Finessed

You always say to keep it real but the truth is that you don't really mean it.

You don't want the raw.

 You want it watered down and easy to take.

You live for those sweet little white lies.

You to always be to told how good you are, how nice you look, how sharp you dress.

The truth is no one could care less.

You want be  swept off your feet.

You want to be showered with compliments.

Being told your good isn't good enough for you.

You want to be flattered.

You want someone to be overwhelmed and thourghly impressed.

You want to be patronized.

You want to be finessed.

No way.

 You can give some people your all but that still won't be good enough for them.

If  you give them this they'll want that.

Their is litteraly no pleasing people like that.

So when you encounter  these types of individuals use the power no.

 Just tell them no flat out.

Say no with no remorse or empty feelings of doubt.

Say no until your voice goes horse.

No,I will not take you.

No, I will not wait for you.

No, I will not cosign for you.

No, I will not endorse you.

No, I will not support you.

No, I will not give you my all my time.

No, I will not listen to you vent.

No, I will not organize your life.

No, I will not lend.

No, I will not get in between that.

No, I'm not jumping in your fight.

No, I don't have time to hear your plight. 

No, your not my top priority. 

Learn to say no unapologetically. 

They didn't appreciate all the times you did not.

Say no and walk away.

If they have a problem with that then let them rot.

Time enigma

Contrary to all unpopular belief I do not heal all wounds.

However I do march on even if you stand still.

You can waste me frivoulsy or utilize me wisely.

Some people loose the plot because they refuse to take me.

I move differently from to region to region.

I am a constant.

I am ever lasting.

I never stand still.

I never change.

I'm not a magician but I can vanish in the blink of an eye.

What am I?

True path

 Sometimes the paths life takes us down does not always occur by choice but rather by fate.

We can not control what lies in wait on the other side of this door.

Sometimes it feels like we've been thrust into an internal  struggle for power....an all out war.

No opposing side is willing to stand down and then we somehow get caught in the cross fire. 

Each side tugging way at us. It begins to feel as if we're being ripped apart in different directions by each section of the opposing sides.

We can't escape it.

We can not hide.

All we can do is deal with it and adapt to it.

Any obstacles we encounter  along the path will only be a detourant to us if we give spend all our time thinking of it.

We all have the ability inside of us to rise above it.

Transparent enegma

Are you familiar with the old proverb about a tree making a sound when no one is around?

I am and It always has me wondering if it could be true.

 

That very same question can be posed about me or you.

Are you the same person even when none is looking?

You say your solid but will you fold under pressure?

You say your righteous but will you openly admit your sins?

You say you want equality for all but will you let just any one in?

You say your trust worthy but will you steal?

You say your genuine but are you real?

What type of secretes do you conceal under your progressive facade?

The truth is eternally convicting and piecers the ego like darts.

Sooner or later it will reveal everything that you do in the dark.

Are you truly who and what you say you are?

Do you really have good intentions?

Do you really have love in your heart?

Are you completely free from malice and slight?

 

Can you really walk it like you talk it?

If you are who you say you are then stop lurking in the shadows and step into the light.
