My Character is My Own

My Character is My Own

 

I can do what nobody else can because I am me

I am an individual and free of mind

Free to make my own decisions; to choose; to try;

to fail; to succeed

 

It’s not always easy being me

But as long as I seek to improve what I can

and never sacrifice the good in me to please others

I will always be able to conquer adversity

 

I must realize and accept that some things I cannot control

While at the same time there are many things that I can

I will not be controlled by the uncontrollable

 

I will be pleased of the things that I am not

And proud of all that I am

I am me because that is exactly what I want to be

 

J.H.

Would you mind if I posted this above my desk, to view each day as I write. Would you mind if I hung this by my front door, to inspire me to greet the day. You have opened my eyes with this wonderful poem. I am truly in awe of your talent. TS

Your compliment not only made my day but is something that keeps me writing and sharing. Thank you my friend!

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
