Never Lose Yourself

NEVER LOSE YOURSELFNever let them drift away in a whirl of windThe dreams and goals, aspirations, youThrough my eyes, talent left to rot is a sinDetermine we must our lives, a clueThere are many talent-filled, but shiftlessKnowledge abounds, the potential, but trapped, forsakenObstacles, low self esteem, the plagues, one lessNot I, I declare, not a piece but the pie I have takenYour foundation, your chance that foot in the door, you must createWhen an opportunity knocks, rend the door from its hingesNever lose the faith that carries you, never waitPerhaps I am extreme, one of the few, one of the fringesLet us hasten together through the narrow opening, I transmitLet us, not just I, remember the rest, fulfill the ultimateI am only sure of one truth, my destinyAnd as I rise, you shall rise with me.Kimberly L.

  • Hey Kimberly,
    Just a thought, I know that public speaking is hard and gut wrenching for many people but the old saying really is true, practice really does make perfect. I too did not like public speaking but I have used some really good advice that I came across many years ago and I now really like public speaking, I feel that I can really connect with a group in a way that I could not any other way. I think the world would really enjoy hearing you read your poetery aloud someday. As I know I truely would. Keep up the good work.

  • Truly inspirational. Thank you for sharing.

    I love these two lines:
    Your foundation, your chance that foot in the door, you must create
    When an opportunity knocks, rend the door from its hinges
