X FACTOR
X factor which comes with ease...
All of us have one of these.
So what happens to be yours?
Found within you, its applause
Relying on you to appease.
Do not think yourself a freak...
This is what makes you unique.
Distinguishing you from the crowd...
Allowing you to stand tall - proud,
Regardless of form and physique.
A talent, skill or quality...
Sometimes a mix of the three.
Whatever is your prowess...
Evident when you express
Possession of ability.
Your X factor and its fill...
Obvious, or hidden still?
Whether confident or shy...
At the least, give it a try.
Likely, it will come at will.
If you struggle to display,
Practice makes perfect... they say.
Keep at it with your persistence.
Eventual in its existence...
Constant, consistent obey.
Remember also - this, they say...
Rome was not built in a day.
Time and effort mandatory
If you wish to tell your story...
Without these, it goes astray.
Everybody starts somewhere
Regarding what they have to bear.
In your somehow and some way,
Do not leave it to someday...
Act now without stop and stare.
Are you certain of your niche?
A piece of cake, or slice of quiche?
All that you can do is try it.
Otherwise, it may stay quiet...
Waiting for you to unleash.
