Writers

by Tommy   Apr 8, 2008


Pressure is placed on all shoulders,
Promising futures are often sought,
Beauty lies with unsuspecting beholders,
With lessons, that have yet been taught.

Prosperity awaits, those who endeavor,
The highest of highs and lowest of lows,
With inspiration and thoughts so clever,
As you embark on this journey you chose.

The memories of yesterday's corruption,
Haunt the ambition of tomorrow's dreams,
Beware of life's complicated interruption,
For nothing shall ever be what it seems.

Your word is your greatest possession,
As only you have the power to betray,
For some, manipulation becomes profession,
A modest influence is what they'll portray.

Remain faithful to yourself and desires,
Never jeopardize, for a moment of glory,
Hard work and heart is all life requires,
We're all writers of our own life story.

    Tommy,

    How this has been overlooked I will never know. It is one of the most sincere reads I have read in a long time. It's honest and has a lot of power behind it. It tells a lot in only a few stanzas but quality definitely outweighs quantity here.

    'Remain faithful to yourself and desires,
    Never jeopardize, for a moment of glory,
    Hard work and heart is all life requires,
    We're all writers of our own life story.'

    This stanza is the most honest as we must always remain true to ourselves as if we don't then who else will we remind true to. Also, I love the ending we do write our own life story and our paths because I believe we do have one road mapped out for us.
    Such a powerful write all around.
