So often we say we live in regret
From the memories that make us upset or the ones that still feel like a threat
Disbelief, pain, a loss anything adverse is where it all comes from
But yet still at the time a decision had to be the outcome
In every regret there is a lesson to be learnt or some sort of upside
So why continue to swim against the current when you can ride with the tide
In many situations you will encounter that cause regret you gain experience
And you gain a bit more intelligence
Because you learn the do's and don'ts and the possibilities of how things really happen
Or even have the opportunity to meet people you wouldn't have laid eyes upon
If you ever wished you didn't go through that thing we call regret we wouldn't know what and who we know
Regret really is an inimical word by society's definition
But for me its a positive forward movement of my knowledge, networking and ambition
Due to every learning experience and new person I come a cross
Even though during the pain and hurt you get so lost
As hard as it is to endeavor
It really helps and stays with you forever
We ask ourselves from time to time what is it that makes us happy in the end
Isn't it the experiences that we can't forget and the people we meet who we call friends
Well good or bad situations or even the ones we call regrets we gain all the above
So why slow ourselves down by trying to recover from it
Instead why not embrace regret and all that it might emit
See it as any normal situation with a bit more pain in order to gain
So there is a part of you that you might need to train
Because in every regret there is a lesson to be learnt or some sort of upside
So why continue to swim against the current when you can ride with the tide

Can you really be any and everything you want in life
Having a big house, fancy car and a beautiful wife
Known by many and hated by few
Have all the solutions when no one else knows what to do
Knowing all the right people in high places
Having a great family and being able to put smiles on their faces
Well the possibilities are there if you take into consideration your lifestyle
Are you willing to go the extra mile
How much are you prepared to give up and for how long
Maybe a few nights a week with the boys on the town
Or anything that possibly might get in your way
Apply more work and a lot less play
When everyone is out and about and having fun
Your deep in the books and working a ton
How much is too much
Its not as easy as we make it out to be
Because for most people it's only a dream we hope to see
Only since no one has yet found a formula for success
But through hard work, determination and discipline there is access
We are born equal in every form and fashion
And maybe it has to do a lot with our passion
But if you can give up as much as you need to
For as long as you have to
The possibilities are out there if you have a high aim
Because once again people have done it in the past who were born equal and just like us the same
So why not you
Why cant you have it all and fulfill everything in life there is to do

I'm not going to lie or be afraid to say
I've made alot of mistakes in my day
I'm human and not trying to use imperfection as an excuse
But I've tried to do what's right everytime I've ever had to choose
Reality is your not always going to get the right card in your first or even your second pull
And these choices do affect many people
Whether it's good or bad
Someone will feel sad and someone will feel mad
Because when you do make that one choice you can't make the whole world happy
Appreciate the fact a person knows how to make their own choices
And even sound their own voices
Even if you don't like it or it doesn't fit into your expectation
Chances are someday along the line in time you'll be in the same position
Then visa versa will be in effect
No one who is imperfect should judge another who is imperfect
By default we are all imperfect so who's to say who is worse or even different
So i guess we are on the same wave length to a certain extent
So often we forget how short life can be
And the reality that tomorrow we may never see
Life has it's fair share of surprises
Which often may surface in different disguises
We all are no angels and we've all done things we probably shouldn't have
But should that determine how we see each other as an individual
I'm sure our good deeds overweighs our mistakes if we put them side by side in a seat
We all want happiness and the world at our feet
Somewhere along the line we need to forget our needs and wants
Think about someone else first for once
We just need to give more and take less
That's how the human race works at its best
Everyone feels obligated to contribute to each other's living
Because at this point receiving is much better than taking
Many of times I ask myself what is love really all about
In theory it’s an intense feeling of deep affection to a person or thing without a doubt
But it’s more than words can describe and deeper than any man can probably say
With constant room for improvement from day to day
Love can be good and love can be bad
It can make you glow or it can drive you mad
Cause when things are good its heaven but when it’s bad it becomes hell
And anyone who has lived it would be able to tell
So many people throw the word love around
Giving it so little value when it is said as bad as it sound
Often they lack the ability to differentiate between loving and being in love
That’s why so many relationships never make it
Because just before it ends they aren’t even sure they even loved you a little bit
Love is easier and more desirable when it’s pure
Without the rules, high expectations, intensity and everything else I’m sure
It usually gets this way when titles are just around the corner or in sight
Then the other half think they have the right to be upset and start a fight
Maybe ill never fully be able to describe love
But I do know love is much easier to be shown that to be explained
So for now I’ll just stick with what I know and give it a rest

