Something takes me

[mashead testing]

I start again and again
I keep starting till the end
knowing, slowing realising
the world is my friend
People may come and go
people may look at me funny
people may try and hurt me
but something inside me takes control
You can't always win
you can't always lose
but if you take time to realise
then something might come through
Looking back ive made decisions
until I made that decision
delaying things to make stuff happen
all for an unknown reason
When it all falls into place nothing feels better
nothing quite like the smell of sucess
maybe not even just achieving
but knowing you've tried
The rewards of effort are endless
I sow then I reap
move my mind to a different area
everything goes back to how I percieve
I know what you are thinking
you don't have to tell me anymore
I know and it doesnt matter
ive got myself, me
In the end you can only ever have yourseld
so you got to make do
trying so hard to make this world your own
a place to call home
The world is for everyone
don't let anyone tell you thats not so
just believe and let go
sometimes something takes me
I just dont know.
But to end on not knowing would be to lose
im not here to lose
im here to try
thats right.

This has been a very good read for me - appropriate to the events in my life of the last week or so. It's hard, but you move beyond it all...
To be self-sufficient, and to be whole unto oneself - that is the best thing one could hope for; the easiest way to self fulfillment and content.
I know we don't know each other, but thanks. Not just for the poem, just thanks.
