• The Dance of Truth and Lies

  Truth and lies, a strange pair,
  Walk hand-in-hand, everywhere.
  Truth is pure and clear as day,
  While lies are cloaked in shadows gray.

  Truth speaks with a voice so bold,
  Lies whisper secrets, untold.
  Truth is the light that guides our way,
  Lies lead us astray.

  But oh, how often lies deceive,
  And make us believe what we perceive.
  They paint a picture false and fair,
  And trap us in their cunning snare.

  So be wary of the lies you hear,
  And hold truth close, my dear.
  For truth is the foundation strong,
  On which our lives belong.

  In this world of shifting sands,
  Where truth and lies often join hands,
  May we have courage to discern,
  The truth from lies, and learn.

  To see the world with eyes so clear,
  And banish all our doubts and fear.
  For in the end, truth will prevail,
  And lies will fade and fail.

• The Mind’s Eye

  In the depths of our psyche, lies a mystery untold,
  Where psychology meets philosophy, and the mind’s stories unfold,
  The ego, the id, the superego, all dance in a trance,
  As we ponder on life’s meaning, and take a deeper glance.

  From Plato to Socrates, from Freud to Jung,
  Theories abound, as we try to unravel our own being,
  Nature versus nurture, free will or determinism,
  Questions that linger, as we seek to find our own rhythm.

  The mind’s eye sees it all, the past, present and future,
  A canvas of emotions, thoughts and desires, a complex mixture,
  As we navigate this journey called life, with its twists and turns,
  We learn to embrace the unknown and let go of our concerns.

• The Mind and the Soul

  The mind is a complex thing,
  With thoughts and feelings that can swing,
  From high to low, from dark to light,
  It’s a mystery to all but night.

  The soul is a different matter,
  It’s something that we can’t chatter,
  It’s the essence of who we are,
  It’s the reason we can feel and scar.

  So when the mind and soul are in conflict,
  It can be a very difficult rift,
  But if we can find a way to balance,
  We can find true happiness and romance.

• My heart still cried

  My heart still cried when you left,
  Longing for the warmth of your embrace,
  Yearning for the sound of your voice,
  And the comfort of your loving face.
  
  Though time has passed and wounds have healed,
  The memory of your absence lingers on,
  A reminder of the love we shared,
  And the pain that comes when it’s gone.
  
  But even in the midst of all this sorrow,
  I find solace in the memories we made,
  And the knowledge that love still endures,
  Even when distance keeps us apart and delayed.

• The Psychology of Procrastination

  

  The Psychology of Procrastination

  Procrastination is a common problem that affects many people, often leading to negative consequences such as missed deadlines and increased stress. While procrastination may seem like a simple issue of laziness or poor time management, the psychology behind this behavior is actually quite complex.

  One of the main reasons people procrastinate is due to a phenomenon called temporal discounting. This means that we tend to value immediate rewards more highly than future rewards, even if the future rewards are more beneficial in the long run. For example, we may choose to watch TV or scroll through social media instead of working on a project, even though we know that completing the project will have greater long-term benefits.

  Another factor that contributes to procrastination is perfectionism. People who have high standards for themselves may feel overwhelmed by the prospect of starting a task, fearing that they won’t be able to complete it perfectly. This fear can lead to avoidance and procrastination, as they feel that it is better to delay the task than to risk doing it imperfectly.

  Additionally, the fear of failure is another common reason people procrastinate. The fear of not meeting expectations or disappointing others can be a powerful motivator for procrastination. By delaying a task, we may be able to avoid the risk of failure altogether.

  Despite the negative consequences of procrastination, there are strategies that can help individuals overcome this behavior. These include breaking tasks down into smaller, more manageable steps, setting clear and realistic goals, and using positive self-talk and visualization techniques to overcome negative thoughts and feelings.

  In conclusion, the psychology of procrastination is a complex and multifaceted issue that affects many people. By understanding the underlying factors that contribute to procrastination, individuals can take steps to overcome this behavior and achieve their goals.

• The Language of the Soul

  

  The language of the soul is the language of emotion. It is the language that resonates deep within us, expressing what cannot be spoken any other way. It is a language of beauty and complexity, of sorrow and joy, of struggles and triumphs. It is a language that speaks to our deepest selves, tapping into our core being and connecting us with the things that matter most.

• Body Language

  Stare down and a blink, what is it you think?

  A stroke of the beard observing what is weird

  Laying in bed you turn your head what has been said?

  Tilt your face and form a verdict before ears have heard it

  Arms are crossed mad with exhaust, right at any cost

  Nervous and insecure arm placement you’re unsure

• Shadow

  Standing right behind me,
  Just out of view.
  In direct sunlight,
  I cast a shadow of you.

  I draw you back under my feet.
  Where I can’t see you.
