Why Still Try

Imagine still thinking There’s some way To please everyone It’s simply impossible No matter how we try It can’t be done There are people who Live to kibosh dreams They lurk in the dark They’re everywhere And can’t be avoided Keep your face to the sun Chase your dreams Follow your star Realize your destiny Be proud and live your life To please yourself AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Posted on October 27, 2018

Yup, great message: It's such a shame to waste one's life worried about what others think. :) gw

I was congratulating my granddaughter once on painting a glorious canvas that said "be you." She laughed. Many moons later I realized that I have painted over fifteen canvases that say "be you". This poem reminded me of that, Line.
