Missive To Self

Hey buddy
I can’t tell how you feel
How you cope and slope
How you firmly grasp hot steel
Methinks you`re courageous.
In stoic life’s state, just state
no crime!
For you have one irreplaceable, valuable
and unbreakable thing.
You!
Remember a promise to self huh?
You promised.
You sang, and wrote and developed
emblazonment.
Conspicuous for sundry
No running out of optimistic posits
Amid endangered deposits
You promised to smile and not to tear down.
In somberness ought you not frown.
Didn’t you identify with dynamic?
Singing songs of the versatile?
They still echo loud as yesterday
Hope you won’t be tempted to yawn
Just in case you inhale toxic, killer and apoptotic ideas
They`re never audible, not at all edible
Their entrances just whispers, slowly waltz
Hey buddy, Give up!

Reject those thoughts that are toxic. Be positive and live a productive and meaningful life. Nice poem, Heman. Bill

Sure. It's nice I reiterated that. I wrote this on the brink of falling apart after completing my undergraduate standards but failed to graduate because of fee constraints. I felt the ally that could listen to me was pen and paper. Thanks Bill.
