Dangers Pass

Dangers pass and collapse for the entry,
Going to them is like golden influence.
The level of pride attained by some men
Is loathed, and their arrogance is set.
Let the dangerous men be helpful to themselves,
Their thinking and emotions are so solid
As the solidity of rocks and strong materials,
But this talking of the strengths and weaknesses
Will weigh on you until the bitter end.

I think I'm good at amplifying an actor's strengths, and minimizing their weaknesses. And they all have strengths and weaknesses.

It Is as Much a Sin to Not Recognize One's Own Strengths

The Torah teacher taught on Tisha B’Av

‘It is as much a sin to not recognize one’s own strengths
As it is to not attempt to correct one’s weaknesses
The spies refused to see the strengths of the people and the land of Israel
They reported on weaknesses and fears only’

Am I the spy of myself?
And do I do nothing but lament what I am not?
Why don’t I recognize
What I have done and what I can do?

I can after all write another small poem
Even if it means using the wisdom given on our day
Of greatest national tragedy
For my own small good.

Things Sometimes Do Not Work Out The Way You Expect Them To Be

familiarity
to failure is not a easy
task, you get entangled
to a confusion
and you lose reason
sometimes

emotions pour
like lava
you have become this
erupting volcano
and time
solidifies hot magma
solid mountains
of rock
on beautiful formations
from a recent fury

like you
like what you feel
in the middle of anger
let all these make
a free flow
and simply wait and
watch

patience brings
the most beautiful
shape in you

sculpture of angry
thoughts settling
in the contours
of your peace and
quiet

then solidified
understanding
rocks and boulders
strengths and
principles and

a self newly forged
strong and bold
an edifice of
yourself now
like this new mountain
silent and daring
to nature imposing

You Can Also Do It

What one student can accomplish
You can also do, if relished.
For every student is fully furnished,
With material and mental muscles,
To sundry scholarly tasks undertake,
All school subjects understand,
And every academic errand,
Eagerly and excellently ended.
This clarifies the claim that,
You too can definitely do,
What any student can do.

Where one student can glitter
You can, if you wish, also glisten
The secret is surprisingly simple
Your strengths crystal-clearly identify
Your weaknesses cautiously classify
A sound study strategy surfaces
Making solid your strengths
Weakening your weaknesses
Empowering and propelling you
To execute every exercise
With striking success
Proving without doubt that
What one student can come through,
You can also pull through.

What one student can take on,
You can upon yourself take.
The strategies would be different,
Tailored to your varying talents,
Measured to match ones might,
Designed to dim ones debility.
John devotes two hours for task A,
Jason donates four hours for same,
Both perfectly accomplish task.
Both employ effectual tactics,
Informed by reliable and relevant input,
Distilled diligently from each student's
Position, prowess and purpose.

What one student can embark on
You can also embark upon
The secret for success is, thus, simple
Understand your weaknesses
Your strengths properly evaluate
Let these facts shape your plan
Let these data direct your path

With these specifics as drivers of your planning,
Opportunities grasped on time,
Giving time proper respect,
You can also do,
What other students can do.

You always have certain strengths and certain weaknesses, and you want to compensate for your weaknesses... I have a real duty to earn the trust of the faculty. I don't just deserve it. I have to earn it.

Arrogance Of Man

arrogance of man is a defect
what you see is what you get
they say pride comes before the fall
some can not see this at all

pride in accomplishments
pride in family
pride in self
are all good atributes
unless others are treated inferior
never looking beyond their exterior

we are all equal under gods eyes
and we all will one day die
be kind to one another
and not let arrogance
cause decay
it was never meant to be that way

The Self In The Mirror.....

the best and most
solid oneness
actually is not the family
that you always
take pride with,

Cain and Abel
they are real disappointments

you know what i mean

take yourself
and mold it well
solidity it like
a fortress against
the pirates

stand your ground
face the only enemy you
have and then
befriend it

look at yourself in the mirror
that is the best
answer.

On Top of Earth I Will Stroll

I wish someone would stop me,
And ask me why I peacock.
As if I am not suppose to flaunt,
My pride and dignity.

Only those threatened by arrogance,
Should evaluated the keeping...
Of their own insecurities.
Instead of proclaiming to be,
One who is down to Earth.

If I am not beneath it yet,
On top of Earth I will stroll.
With a flaunting done,
Undaunted.

No time do I spend,
Competing to defend...
Or understanding weaknesses,
I have taken time from myself to rid.

I've learned how to stroll,
And be bold with the doing.
Arrogance?
I don't take time to define the doing of it.
Or do I attempt to comprehend,
Why people spend most of their lives...
With their noses in the business of others.

