"The only requirement of having a dream is believing in it."

Molly Barker, Author

_________________________________________

I have been doing a lot of thinking
      'cause to the past I am clinging
and pondering who exactly I am
   am I warrior or a lamb . . . 
one thing quite positive is my inking
      yet, I must get with the program

have a tranquility some do not get
      but past sorrows hard to forget
I push sadness away to stay present
   accepting that my soul is bent . . .
I believe that I can change my mindset
      yes, will work to end the torment
