Trauma
Some of us are victims of our environment. We can’t change a system that isn’t sympathetic to our self worth. The only way to live without trauma is to be in fellowship with others that are afflicted in the same way. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2021

Writing and sharing is my passion. I like to explore life through poetry and share my take on life's endless highs and lows.
No Body’s Fool
Our decisions shouldn’t be based on fear or favour. The only person we owe favour to is ourselves. Ingratiating ourselves to others is a failed premise. It’s either people like and appreciate us for who we are and what we stand for, or they take the next exit. Life is too short, we can’t afford […]
Humanity
We are all terminal. What is our plan? Don’t we know there is cause and effect. Aren’t we aware that the earth is a living entity. If we don’t change our ways we will be destroyed and the Earth will live on. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2021
Tragedy
Tragedy opens the door to self evaluation, and within that space we can call forth our empathy. Without empathy we become brutes. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2021
Deceit
We have to analyse what people say to us. Some people aren’t transparent, they deceive and co-opt us into acting against our self interest. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2021
Intuitive

Confidante
We have to be a friend and confidant to ourselves before entrusting our secrets to others. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2021
Always be Prepared

Is life a Stage
Is life a stage for us? Do we parade our characters irrespective of their negative portrayal? Time like water cannot be contained, it slips from our grasp, we can’t save it, we can only use it. Let’s use time to create a better world within us and in the Universe. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2021
Death
We all are in transition. Mortal man has to experience death. There is no escape. The only element that remains is our energy. We are the ones who decide whether the energy we attract and consume is negative or positive. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2021