Sabotage As Weaknesses

They would love to blame every blemish they have,
On him or her.
Them or those.

Their successes are interpreted as defeats.
They seek to discourage any positive beliefs.
And yet very quietly...
They sob tears with sighs,
That are heard behind closed doors.
Not to expose regretted emotions.
None to interpret as theirs...
But 'yours'.

Wishing not to have their insecurities made public.
As they admonish others for abilities...
They sabotage as weaknesses...
That feed to them their strengths.

Inner Light

My inner lights shines, but I go to the darkness.
Why must I always look at my weaknesses?
I know they are there, and on them, I obsess?
They try to consume me.
I believe the lies they tell me.
They are the true robbers of my joy.
They want the power of my light.
They crave to become greater than my strengths.
They will, if I let them.
Others remind me of them, like critics watching my story.
Maybe they should focus on their own.
Believe your own lies.
Give power to them.
Become your own critics.
Maybe their giants must be too big.
If they make mine bigger than theirs, they will feel better.
So I won't let them.
My light will shine so bright, it will cover the darkest areas of my being.
My strengths will slay my weaknesses.
The giant is afraid of the light.
It will run, it will cower,
Though, it won't give up without a fight.
Nor will I.
Deflect it lies, like arrows with my shield.
I will let my light consume it.
I will lock them up,
In the prison, they kept me in for so long.
When they become the prisoner,
Then, I am truly free.

I tried to sum........

I tried to sum up the day
Could not think the way
Was it so gainful with joy?
Did I pass it and fully enjoy?

It was normal and casual
Activities so so and as usual
Same way of fooling around
Always new search and catch found

I take so much pride
Emotions and plan always hide
Boosting as if jump and can ride
Always secretive and matters confide

Nothing that I pursue and do different
Intentions may look honest and apparent
Even I may not spare own parent
I take it as new and fresh event

I do it with cleaver move
Any dangers easily remove
Capabilities day by day improve
Nothing to hide and nothing to prove

You may disapprove and hate
I can’t afford to be looser and late
Got to go along with the show
Whole might or weight has to throw

It may not prove difficult either
Storm may come and wither
I shall stand as lone winner
Though conscious may bite from inner

No words can exert the influence
Surely to have no road blocks hence
Success may touch the highest peak
May be considered strong and not merely a weak

I may not worry about another world
Showing indifference with lukewarm and cold
All my initiatives will be clear and bold
Complete sway with control and hold

The Rocks And The Cliff In Front Of Me

the rocks in front of me
are layered like sheets of paper works
a load i must suppose for
centuries unread
the grasses of the desert
have come to cover
a part of the history of their
shale
i am the shadow at noonday
asking
what these rocks can do for me?
or shall i say
rocks, rocks, boulders of rocks
tell me the heaviness of your
burden
tell the secrets of your
strengths
the echoes keep on rebounding
sounding like the
laughter of a madman
asking the questions and
figuring out the answers
from the same sound

Collide

I felt my heart collapse
On the day that I met him
I felt my heart collapse
It filled up to the rim
I felt my heart collapse
When my eyes traveled 'round
I felt my heart collapse
The one I had found

I felt my heart collapse
When he first touched my skin
I felt my heart collapse
Oh it seemed a lovely sin
I felt my heart collapse
It fell without a sound
I felt my heart collapse
Oh I knew I had found

I felt my heart collapse
When we shared that first kiss
I felt my heart collapse
I thought that I would almost miss
I felt my heart collapse
I was lost in his embrace
I felt my heart collapse
I kept staring at his face

Oh my heart collapsed on that day
Ever since it's been that same way
My love for you has not faded
Ever since the day it escaped

Vive les Vives Différences - Opinion On Opt_I_on Onion Sin Skin Options, Ways Weighed

Each reaches out with voice for choice, one's meat
may seem another's poison for a while
for victory from jaws of sure defeat
pure render soul response fo bitter trial

What one feels truth another terms deceit
can kil[l]ometer translate into [s]mile?
Time passes slow to some, to others fleet
flies, flees, to some seems modesty vain guile

Brass or fool's gold? Old chaff or golden wheat?
It's always difficult to reconcile
philosophies where time, place, fail to meet
or teachings vary: joy or bitter bile?

Change strange range spans, man plans, pans karmic day's

I Wish An Acceptance For My Strengths

I have all the support I need...
For those weaknesses upon me that feed.

I wish an acceptance for my strengths!
Strong and bold shoulders,
To come and be at my defense.

Whenever I choose to suffer and bleed publicly,
I have all the support I need.

But I don't have those in my life who oppose,
Those sorrows others choose in me to see.
