Beauty & Meaning

Humans are funny beings, We all want different things, One man trash, another man treasure, We are the same, but different, Our goals and dreams converge and contrast, We need each other to survive,  Like interlocked edges we must interact,  Even if being alone is our pride, We still need each other to thrive. ✍@Toobrightanthony 📸 : Min An @pexels.com

First time in love The thrill is high, It's all cool and fun, butterflies fills the tummy. First time in love, So perfect without spot, Infatuation and lust,  Blinds the eyes. First time in love, Too true to be a lie, Love bombing and smiles Hides blinds our mind. First time in love, Can hurt after a while, Honey period is gone, Reality opens your eyes. ✍@Toobrightanthony. 📸: ketut subiyanto@pexels.com

Shining yellow sun, ushering in a new day, The roster crows, the day has begun, Another 24hrs, filled with many moments, And different feelings, and varying emotions, Another day to live, with details to fill in, Take charge and lead, conquer and relish, Enjoy each day to its peak, Each day is is a new gift, live it to its fill. ✍@Toobrightanthony. 📸 @pexels.com

Silent wars, we all fight within,  Deep down, a war is waging us thin, It's a daily routine of flights and fights, Not physical, but it can be uptight, Some days you're fine, you're winning with smiles, Other days you're down, running the last mile, The silent wars we wage in our hearts, minds and souls, A unique battle, each soul to his own. ✍@Toobrightanthony. 📸 Ida Rizkha @pexels.

Closing eyes, body about to shut down, After a tiring long day, It's far spent, Vision is blurred, can't see well enough,  His hands trying to finish up his work task, He forgot he can be replaced, just like a tool, But he has to work still, or let his mind wander away. ✍@Toobrightanthony  📸 @pexels

Tick tock, says the clock, The sound of time, we have come to know, The rhythm is slow, so is the flow, A minute is long, it's 60 seconds,  It takes 60 ticks, and 360 degrees, A boring flow, So painful to watch, The passage of time, a tick a time, Slow to count, too fast to keep up with, In a twinkling of an eye, years are gone, The rhythms of time, a mystery to grasp. ✍@Toobrightanthony  📸 @pexels.

Life is like a rolled dice,  We all got different stakes, Some got an easy fate, Some got a fair fate, Some got not so easy fate, It's a game of luck,  Nothing is assured or given, Some may change their fates, Thus too, is still a game of luck, We usually determine our lucks, Still, nothing is assured or given, Stop comparing your fates,  You don't know their takes or pains. ✍@Toobrightanthony. 📸: skitterpro@pexels.com

I visited the hiding place of my younger years, This time, not in the flesh, I ran back under the bed in my little room, Hiding from my fears, traumas, and mistakes, Scared and anxious, breathing high, and thumping fast, It was just like when I hid from my childhood fears, This seems like a deja vu, like a movie I have been through, I am no longer that scared child, but I am still scared still. @Toobrightanthony 📸 : @canva

Trust your gut, it won't fail you, It has taken you through many evolutions, It has been trained by your mistakes, It has learnt from your bitter experiences. It has learnt to keep you safe, And sometimes make you pay for ignoring it admonitions, Whenever you're in doubt, always trust your guts. ✍@Toobrightanthony 📸@pexels.

My thoughts woke me up from my slumber, It drove sleep from my eyes, stole my rest, and gave me worries, It took my down the former path of the past,  Filled with murky-potholes of mistakes and trials,  It projected me to the future, making anxious of things beyond my grasp, Until I realise it is ruining my present, not making me aware of each moment,  I can only heal from the past, by being in my present, and preparing for the future. © Toobrightanthony  📸 : Darina Belonogova@pexels

It's okay to be beginner, making mistakes, and correcting them, It's ok to take baby steps, building strength, one step at a time. It's ok to be know to know it all, no one ever does actually, It's ok to ask questions, it's how you become wiser, It's ok to fail, because that's how learning takes place. ✍@Toobrightanthony. 📸: Yan Krakau@pexels.com

Meet me in the middle, With an open mind, Set aside differences, We're the same kind...  No color or race, We all are humankind, Do away with shackles of hate, That made us blind, Let love and respect lead, Let's put hate behind. ✍@Toobrightanthony. 📸: cottonbro studio@pexel.com

The daily struggle to keep your weight down, It is a battle that begins every dawn, Some times it's fun, most times it's tough, Some times it's smooth, other times it's rough, You have to keep going no matter what, Keep moving, just don't stop.   ✍@Toobrightanthony 📸: pixabay@pexels.com
