I Have To Go By My Own Ideas

Everyone’s ideas are marvelous
for them
and maybe for thousands of others
but as for me
I have to go by my own ideas

Mine might be farfetched and semi- ridiculous,
but they come from my heart, my soul, and my confidence.
These three have never steered me wrong.

But they are incredulous!
Exactly!

They are outlandish!
I know.

There is a one in a million chance they will work.
I nod. “There is a chance then.”

I loved the movie "chicken run" where I stole this idea.

I love this spirit. Absolutely, you've hit the nail on the head! I loved the last two lines especially.
