My Life To the Tenth Degree

Living a life full of confusion
Just trying to figure it all out
Hope I can find some solution
To rid myself of all this doubt

Wanting to do it the right way
Yet it's a never ending battle
Matters not what they all say
Like my soul they try to rattle

I won't give in easily you see
In me there's much more fight
I live my life to the tenth degree
As I always shed a bright light

I recall hearing the phrase "the tenth degree"...must google afterwards and refresh my memory. I enjoyed this little write, Brenda. You know I favour a lot of your writing when it has that touch of feistiness attached to it...whatever the mood of the poem. Much affection! :) john
