I Stand For Who I Am

In this garden I sit in the turf,
And miles away in the sea he surfs.
On top of the world he stands tall,
My confidence at my beck and call.

A sense of inferiority and intimidation beckons,
A need to ignore and get into stride I reckon.
I won't get slain, my aspirations won't foil,
A perfect stain, I will live in the soil.

Hello SKAT, Thanks so much for the love you've shown me as I joined the 'family'. Well, I am Ghanaian who finds poetry a pleasant medium for expressing his thoughts and feelings. I am also a visual artist. I am very happy to have you as my new friend and I hope we would be best of siblings in this family. *HUGS*
