Andrew Crisci Poet Rhyme

Resolving To Do Better

Being average is not enough for a reward,
resolve to do better and be a champion...
someone moving forward, not going backward;
keep your focus on resolution, don't lose direction.    


If I had done that, I would have a fewer regrets,
been more confident and enjoyed life more as the true achievers;
are the deligent ones ever influenced by dissidence?
No, they're strong-minded and take great risks without dilemmas! 


I would have been much happier, stronger and healthier,
if I had diverged and taken another path... 
by not listening to those voices of dissuasion that 
increased my distraught, throwing me into disorder.


I have learned as others have and defeating my plans,
I conquered nobody or nothing and nearly ceased to exist...
I couldn't give or feel joy as my outlook on life was the worst;
today, I'm resolving to do better by not forfeiting my chances.
