Thoughts

Do I listen to my doubts, my fears Or do I note my hopes, my desires Do I listen to that little voice in me That tells me to stop being so crazy Or do I give way to the little thought I could make it reality Just maybe, it could happen to me Do I kick myself down when I wonder what its all for Or kick myself up the ass knowing I can reach far Pick myself back up, till again I’ll be feeling good Do I wallow in self-pity, when something doesn’t go my way Or pity the people that said no, knowing they’ll regret it someday Do I prove people wrong and prove myself right Or do I fall down and lose that fight? Will I keep going and face each problem, tackle each obstacle Or will it become too much, that I give in, I fail Will I keep belief, keep faith and stay confident Or will I believe those who say I can’t, that I’m arrogant Will I take it a step at a time and be patient Or beat myself up wanting self-fulfilment Will I let my insecurities get in my way Or will they make me persevere, make me stay Make me more focused, more determined Or will I break Will I go forward, even after a knock-back Or will it stop right there, because I can’t take that? How am I to know something’s right Or something’s wrong How am I to know what I can’t cope with Or when I can be strong How am I to control my destiny When sometimes I can’t control me How am I suppose to know what to listen to My heart or my mind When sometimes there telling me something so different I can’t decide Gut feeling, gut instinct, to make a decision A sensible move, or risk-taking? How am I to know? Will I get to where I want? What do I listen to? Can I struggle on? I believe I can, I know I can Have my up and down days But I’ve got to tell myself That I’ll do it my way Got to take the bad with the good And the good with the bad And you know what, I’ll be having the last laugh!
