Michael Degenhardt Poet Rhyme

It's Me Alone

It is myself that holds me back
No other can be blamed
For my own actions are my choices
My life is mine, so named
I cannot sit and point the finger
To blame then for my fall
I must stand up and take the action
To go on through that wall

No boundary now can hold me back
Nor wall withstand my force
I am determined to forge ahead
I’ve finally found my course
Accountability, now is just mine
Through all the bad and good
The finger now points back at me
I am doing as I should

Lena Townsend March 11, 2009 at 7:47 AM This is so well written as always. The flow is perfect as well as the rhyme. You have a way of bringing out the readers emotions through your words and this one is one so many of us need to remember, especially me. Smiles from Lolita

Sharon Winter March 11, 2009 at 6:57 AM An important message for all, although it is written as personal introspection, it certainly rings true for me. Extremely well written. Love, Shar

Carrie Richards March 11, 2009 at 6:18 AM This should be a motto for each of us....no one else is responsible but ourselves. Well said! ~ Carrie
