Efficacious Ii - For Adult Contest

 EFFICACIOUS ii - (“FOR ADULT CONTEST”)

Despite how difficult it is everyone has to grow up.
Embracing the world with or without an agenda,
Adulthood is such a SWOT analysis.

Strengthen to progress…
Weaken in the process…
Opportunity is a knock away.
Treat yourself with positive thinking.

Step forward with your bat.
Strike and maybe it will leave the ballpark.
If you strike out, do not fret.
Life as an adult has its disappointments.
Next step is coming up fast.
Hang tough so that you will be who laugh last.
Your strides diversify.
This is the true meaning of being an adult.
You are your own self-worth.

[End of Poem]

Philosophical Tenet: 
We are our own creation!
