lacking today.. and from this day I continue to miss.

Don’t get me wrong, 
The others who give me a headache now I still love, 
But this woman was protective, and is always with me… side to side and up above. 

Yiayia, I remember your qualities
Your kindness, generosity and didn’t argue like these sods do today.,
I wish there were more people like you on this earth… none of this debate, gossip and those things that shouldn’t stay.

“Miss you Yiayia. Xxx Jason your Angel…👼”

People who make you smile😉

​Cherish those who are around, 
For me, it’s those who have passed, reached the submit of heaven
I recall these people, like a child.. even when I was as young as  11. 

So where does the time go?
One minute you are child, young adult and then you waiting on heavens door,
And the ones that have gone before you are no longer here… as you continue to adore. 

And there are the moments you reminisce and that starts the waterworks for that spiritual release,
I pray to God everyday that I meet them soon, but then again I have this time on earth to cease. 

Today, I like to me alone, people calling me asking what I am doing on that day;
I know I am available but I need peace with my thoughts and with God too, for whom I prefer to stay. 

You see, the moral of this poem, embrace the people who encourage and make you laugh
They are not perfect and the time they are on this earth that won’t always last. 

Make you last impression the best one, don’t leave on sour terms
I am speaking from experience, I ostracise myself from certain individuals, from there I shall discern.

“Blessings and honour”

Wonderfully made

​Wonderfully made 
Beautifully formed, 
Is any one of us meant to conform? 

Keep learning 
Try to embrace the challenges faced, 
This world is full of technology, so manage it wisely.. 
Try to treat it without an argument… that energy should be treated lightly.

We are who we are 
No more or no less, 
Keep going, and try to punch above your weight. 
You are no less a person if others think,
The action is a soon as you blink. 

Fight the fight 
Love, learn and do something different each day,
Those who stay stagnant… tell them politely to go away.

Why I do not compare myself to others!

​Why I don’t compare myself to others, 
i am uniquely and definably me, one of a kind, 
Perfectly short, bald with glasses and almost blind🤣.

But I am comfortable being me, 
I do not want to compare myself to a movie star or someone with high cheek bones, 
I am a child of God, and I won’t blame him in front for the mirror which is available to have shown. 

I am me, brilliant, charming and don’t care what others say,
well to a degree, I do, but that’s my gentle vulnerable side showing, 
I can’t be anyone else, as in faith I am always growing.

I am me, I will not nor would. I want to compare
I understand in hope in what God has in-store.. that I am trusting in him… therefore declare.

‘Try not to compare yourself to others’
