Shards of Bitterness

 

 

To sit around in anger…does no favours,

To bellyache to me… It’s all unfair,

To hope somebody else… comes up with answers,

To see the world’s shortcomings… flaunted there.

 

A lack of motivation keeps you grounded

Friends and family always keep you at arm’s length,

You loathe the Government’s lack of comprehension

In that joblessness depletes your hope and strength.

 

You feel those carbohydrates clog your arteries

And see your muscled body turn to flab,

Discipline’s resolve flies to oblivion

And you curse all that… which makes your life so drab.

 

Disappointment curbs your high expectations,

You feel the planet owes you that, which you seek,

Aghast to comprehend your own misgivings,

You feel the need to say…but then you never speak.

 

Then suddenly… a stark, clear realization

That NOTHING HERE WILL CHANGE…UNTIL YOU DO,

Until you turn your thinking to a good endeavour,

Till then the something that you seek… shall hide from you.

 

So look, my sweetness, look into the mirror

Shed the worry lines that always cloud your brow,

Kick your sorry arse profoundly to tomorrow

And lose the bloody shards of bitterness….RIGHT NOW!

A very motivating poem indeed...inaction only leads to more inaction...
