Straightforward

Answerable to no one, thoughts are free Belonging a choice, settle in or flee Charter a course, any direction Decide the stops, make a connection Engineer all you wish to achieve Find your vision, just believe Generate always forward motion Hard work required, no get rich quick potion Ideally you'll get lucky or be naturally gifted Just don't linger too long with unsifted Kick off each day with a goal boosting task Last thing at night, focus in on your ask Meditate on your goals, you'll get there soon Never giving up on shooting for the moon Only not starting means you don't come close People forget that's what happens the most Quiet contemplation, review what went right Relax when you need to, keep own wellness in sight Scope out quick wins, they help you along Take a breather resting ain't wrong Undertake to help others, then they'll help you Venerable success and feel goods too Watch out for cheats though, always be wise Xeroxed clones we don't need disingenuous lies You be authentic, follows your own leads Zoetic, poetic, kinetic surely succeeds

Thank you Valsa! I find acrostics and abecedarians write themselves - perhaps because I've been playing Scattagories at work :)

It's for Silent Ones contest and I literally picked up my pen (well device and fingers) and started writing. It's a fun form if the words keep on coming, less fun when you get stuck on x haha thanks for your kind words
