The Diet That Lasted 4 Hours Poem

The Diet That Lasted 4 Hours Poem

I started a diet at eight in the morning,
By noon I was starving, exhausted, and mourning.
Four hours of discipline, pure and divine —
Then suddenly everything tasted like mine.

I promised myself I’d eat nothing but green,
Be virtuous, holy — nutritionally clean.
But one little craving, one thought of a bun,
And goodbye to the diet… it had a good run.

My lunch was a salad, composed and petite,
I felt like a goddess… until I felt weak.
At hour four I surrendered, no time to delay —
The fridge heard me coming and whispered, “Okay…”

I swore I’d be strong, I swore I’d be brave,
But then someone offered a bite I could save.
“Just taste it,” they said — the oldest of lies —
And suddenly willpower met its demise.

I counted my calories, tracked every bite,
Googled “Is breathing fattening?” late in the night.
But math isn’t kind when you’re hungry and stressed —
One cookie feels tiny… until you eat the rest.

I lasted four hours, I gave it my best —
But discipline failed when hunger expressed.
Turns out my body has needs I can’t fight —
Like carbs, and comfort, and eating at night.

I told myself, “Monday, I’ll start fresh again,”
The same vow I’ve made since I don’t know when.
Dieting’s noble, but here’s the reveal —
My hunger’s the boss… and it signs every deal.

Divorce: Happily Ever After… Just Not Together Poem

Divorce: Happily Ever After… Just Not Together Poem

People asked,
“Do you feel single now?”
No.
I feel upgraded.

Divorce meant losing a partner
but gaining
full control
of the remote.

Healing looked nothing
like the movies —
no soft piano,
no slow montage —
just me eating pasta
at 3am
in victorious silence.

People call it
a “divorce glow-up,”
but honestly,
it’s just what happens
when no one drains
your life force anymore.

Sharing custody
taught me balance —
specifically
how to schedule
a breakdown
between 5 and 7pm.

My friends said,
“You seem lighter.”
That’s what happens
when you drop
unnecessary
emotional weight.

I don’t miss the arguments —
mostly because now
I finally win them.
And sleeping alone?
Bliss.
No snoring,
no sheets trembling
from midnight gas eruptions —
just me,
peacefully sleeping
for the first time in years.

So here’s the truth:
I didn’t break,
I rebooted —
and the upgraded version
runs smoother
and doesn’t crash.

Daily Affirmation: I do not need more – I need meaning

🌿 This affirmation reminds me that fulfillment doesn’t come from adding more to my life, but from clearing space to feel what actually matters. Simplicity softens the noise and brings me back to a sense of inner quiet where meaning can breathe again. In choosing less, I reconnect with the sacred “enough” and allow peace to settle where excess once lived. ✨

Gym People Who Don’t Actually Exercise Poem

Gym People Who Don’t Actually Exercise Poem

At the gym there are people who stretch for an hour,
Then call it a workout and head for a shower.
They carry a bottle, they carry a towel —
But breaking a sweat?
Now that’s not their style.

Some come to “train,” but the truth’s on display:
They scroll more steps than they take in a day.
The treadmill moves slowly, their thumbs move fast —
Their cardio’s great…
if texting counts as class.

You’ll find them posing with confident grace,
Checking each angle, each shadow, each face.
They flex for the mirror, they flex for the air —
The weights? Decorative.
They don’t go near there.

And then there are girls in immaculate wear,
Full makeup, perfume, freshly ironed hair.
They glide on machines for a moment or two —
Careful not to sweat…
it might smudge the view.

The boys wear tight vests with their muscles on show,
Strutting the gym like a personal runway glow.
They lift just enough to appear in their prime —
Then spend the next half-hour
perfecting the line.

Some wander around without touching a thing,
Pretending they’re hunting for “that leg machine.”
They circle in loops like confused GPS —
An Olympic display
of impressive aimlessness.

And others come mainly to mingle and chat:
“Hey bro! Long time!”
“Did you hear about that?”
Their workout is gossip, repeated in sets —
They burn more calories
collecting regrets.

But somehow the gym still reports a good scene —
proving that watching other people work out
should count as routine.
And yet the place stays spotless, tidy, and clean —
because half of its members
never touch a machine.

The Wisdom of Silence: Self-Healing Sundays EP23

We fear silence because it holds us — because, in its quiet, we finally hear what our hearts have been trying to say. But silence is not absence; it is presence in its purest form.

The world teaches us to speak, to share, to fill the space — but rarely to be still. Yet silence, in every sacred tradition, is not emptiness; it is essence. It is the space where truth gathers, where healing whispers, and where the soul remembers its own sound.

We fear silence because it holds us — because, in its quiet, we finally hear what our hearts have been trying to say. But silence is not absence; it is presence in its purest form.

Across spiritual paths, silence is revered as holy ground:

  • Christianity: “The Lord is in His holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before Him.” — Habakkuk 2:20
  • Buddhism: “Silence is an empty space, but it is full of answers.” — Zen Proverb
  • Islam: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “Whoever believes in God and the Last Day should speak a good word or remain silent.” — Hadith
  • Hinduism: Mauna — the discipline of silence — is a sacred practice for purifying the mind and deepening awareness.
  • Judaism: “A fence for wisdom is silence.” — Pirkei Avot 3:17
  • Taoism: “Silence is a source of great strength.” — Lao Tzu
  • Indigenous Teachings: Silence is the language of nature; the wind, the fire, the river — all speak without words.

Silence does not demand withdrawal from life — only deeper attention to it. When you move through your day with a quieter heart, you begin to hear the music beneath the noise — the divine hum that connects everything.

The lesson is this: Silence is not the absence of sound; it’s the presence of awareness. It is where peace is born and wisdom breathes.

In the space between words, the soul speaks.

Your Practice for Today

Take 10 minutes today in complete silence — no phone, no music, no talking.
Simply sit and notice: your breath, your heartbeat, the sounds that exist beyond your control.

When the silence feels uncomfortable, whisper gently to yourself:

“Even in stillness, I am held.”

Then carry that quiet awareness into the rest of your day — listening not just with your ears, but with your spirit.
