Daily Dose of Affirmation

~ thereluctantpoet

Be Inspired..!!

Each day you can journey from your Alpha (it begins with you) to your Omega, which in the teachings of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, is the point within each of us where our inner spiritual nature meets our outer worldly nature.

It is with this thought I bring to you daily dose of affirmations for your mind and soul. An affirmation a day, keeps the therapist away!!! Here are your affirmation for today :

  • I choose to focus on the positive today.
  • I am surrounded by people who believe in me.
  • I am beautiful inside out.
  • Through courage and hard work, I can achieve anything.
  • My mood improves when I exercise.
  • I am fearless.

Happy Tuesday!

Whispers of a poet's heart

I catch myself randomly

Like some obscure camera

Stepping out of my moment

Examining if this is reality

This most destructive change

It doesn’t seem like it’s real

Perhaps denial is toying with me

Perhaps wishful thinking lives

Despite the cold truth of logic

My heart is now burdened with

When I sleep, I can dream again

Of our yesterdays and laughter’s

Where possibilities are endless

Where my prayers… are answered

It’s brazened and extremely evil

The way grief creeps into our lives

Only to extinguish love before us

It’s terrifying- losing a loved one

Knowing within our broken hearts

There’s really nothing we can do

Nothing within our fixed power

To undo, the vast wreckage we feel

In our minds, souls, or lost words

We gag and choke on its sour truth

Longing to save a part of our heart

Because we’re lesser- without them

Guilt yokes us in an apathetic fashion

Adding to our raw bleeding… wounds
