My Own Pace

My Own Pace

A Poem by Jackie
"

I could do without the struggle. I could do without the fight. Without the trouble it would invite. Where it remain subtle, to keep things light

"

I could do without the stress

I could do without the pressure

Without all the extra mess

At my own pleasure

When I got so much to confess

So much to endeavor

With so much time to invest

With so much to adventure

With no time, no time to rest

So much to do, to put together


I could do without the struggle

I could do without the fight

Without the trouble it would invite

I prefer to keep things light

Where it remain subtle

To keep things right

Where my knees

don't buckle


I could do without the race

I could do without the mission

Without the errors that I would face

This is my decision

I prefer it at my own pace

I prefer it not be a competition

This is so well composed and rhymed. It also conveys the importance of not always being in the competitive spirit . Great!
