You Do, Do Maya Angelou

"So correct is Maya Angelou, “Nothing will work unless you do” Sweat and hard work is not enough, You need to be strong and mentally tough Strong in integrity and motivation, With focus and determination Self worth and happiness are also key, To have that balance in “me” To insure what I claim for me, I am capable to share with “we” Hard to give when you are broken, Or to receive by the same token So each day accept who you are, Knowing that life leaves a few scars As we seek to define, Where our priorities align Decisions are always hardest, When you’re at your weakest Or confused by your emotions, Which hinder our forward motion Toward that which we want, Because indecision haunts Be motivated instead, to explore, What you really want and more Believing that you will get through, Because everything works when you do"
