Nature’s Path
On a road unpaved, I gently glide,
Where nature’s wonders stretch far and wide.
Tall trees stand guard with leaves of pink,
In their vibrant hues, my heart can’t help but sink.
The sunlight dances through branches above,
Whispering secrets, a symphony of love.
Each turn reveals a breathtaking view,
A canvas of colors, rich and true.
With every mile, I’m lost in bliss,
In this enchanting world, there’s magic in the mist.
As I drive along this path so free,
The beauty of nature is a gift to me.
Breaking the Humdrum
Your three words today are:
HUMDRUM
DULL
BORING
In a classroom filled with humdrum sounds,
The lecture drags, my spirit drowns.
Words flow slowly, so dull and gray,
Boring moments stretch the day.
I wish for sparks, a little thrill,
To chase away this heavy chill.
But here I sit, with thoughts that roam,
Yearning for a place called home.
Oh, to break free from this endless talk,
To find some joy in the dull classroom walk.
A spark of laughter, a dash of fun,
Then the humdrum could finally be done.

Social Anxiety
Out and about, the world is alive
But inside my mind, I struggle to survive
The bustling streets, the crowded places
Trigger my anxiety, tying me in laces
I long to join in, to be a part
But fear grips me, tearing me apart
The thought of judgment, the fear of rejection
Keeps me locked in my own self-protection
I watch from afar, wishing I could be
A part of the laughter, the joy, the glee
But my mind plays tricks, telling me lies
That I’m not good enough, that I should hide
So I retreat back into my shell
Where it’s safe and quiet, away from the swell
Of people and noise, the chaos of life
Where my social anxiety cuts like a knife
But deep down inside, I know it’s not true
That I am worthy, just like you
So I’ll take a deep breath, and step out once more
Facing my fears, opening the door
To a world of possibilities, of connections and love
Where my social anxiety can’t hold me above
I’ll break free from its grip, and live my life
Out and about, without fear or strife.
Awakening Spring
Petals soft as dreams,
Unfurling in spring’s embrace,
Life’s sweet promise blooms.
Whispers of the breeze,
Dance with colors of the dawn,
Nature’s serenade.
Morning dew glistens,
Each drop a world reflecting,
Hope awakens bright.
Night Whisphers
In the night it glows,
Guiding whispers through the dark,
Hope’s warm flicker shines.
Stars above watch close,
Silent wishes take their flight,
Dreams dance in the night.
The Power of Visions
Do visions come true?
At times it is hard to tell
Need a sign to show
–
Whispers of the heart,
Guiding paths we have yet walked,
Hope lights the shadows.

Rad Dad in Denim
Tad was a dad who thought he was rad,
In his cool dad jeans, he felt quite glad.
With humor and cheer,
He spread joy far and near,
Living life just like a fun-loving lad!
In Caring for Myself
Your three words today are:
WORRY
CONCERN
CARING
In shadows deep, my worry grows,
A seed that whispers, never slows.
With every thought, my heart will churn,
As I watch the world, my spirit yearn.
Each concern of others, I hold so tight,
Their burdens heavy, I feel the weight of night.
In my caring heart, I lose my way,
Forgotten self, in the fray of day.
I tend to their needs, their sorrows I share,
But in the mirror, I find no care.
With gentle hands, I must learn to mend,
To hold my own heart, to be my own friend.
So I’ll breathe deep and let worries part,
For in caring for me, I’ll heal my heart.
With balance found, I’ll rise anew,
In caring for myself, I’ll be strong for you.
The Weight of Care
Why am I the glue that holds us tight,
Keeping us close, day and night?
I’m tired now, my strength is low,
I need some care, it’s time to show.
I want someone to lift me high,
To hold my hand, to hear my sigh.
Just for a moment, a little while,
To see the world through a softer smile.
This weight I bear, it’s heavy too,
I long for comfort, I need it true.
So let me rest, let me be free,
And find a bit of care for me.
Finding Your Star
Take a breath, don’t yell or shout,
Ranting and raving won’t help you out.
What you want may seem so far,
But keep on trying, you’ll find your star.
Though answers may not come today,
At least you’ve shown a human way.
In every step, let kindness lead,
For even small acts can plant a seed.
So gather strength, give it a go,
Even if the path feels slow.
You might not get all that you seek,
But in being real, you’ll find what’s unique.
Leadership and Personal Growth
In my professional life, I view myself as a confident leader who makes tough decisions and guides my team toward success. Leadership feels natural for me.
Outside of work, however, I tend to be more of a follower due to my desire to please others and avoid conflict, which often leads me to neglect my own needs. I’m actively working on overcoming this habit and learning to prioritize my well-being.
I’ve seen positive progress in putting myself first, but I recognize there’s always more room for growth, and I’m committed to continuous improvement.
