Poem - Deep Within


Deep Within

I have found,

My path on the ground,

To inspire and empower,

To embrace the inclosing rain shower,

Add a touch of sparkle wherever you go,

I want you to know,

You are doing yourself proud,

You can mute the sound,

For people will always speak,

Yourself you must never doubt or tweak,

For what they see,

Is a girl fighting to be free,

Caged without a key,

But deep down they gain inspiration from me,

From the struggle and pain I choose to show,

Harsh words are a low blow,

Trying to knock that crown from your head,

Self-doubt is a skin you must shed,

Don't see red,

Today you go out of bed,

Wrote your soul to the world and broke down,

People talk around town,

The smiles are a smoke-screen,

Where have you been?

Lost in your own thoughts of gloom,

People will always assume,

Don't allow them to feed you,

What they believe to be true,

You know,

The positivity to keep fighting you want to show,

The pain deep inside,

What a rollercoaster ride,

Stay by me,

If you want to see,

I won't be you stay,

I have come to peace with that fact let's just say,

For my purpose I now know,

To the world I must show,

A girl that keep fighting strong,

Even though the road is long,

She stays true,

Is strong for you,

For she knows with life we only get one shot,

You - she never forgot,

Deep in her heart,

You watch her fall apart,

For she is still learning every day,

To love herself in some way.

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.
