Sifting through the same old fusillade,
sorry but you missed your target.
Brushing off the bob and weave,
sent it right back to you.
Can't beat the shadow
who learned to move.
You taught me
to win
out.

Captured my soul in ransom

procrastination wanted to be my name.
my esteem threatened to be as wee as an elf.
trying to better myself was the game.
i tried shadowboxing with myself.
hey, i started to be on time one day.
i patted myself on the back.
i got a make over, by the way,
and cut myself some slack.
random acts of kindness took work,
but i found i was glad to do it.
complaining less nearly drove me berserk,
but it did help to increase my wit.
being human still makes me meek and fallible.
i just try to make amends and smile.
my esteem is now eye-height and tangible.
saying sage quotes as a winner is my style.
