Tim Ryerson Poet Rhyme

He's Baaack - My Spirit

Got knocked on my rear
But gained understanding
Oh yeah, I'm still here
Oh YEAH, I'm still standing

God made me survive
His hard-knockin' school
Hey world, I'm ALIVE 
And I'm comin' for YOU

So glad I got in
So what if I suffer?
What don't do me in
Just makes me tougher...

"What does not kill me, makes me stronger" - Friedrich Nietzsche

Andrea Dietrich June 16, 2014 at 3:42 PM Hey, Tim, so what did you do that was different from everybody else? That is my dilemma with this contest for Shadow. I just can't think of that one perfect example of my being a rebel. Anyway, I do like the way you played off the theme of this contest. btw, you never answered my soupmail!!!

Carolyn Devonshire June 14, 2014 at 2:13 PM Hi Tim, I agree with Carrie about this being good advice. I did have some smiles reading it, especially the "school of hard knocks" reference. Seems that the longer we live, the tougher our skin. Best wishes in the contest!

Carrie Richards June 13, 2014 at 6:24 PM This is good advice for all of us......never let defeat keep us from dusting ourselves off, and trying again!! Good advice, my friend!! Carolyn Devonshire June 14, 2014 at 2:27 PM Absolutely, Carrie. We should never succumb to one defeat if we have the option of making a rebound.

Jan Allison June 13, 2014 at 11:19 AM Love the final line of this brilliant rhyme Tim. Good luck in the contest. Hugs Jan x
