REASONS FOR MY SUCCESS
If a person achieves some kind of result in the world, his parents, teachers, and relatives will definitely support him.
The key to my success in life is my parents and teachers. They have always believed in me and are always by my side. They always support me when I achieve something.
My father, being a school teacher, created a lot of conditions for us, his children, because they want us to become mature staff in the future.My father teaches physical education, so I have a special love for sports, especially table tennis, checkers, chess, volleyball, etc.I got into sports through them, that is, I took a step and achieved many results, I got 1st-2nd places at the district level, at the regional level.
My father always gives me motivation: they encourage me by saying that you can do it, you can play it.My father is happy with my every achievement. I always try to make my parents smile.I always want my parents to be proud of me.
My teachers are also the reason for my success in life.To this day, I have learned from many teachers.including my first teacher Pirmatova Shoira. She is the person who introduced me to letters. She made me interested in knowledge from my youth.
Another teacher of mine is Saidov Javlon, a german language teacher. I see this person not only as my brother, but also as my real teacher. Through him, I gained a lot of knowledge and achieved results.For example, in the 9th and 10th grades of German language, I took the 2nd place in the district and region and received a monetary award. In addition, my school team and I won 75 million soums. The main reason why I won these awards is my teacher.I think that these achievements are a great achievement. Even now, I regularly practice german with my teacher.I try to live up to the trust of my parents and teachers.
My future goals are that I will always help others in life, find my place, become a professional specialist, and strive to be the child my parents dreamed of.I realized in life that when a person wants something seriously, he will definitely achieve it, because such a desire was born in the spirit of the universe. Every person was created for this reason in life. If you set a goal, you must achieve it, so do not stop working.The whole world is with you, don't forget that. I would like to thank the people behind my success and give them a reason to be proud of having daughter and students like me.

the neon nights of my youth
listening to an
old elton john
song
thinking of the
neon nights of
my youth
where the drugs
lifted me to
endless heights
where the drinks
made me invincible
where women
seemed to still
be interested
where the yellow
brick road seemed
like it was still
possible it always
existed
-------------------------------------------------------------------
drink for courage
some people drink
for courage and
others are trying
to cope with the
pain of life
some like to unwind
and others think of
the magical powers
they suddenly posses
i find it more likely
these days that i'm
drinking to hopefully
end all of this way
sooner than the
powers that be
intended
plus, arthritis has
made it rather
difficult to hold a
gun or tie a fucking
noose
so, it's either the
bottle or a good
hose and some
duct tape
when the bottle stops
helping to write these
poems
be kind enough to
check my garage
if you don't hear
from me for a few
days
-------------------------------------------------------------------
the retired life
two cups of coffee
fall asleep in the
sun like a cat
i tell my mother
to enjoy the retired
life
she doesn't
can't come to terms
with getting older
and not being able
to do certain things
alone
i'm always there
to help
even though most
of the time she
doesn't bother
to ask
i tell her pride
will kill her faster
than any disease
---------------------------------------------------------
wars have been fought over less
soft brown skin
years of regret
a lover's lament
it was us against
the world
now we can't see
past each other to
accomplish anything
wars have been
fought over less
and no matter how
much either side
wants to give in
and let the calm
set in
pride and the ego
always get in the
way
a lack of
communication
will be the end
of us all
-------------------------------------------------------
the smallest nugget of joy
you ever noticed
the death poems
come easy
but how you
languish over
the page for
love
for happiness
for even the
smallest nugget
of joy
but death
that cold reality
the cruel mistress
that always laughs
at your pain
it's the old routine
or perhaps
you always
understood
that death was
always a part
of life
just a part that
most are unwilling
to talk about or
even consider
J.J. Campbell (1976 – ?) is old enough to know better. He’s been widely published over the last quarter century, most recently at The Rye Whiskey Review, Disturb the Universe Magazine, Carcinogenic Poetry, Lothlorien Poetry Journal and Horror Sleaze Trash. You can find him most days on his mildly entertaining blog, evil delights. (https://evildelights.blogspot.com)

Where nature walks
If a tree falls
but no one listens
then there is no peer review
Sometimes attention catches natural presence,
like flowing water turns the mill's wheel
to bring flour from grain.
The kitchen supplies
find
peer review
at the dining center.
Who's is speaking?
My Heart Speaks!
Love has an invitation open to its Kind.
The peer within
as freelance
expressing
found standing in faith
The forest speaks where faith raises ears
The fallen tree,
Bless Thy Heart
May seed freshen
Soils and sun share the expression!
Where nature walks

MULBERRY TREE
Mulberry trees should not be planted near the house,
Not even a walnut tree.
Their veins are demonic
And if they scatter, the house will ensure to stay deserted...
In the morning, the mulberry tree was wounded.
Shadow lay dead beneath him for hundreds of lost birds.
Only goats ate his flickering tops,
Which are until yesterday
It could only be reached with the eyes...

AND JUSTICE SHALL REIGN
I extremely pledge to my country
Where peace had been dwelled in the past century
To not illegally compose an abusive write_up
Because Justice must be ours and my pen can't shut up
‘...And justice shall reign' is what ended our national anthem
More also we're practising a democratic system
The national anthem composer knew then that we will need peace
That was why someone made it as a song and put it into practice
Citizens are clamouring, both left and right
Unknown to them that their leaders have denied their right
Their clamour to them is like a sweet melody
That is why they refused to find its remedy
There is rule of law according to our constitution
But law was made for the poor as we dwell in destitution
Hunger makes a poet to strike for creativity
It is unfair, this is an enormity
