If you are feeling down or low or weak,
It often helps if you'll just speak.
So tell of all your problems and each trouble,
Otherwise you may find that they'll soon double.

So each niggling thought - you must now vent,
And don't rest until they've all been sent.
So be honest and do tell the truth.
As this is neither shameful nor uncouth.

Sharing problems shall get you on the road,

I do not like to engage in confrontation -
Though I may actually be in the right.
I do not like to have an altercation,
As it may lead to a fight.

Some words - they can be hurtful,
And they can be quite offensive.
Though I would like to be as hard as nails,
I always end up being defensive.

I would like to be courageous.
I would like to be tough and strong.
I would like to stand up to...

The Lord of the Rings is a wonderful story.
It is a tale of hope, courage and glory.
Into three parts is this story divided,
And which side will win is first undecided.

The first part is The Fellowship of the Ring,
And each of those nine members have something to bring.
Their goal for which they have all been employed,
Is that this great ring of power has to be destroyed.

Which of these schemes of life is best -
To stay in or be outgoing?
Though we just could stay in and rest
All the world is there for showing.

Whilst at home we might feel secure,
There's much out there for us to miss .
And as all the world is there for us to explore
It's something none of us should dismiss.

Outside there is so much to see,
It's not something of which to fear.
And as ...

Life is never so tough, and nor is it stranger
Than living the life of a teenager
They have many problems and many fears
Coping with pressures, mainly from their peers.

Life can be complex at this difficult time -
Trying to be first to the top of the ladder they climb.
They might feel they have the world on their shoulder,
As they strive to survive as they slowly get older.

It is a tim...

Men don’t like to show their feelings,
So they must seem strong and tough.
And they must not show signs of weakness 
And while some are refined, others are rough. 

Men deal with one thing at a time,
As they cannot multi-task. 
And while at times they may need help,
They are then afraid to ask.

Men do not like to return things,
As it’s awkward and a hassle. 
But they love to be king o...

As we look at our society,
We'll see one that creates most anxiety.
It's one that we should all despise.
It is one which no-one should disguise.

It is a bully - as they bring distress,
Turning good people's minds into a mess.
To destroy confidence is their aim.
Then after that they'll just do the same.

For victims they will always seek,
Searching for those who seem weak.
But for what...

If we look back in time and see
All those who brought us misery,
Should we hate or should we forgive?
With which of these should we now live?

Shall we find peace or be embittered?
Shall our minds be clear or with troubles littered?
Should we in joy or sadness wallow?
And which of these paths should we follow?

Shall we resolve to be dejected?
And accept when have been rejected?
Should...

Is it important to get recognition
For all our achievements and ambition?
Is it important others know when we are good?
Not have our names dragged through the mud

Is it important for us to be seen,
And have people know just what we mean?
Is it important to be highly praised
And in all perceptions firmly raised?

Is it important to have popularity
To be understood with total clarity?
I...

Whenever you start to fret or worry,
If you feel impatient or in a hurry.
And you realise that you may be stuck
Walking your path of dreadful luck.

You feel despondent and dejected,
And by the whole world quite rejected.
Then you may ponder and you may think,
How much lower can my despair sink.

But can you just step off this road?
Can you set your mind to a cheerful mode?
Your view o...
