Can't Fail

Can’t fail

 

I’ve traveled this highway of zig zag emotions

Cried every tear drop my heart it could spare

Lost out in love with the best of intentions

Stood on a corner so keenly aware

 

Looked in the mirror and saw my reflection

Counted the marks in the pain I did find

Pushed it aside leaving little detection

Smiled at this life at the front of my mind

 

Put on my pants in a fit of conviction

Pulled on these boots as I head for the door

Shoved every fear in a forceful eviction

Facing the world that does greet me once more

 

Confident eyes stare in every direction

Finding each dream will become ever true

Picking a clover to fill my collection

Grabbing that rainbow now long overdue

 

All that I am is man of precision

Strong as can be to the end of the rail

Love me or leave me, becomes your decision

I will be me for I know I can’t fail

"Love me or leave me, becomes your decision

Very right Jack you have to live your life as you see fit not by the clamour of the voices that claim to know what you should do.

[Jack...]

There are a lot of voices my friend, but I can only be me and that will just have to do. Thank you so much for stopping by. I am thrilled you enjoyed this.

We all need to validate and endorse our own selves from time to time and tell ourselves we are great as we are. That we must not change for others but only for ourselves. This poem is the perfect way of telling ourselves all this and more. Thanks for sharing this affirmation of the self.

Heart ever touching in these words.

To be or not to be is never a question. The answer is to just be... your own self whether they love/like you or not. :o) Enjoyed your piece, expressively amazing.
