Stranger in the mirror

 My mirror often finds me a stranger

my eyes haven't melted with the warmth of my heart.

I haven't read the meaning of the frown lines on my forehead.

Have yet to learn to form smile lines to replace the frown.

I haven't taken a step forward emotionally I am on zero miles stone.

How will I know the strength of my wings if I have not flown?

Thought I was directionless not realizing that the fun of flying is in the flight and not direction.

Our whole life is less than a chalk line on the blackboard of eternity.

I realize of late, fate can shackle my feet and clip my wings, but it cannot stop my dreams and through them, I will work out a path to fulfill my destiny.

All this is possible, the moment I realize that I am the stranger in the mirror.

Addiction

Haven't writing a word since dawn, and the pain is unbearable can't point out where it is, but sometimes in the stomach and at times in the chest, but now I think it is in my head. My hand, it is not steady and i can feel the tremors as I grasp the pen (I know I know - I mean the keyboard) And as I begin typing, I feel the pain ebbing, as words flow over every key. Addiction goes beyond addiction, I know: It is beyond cigarettes or being salve of Bacchus, you can get addicted to pain, of a different kind Hitting the gym or walking the mile again and again, till you are addicted after which it sets you free Or you could choose to get addicted by taking on someone else's pain, and be a helping hand for anyone who asks or doesn't. Take this on and make addiction look good on you, and chisel out a life divine.

Prayer

Prayer cannot mitigate your problem it can give you strength to face it and intuition to find a solution. Prayer is the only option when all else fails Prayer generates hope, hope pacifies a troubled mind. Calm seeps in and thinking becomes straight. Pain threshold is lifted, sorrow mitigated. Prayer may not be an option, it's a subtle command probably from somewhere deep down our subconscious mind. Prayer is a gift a buffer created by nature to help us take a fall and bounce back.
