My Path - Poem

My Path

Danielle Myre 01/18/2013

I'm doing this for me.

My strength is not my own. 

Friends make me smile,
And family gives me courage. 

Not every day is good, 

And some people are cruel, 

But I must turn a blind eye, 

And ignore those hated words.

At times I'm my own enemy, 

My mind can be poison. 

Put a hand over my mouth, 

Please silence this doubt. 

Remember this is for me. 

I want my dreams to be real. 

Desires are my fuel, 

If I run out I have to fill back up. 

I work to succeed, 

And promise to accomplish. 

I will let my desires burn, 

And let nothing block my path.
