Notes About The Poem

(My first attempt to write an alphabet poem.)

Zapped

As I go through life
Believing in my ability it
Causes me to strive harder to
Deliver the best I would
Ever expect of myself.
Fearing failure I
Gauge my value on
Happiness achieved and
Insist on not
Judging myself too harshly while
Keeping my eye on the prize.
Listening to
My conscience as it guides me
Nearer to the
Open
Places I
Quietly encounter while
Reading or writing a
Story
That takes me
Under the rainbow
Very far from
Where I was and not seeing the
X that marked the spot when
You
Zapped me with the gift.
