If you want something done well, do it yourself .

Listen to the rain
Listen to each drop of rain (listen listen)
whispering secrets in vain, (listen listen)
Frantically searching for someone to hear
their story before they hit ground.
Please don't let go!
Can't we stay for awhile?
It's just too hard to say goodbye.
Listen to the Rain!
Listen listen listen ... to the Rain
Weeping.
I stand alone in the storm.
Suddenly sweet words take hold:
"Hurry!" they say, "for you haven't much time!
"Open your eyes to the love around you;
"you may feel you're alone,
"but I'm here still with you.
"You can do what you dream,
"just remember to
"Listen to the Rain."
(song by Evanescence - Listen to the rain)

Follow the crowd, blindly...
Fashion, following the latest trends is almost a must nowadays. Majority of people all over the world are looking for what is "in" through fashion TV shows, celebrities at the red carpet or fashion magazines. It's almost an obsession for some.
Not all fashion trends suit ALL people. For example, here in the middle east, majority of women wear the hejab but still want to wear the latest fashion. And sometimes it doesn't work out because women who wear hejab must wear clothes that cover their whole body (excluding the face and hands) and it should NOT be tight.
Unfortunately, a large percentage of that category of women violate the islamic rules of hejab by wearing clothes that does not go along with the hejab. They, somehow, can work the latest trend out to fit with the hejab. Otherwise, lose the hejab it's more respectful than dissing it with that revealing outfit.
Another thing, some people take fashion to the extreme! Simple example: Spiked hair (for guys) and the Puff (for girls) I mean, come on guys seriously??
Guys with spiked hair here look electrocuted It's not even funny! It is NOT "cool", it does NOT make you look "cool", you look scary. Please, if you know someone who does their hair like that, shave their heads off and save the humans' eye sight. And girls, easy on the hair spray and you might want to lower that mountain on your head, you're blocking the world's view.
My point is, simplicity in fashion always looks the best. Trying too hard to look "fashionable" is only going to make you look bad.

Nothing is impossible
Life is all about give and take.
If you are just sitting back doing nothing, expecting that you will be getting something at the end, you're wrong. You get as much as you work.
From my own experience in life, I faced a LOT of difficulties, and had distant goals that I had to get to in order to get on with my life. I worked hard, I put an effort into it, I came around the problems from every angle just to see through the obstacle that was keeping me from going. I won't deny the fact that I had thoughts about giving up, and I DID get tired and felt hopeless but I pushed myself and tried until I finally got there.
My hard work didn't go to waste. The accomplishment tasted so good after all that time of waiting.
Piece of advice, don't ever say "I can't". This word shouldn't exist when you are following your goal and want to accomplish something in your life. Nothing is impossible.
Work hard to get what you deserve! It's all worth it in the end :) Plus, you'll feel capable of doing anything.

Lies Lies Lies
Why is it so hard for people to say the truth? It's not that hard. Ok, it IS going to hurt sometimes, but it is better to confront each other with the truth than go around tying millions of knots of lies.
Once you go through the path of lying, you're stuck. And believe me, it is a short road and you will face a cliff where you will fall flat on your face because you just can't go on lying anymore.
Advice, ALWAYS tell the truth. No matter how painful it might be to you or to others, at least you will be respected for not lying.

Think Positive +
It's only normal that people feel sad or depressed. But when you think about it, there is always a brighter side, no matter how big and complicated the problem is, there is ALWAYS that little tiny thing that could make it all better and worth-while.
As I have noticed from people listening to peoples' complaints and problems, the majority of them tend to focus on the worse side of the problem, which makes it even worse as they get more upset and pissed off! That is NEVER a good way to go when facing a problem.
Even if you're facing the most enormous boundary in your whole life and you just feel like you've lost hope, search deeper inside and look for that little thread of hope that keeps you going. No matter how small it is, it'll work.
It could be your best friend, a family member, something you are passionate about, something you're looking forward to, ANYTHING! As long as it's gona get you through this boundary so that you can move on with your life.
Thinking positive and staying away from negativity seriously helped me get through life, I used to be a very negative person I must admit. But since I changed my way of thinking, I'm happier.
NOTHING, I repeat, NOTHING is worth wasting your time and energy hating or stressing over.
Get rid of all that negative energy by writing poetry, painting, working out, going out with your friends... Believe me, it works.
Think positive and SMILE =D
Life's too short to frown!

Music
Every soul's sanctuary.
If you're feeling happy, sad, angry, depressed, excited, energetic... There is over 20 genres that suit every mood.
One can find peace when listening to music, personally, I love the sound of the acoustic guitar, so calm and soothing.
There is nothing in particular to like about music, it could be the melody and it could be the words.
Some find solutions to problems in music, some find it as a way to let off some steam, some find it a way to express their happiness, some listen to it to get the tears out of their system, and some listen to it just to get crazy!
"Music is what feelings sound like"

Blank
Piles and piles of lost poems
Pens dried out
Papers ran out
Ideas and thoughts sailed away
Yet, there are over a million things to write about
A million things to be inspired from
My mind rushes with thoughts and images...
Memories and messages...
Passages tied in knots in my head
Scrabbeling in my white paper trying to fill the lines
But I came out with nothing but twisted lies
