Poetry- Sunday


Walking through the woods never realising the late hour,

The taste in my mouth rather sour,

Your body throbs,

Your life it robs,

A trap between the walls,

We all have flaws,

We aren't immune,

From the gloom,

We learn to dance in the rain,

It often isn't enough to soothe the pain,

Emotional and physical pain that nobody is allowed to see,

People will judge me,

The nights are full of gloom,

People just assume,

She is fine,

She always dresses and looks well when we dine,

I will always smile,

When truly it has been a while,

I heal others to soothe and avoid my own heart-break,

My happiness isn't fake,

I am grateful and lucky for the ones I love,

The opportunities fate and the angels have given me from above,

I count my blessing everyday,

I try to leave my mark on the world in my own special way,

Worried I will disappear once I have gone,

Time goes on,

Did I do enough?

It has been rough,

Always more to do,

Always more storms to weather through,

Doctor, doctor I can't go on,

I have tried to be strong,

We scream for help,

In pain we yelp,

I have given my best,

Never time for a rest,

I can't take a drive,

On love and self-improvement I thrive,

Lost and never to be found,

In spirit I will always be around,

Trying to make the best of my life,

Pain cuts through me like a knife,

Restricted and in a box I sit,

Looking out and dreaming as my teeth I grit,

Hoping for more,

Wishing to explore,

Pushing myself and beating myself up day after day,

Wishing I could heal more hearts in everyway,

Sad for the sadness I cause everyday,

Never knowing how to put it right in anyway,

Writing to you,

Never knowing how to begin the letter with the love and thanks I feel for you,

I am sorry with all my heart,

My own pain and yours rips me apart,

From there to now,

On the stage I take a bow,

For I gave my all,

I stood tall,

The good and the bad,

The happy and the sad,

So many words left to say,

I just simply can't explain them in anyway,

A life that has been solely me,

I tried to be the best person I can be,

I battled and took on the fight,

Always keeping love and my dreams in sight.

COOKING TIPS

#1
Feeling sluggish and rubbish when you have woken up? Get boosting up on bananas the more the better - they will help settle your stomach, boosting digestion, they are a mood enhancer, they will give you the energy you need and keep you full. Buy my book for banana receipe ideas.
 
#2
Wake up every morning and ATLEAST have one glass of lemon water before doing anything else! Ideally try to drink a litre of water. The lemon wakes up your digestive system ready for the day and has great cleansing properties.
 
#3
Check your dairy and meat intake - dairy can sit in your system for up to seven days unable to digest properly. Meaning other foods also get neglected and nurtients aren't absorbed properly and you feel extremely bloated. Go and smell your food bin, your stomach will be in that state. Rotting foods in your belly - hmm nice.
 
#4
DO NOT FEAR CARBS - THEY ARE NOT THE ENEMY! CARB UP!!
Bananas, Rice, Potatoes, Leafy Greens, Corn, Beans, Lentils etc PACK THEM IN GO MAD.
 
#5
NEVER COUNT CALORIES - NEVER RESTRICT!! These restriction 'starvation' diets who tell you to only eat 500 calories a day then have a treat day - where you binge out and eat WAY too much, is simply messing up your metabolism and on your binge days yours body stores all the fat meaning you gain weight because it knows it is going to go back into starvation mode and needs to hold onto every little thing it can. HELLO WEIGHT GAIN. 

Life is too short not to live it to the full, making yourself happy.
