The definitive Guide to Self-Helping

The definitive Guide to Self-Helping

There comes a time in a life
When you ask yourself what is truly important
And then you have the courage
And the imperative wisdom

To execute the building
Of your life around your answer
It’s preferable to have suffered a little
It’s preferable to have struggled a little

Before you reach this point
Because only then will you fight
For what you deserve, after all that giving
Take time to be selfish, for a change

Because love, time, health and money
Are resources that can deplete at any moment
So you owe it to yourself
To be authentic and define and redefine

Your own character and life as you see fit
If today was the last day of your life
Would you do what you are about
To do tomorrow, or take another path?

If you are going to own who you are
And what you do, do it with no apology
No masks, no cover, no false pride
If you cannot keep it simple, who will

If you cannot do it honest, then what
If you can’t keep it real, then
You may regret simply doing
What was expected of you all along

The authentic self is the soul made visible
That power doesn’t come without effort.

The Sweet R e s p o n s i b i l i t y

When I wrote on my door
That I wanted to leave my old life
I became a poet of my future
It was hypocrisy to dare
To leave the house that I had bought

I had to sell my old self
To the highest bidder, divorce
Tell me kids I still loved them

Not a soul dared to
Visit me on the other side
I had walked across the garden

Into a new life, where existed
New people to suit the new me:
All that spirits desire, spirits attain
Resting in reason, moving in passion

Across the veils, until sharing pleasures
Become a spiritual thing
The heart finds the sweetness of friendships
A fairly happy version of immortality.
