Self Actualization

SELF ACTUALIZATION – Double Acrostic
For Contest

(S)hine from within, looking at insights
(E)ver so deep with ease
(L)et your soul dance and swivel
(F)ind the truth and belief

(A)ct with strength of the Sierra
(C)onquer with logic
(T)ry to learn from mistakes that
(U)ndermind positive changes in you
(A)gony comes with negativity, so find stamina
(L)augh at anything you can loudly at will.
(I)t is a healing refreshing release, like reiki
(Z)ap yourself with reality, just like a whiz
(A)pproach things with an open mind at sea
(T)hink about others feelings in all that
(I)s done, as innocent have no need for alibi
(O)nly the stubborn will choose not to do
(N)ever let go of your purpose within

Great job, acrostic not only accomplished (double), but the content flows with great content. No acrostic could ask for more ... CayCay
