INSPIRED

I don’t believe inspiration is anything to play with, because there are so many discouraging factors around us, I find that I’m always needing a reason to go on. Sometimes I find this reason in pictures, sometimes in words, sometimes in words that remind me of a reel of pictures (movie clips or personal memories) and that in summary is what this ‘poem’ is about. We cannot afford to become too jaded that these things no longer reach us. Words, pictures, life experiences should be able to pick us up, dust us of and set us moving once again on the path to our destiny.

RELATIONSHIP IDOL

There’s a whole lot of need hanging around us as young people and this poem is a personal attempt to deride the option of treating relationships as idols; giving parts of our life’s to ‘options’ or better yet candidates in order to escape the discomfiture of being alone.
Symptoms of this will include; hiding your relationship from other people who care about you, making self-erasing sacrifices and ignoring things that are obviously wrong in your relationship.
Relationships are great things when you’re in them with the right person at the right time, but they are not everything and should not be idolized!