Believe it or not
Positive thinking is what it’s all about
Success rarely comes with little or no confidence
But more with a sense of faith, belief and a touch of arrogance
As we all would want success to be constant in our lives
Because with more success comes more confidence in our future strives
Confidence is not about being perfect
It’s about completing what’s ahead of us to the best of your ability in ever aspect
While perfection is all or nothing when it comes to success
And just knowing you can get anything done is half of any process
Who wants to believe and trust in anyone who doesn’t believe in one’s self
Would you rather be a lion for one day or a mouse for life
A tall giant or a small little elf
Having confidence in yourself gives off a positive energy
In whatever form or fashion it maybe
This usually captures the attention of others who will help in what your goal will be
Sometimes it’s not the easiest thing to do even when it comes to fame
As everyday we aren’t always on top of our game
Most of the time it’s because it can be out of our control
Even though it should be our first goal
Confidence is so much more than we probably think
Because it could change everything in a blink or even a wink
By Romelle Burgess
Wrong over right comes so natural in human nature
Even though this what we try not to nurture
But there comes a choice in every adventure
From the smallest visions
To the biggest decisions
Whether we want to admit it or not the fact remain
Human nature carries a negative stain
When we speak of human nature we naturally follow it with the doing of wrong
Where we have been using our human nature as an excuse for far too long
Always mentioning the fact that we are human and not perfect
But why can’t human nature be tied to a positive effect
Probably because human minds are naturally negative
With little or no room for a new perspective
It’s so much easier to choose wrong over right when no one is around
Then right is only done or promised when you’re found
Our human nature as we call it is really a choice if we can see it or even if we are inconsequent
It’s a choice of good or bad lead by the imperfection of a negative environment
Coming from the influence of our wants and needs at high steaks
In a world of fast result doing what ever it takes
This is were negative demeanors and imperfection is the outcome
Just as our human nature is what we allow it to become
By Romelle Burgess
It’s impossible to please everyone at the same time
As it is to please one person all the time
The reality is that’s how life was meant to be
Nothing is a guarantee
Even with the thought of sacrifice
It’s still as unlikely as aiming for a seven with one throw of a dice
With this in mind
It’s easy to fall behind
Since you can’t always be who you really are
This is where inconsistency commences
Due to the fact your actions aren’t guided by what you believe or by your happiness but of someone else’s
Slowly you start to lose track of who you once were
And where you’re heading become so unsure and blur
Then it’s only a matter of time before you fall short
Where most of the time it doesn’t matter to even the people you had at heart
Cause in their eyes you didn’t make them smile
So take a while
Find yourself, find happiness, and find your boundaries and where you’re allowed
Believe in what you do and feel proud
Because it only takes one scenario for everything to turn around
And before you know it what you had before might never be sound
And all your time and efforts would go unnoticed and unrewarded
So try to live your life to the fullest without regret and enjoy everything you ever did

Some people come into your life for a life time
And some people come for one season during your life time
But they all leave foot prints in our hearts
Whether they are good or bad when you part
It’s hard to get to know someone day by day
Just to eventually see them fade away
Probably a good thing everyone doesn’t stay
Most people eliminate themselves which is probably best
And you’re left to figure out the rest
In times of need and times when you’re trying to succeed
It will be revealed who you can trust and who will do you a good deed
Cause lifetimes stay around to help with your heavy loads
While seasonal stay around only when you’re traveling on flat, smooth roads
In this world of fakes, imposters and maybes
It’s not as easy as taking candy from babies
But if you look deep enough you will see
No one ever said it would be easy
Identifying the real from the imposters
The lifetime from the seasonal visitors
They aren’t a lot of lifetimes around
On the other hand a lot of seasonals can be found
The hardest dilemma is to let go of a seasonal who you thought was a lifetime When realizing someone who you thought was a seasonal would actually be there for you everytime
Never the less you keep it real and stay strong
And surround yourself with the ones who really want to stay around
The ones who carry that lifetime bound

Thou shall not kill
Yet still the execution of criminals is not at a stand still
What gives a human the right to take another’s life
To chase after another man’s wife
Forgetting that man shall not covet thy neighbor’s wife or thy neighbor’s ass
But everyday we continue to do it all over again while asking for forgiveness for out past
Thou shall not bear false witness
But yet again we get involve and lie about people’s business
As the fight goes on for gay marriages in our nation
When man should not lie with man as he lay with woman because it’s an abomination
Simple guidelines and rules
And we as people just continue to play the part of a fool
So easy for people in high places to take advantage of the system
Taking no consideration for others while treating them as if they were an item
So who will police the police’s actions
It’s not right to just wait to see people’s reactions
Who will judge the judge’s judgment
While making sure they live up to each and every commandment
Who give an executioner the right to execute
To take a human’s life as if he was as worthless as a dead root
Who makes a soldier’s job okay or even alright
When your duty is to kill on sight
Why go over vows and get wed
If you need more than one woman in your bed
We live so much for our wants and needs for so long
We continue to forget right from wrong
But all the answers we need came from above
And are all written in the book of life
By Romelle Burgess
Imagine a world with everyone the same
Quite honestly I think it would be pretty lame
Having everything guarantee to be perfect
Chances are it might not be worth it
Because in this world there is a place for each and ever individual
Just the words perfect world could make u blind and a bit gullible
having a world with no wants and needs
But then again who would reap our corn and pull our weeds
Who would take up the post of the janitor
Again in a perfect world there would be no need for police or even to be monitor
Once more who would be taking our garbage away
Who decides who sits in the presidents chair everyday
Honestly it sounds like alot more confusion
Caused by a perfect illusion
It Probably is better after all the world is not perfect
As you can see it would probably have a bad effect
So appreciate each and every different race
And the things they bring to the table to make the world a better place
Because however you look at it
The world will never be perfect
Due to the fact diversity and imperfection will always probably be needed

So often we say we live in regret
