Addiction
In the clutches of night, a silent war,
Against a tide, never faced before.
Yet in the soul, a flame ignites,
A resolve to win, to reach new heights.
Stride by stride, sun to moon,
Carving a path, a triumphant tune.
With courage gathered, a new day greets,
In every triumph, the demon retreats.
Addiction's chains, once tight and strong,
Break beneath wills, valiant and long.
Within each spirit, a power divine,
To turn the tide, to let hope shine.
Courageous hearts, through trials you stride,
Yet in the face of addiction,
your strength will not subside.
Self-worth
Body image and self-esteem, intertwined,
In a world where standards often confine,
Societal pressures, unrealistic views,
Shape how we perceive, the mirror's cruel ruse.
Unattainable ideals, they strive to meet,
Perfection's illusion, a daunting feat,
Magazines and screens, distorting our sight,
Planting seeds of doubt, taking root in our fight.
Yet in each soul, a unique, wondrous grace,
A beauty transcending a mirrored face,
Self-worth not defined by an image's gleam,
It's time to break free from this harmful scheme.
True self-worth's found in love from within,
Let's break free from the judgments that pin,
Embrace your essence, let self-love unfurl,
For within you lies an extraordinary pearl.
My profession is online marketing and development (10+ years experience), check my latest mobile app called Upcoming or my Chrome extensions for ChatGPT. But my real passion is reading books both fiction and non-fiction. I have several favorite authors like James Redfield or Daniel Keyes. If I read a book I always want to find the best part of it, every book has its unique value.
