Go ahead, stick with what you know.
Go for lessons meant to make you grow.
Pay no mind to the others,
Clueless to you and your goals.
They huddle up like calling plays,
Just know your route play by play.
People love to hear themselves,
Seek joy in whispers and gossip.
Talk crap about your ethics,
They lack your continuous effort.
Too focused to pay them mind,
Bring my hopes and dreams to life.
It may take me longer than I want,
I will still get to the place I want.
I don’t care how talkers see me,
Simply trying to be the best me.
Imperative that I stick the course,
Keep my balance stay on the horse.
Stick With It
The going can get tough
And life itself is rough
Don’t chomp at the bit
Stick with it
The world can be mean
A lot of changes in the scene
Don’t chomp at the bit
Stick with it
Prayers are never heard
People are absurd
Don’t chomp at the bit
Stick with it
You get no more than yes
At the why’s you have to guess
Don’t chomp at the bit
Stick with it
In life you just don’t quit
On the sidelines, please don’t sit
Don’t chomp at the bit
Stick with it
Life has twists and turns
And we have to be concerned
Don’t chomp at the bit
Stick with it
Celine Rose Mariotti
Lock down - Its' All Done now
Easy does it
So they say
As easing lock down is now on it's way
So no more longer worrying why
The reason why we even cried
So lets get back on with it
Making even more people sick
Just because we can't stick with it
As easing lock down is now on it's way
So must mean CV19
Has gone away
But has it?
Well I can't say!
DAMO
Do you know how I feel inside?
I feel alive,
I’m feeling emotions that made me hide,
living like I’d died, experience was denied.
But this is round two and Ive dealt with that before,
well I didn’t deal with it I just fell to the floor,
turned sore and felt the force of the war.
Now, I know that tactic doesn’t work,
it just drives you berserk,
so this time I’ll work through the hurt,
stick with it, endure and not desert effort.
I’m all or nothing, go or stop,
it’s all I’ve been, it's all I've got,
now it stops!
I lack patience, that’s why I became a patient,
so this time I’ll be in control and pace it,
play through the phases, adapt and change places,
marathons and sprint races, prepare for all cases.
It’s called evolution,
I won’t go back to depression,
I’m out for a solution!
Could Be New Found Capacity
Is true stick with it using my tenacity;
Encourages and increases my capacity;
Stayed in shower,
Oven an hour;
That also did expand all of my elasticity.

Got to clean up for St. James Episcopal
Church Service. Priest always starts off
with a Joke like Bush does to break the
ice. Suppose I took a sign with me that
had a bunch of ice cycles on it.
just have one
stick with it
don't let go

Struggles---
Doesn't matter if you win or lose,
What is important is the path you choose.
Truth or lies don't matter,
for a greater power resides in honesty.
Being true to self is the only key to happiness.
Value it to regain lost consciousness.
Tread the path chosen by thee.
Stick with it and do not regress,
To the fickle mind that you might possess.
Power through to achieve your aim,
without any bias or sin.
Wait long enough for the seed to bloom,
You see it worth all the pain in the end.
The fruit you bore of the blood and sweat,
shed by you to progress.
Discover the sweetness ,
in the method which won,
fructifying into an heavenly bliss.
---Udit
A birthday is always a special day
A day that comes round each year
Celebrate it and surround yourself
With loved ones far and near
This day doesn't only resemble your birth
It's also a day to enjoy
The fact your living alive with life
Every man, woman, girl and boy
As you get older you start to know
The things life has in store for you
Make every effort count in life
See your journey in life through
Don't let no joy be taken away
From you as you walk each day
Knowing that theres a purpose for something
In your life so to you I say
Challenge the impossible for nothing in life is
Speak out to those who care to hear
Where there is a roadblock theres always a passage
Battle through it year after year
Time is ticking the hour is unknown
Be wise stay encouraged and be strong
Do what it takes to make your ends meet
In this life that seems so long
Happy Birthday to all who shares this day
May this message bring warmth to your heart
Make a wish for the moment and stick with it
For everyday is a fresh new start.

I tell you, they’re melting
Back to us, Dear Listeners. It's a scarlet horizon
Sleeping with the night.
Choose one device to stick with it
Is another pain and this will be the last word for you
To night.
If you don’t like. Well, friend, to go to hell!
But believe me before you go
It’s not the blue feeling you try to comprehend
And what I have inside me with such enormous
Thing they called it L.O.V.E.
Leaving rock and sand behind.
This is the forbear, twisted
E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G from the depth
To the sea up.
My Dear Reader, I am dying. Your poetry
Or your writing will do any good to my illness.
Please, don’t cry. And go out of the light.
I stopped writing as I started watching
Everyone. Except you.
I don’t mind to die for you, My Dear One.
Just tell me if I have done it right.
a precious girl
so young and free
came up to me
and told me what she wanted
to be
i want to be a ballerina
she said
but shhe didnt understand
her every wish was my great
command
that was years ago
and man o man
they went by so slow she hates
the days
i know because its all she says
i told her to stick with it
She told me I'm full of ****
i told her to stick with her
dreams
but she just runs and screams
but on the stage
I can see her features change
into somthing new
they become bright
with a certain kind of light
and it reaches out to me
i wish i could describe
the way it makes me feel inside
its love that is unknown
and its my little girl all
grown
All good things come to an end
And this is my last gymnastics sweetheart for now
Until another gymnast comes along
And steals my heart away like each one of the five
My fifth gymnastic sweetheart is Jaycie Phelps!
Now she didn't become one of my sweethearts
Until I read her story in a book about "The Mag Seven"
And read about her never-say-quit attitude.
If there was a Cinderella story in gymnastics
Well I guess her story would rank up there at the top
Because she almost quit the sport completely back in 1993
But she stuck with it and now look at what she's become
A member of the U.S. gold medal gymnastics team "The Mag Seven"
The first time a team from the U.S. has tasted gold ever!
She didn't go on to any of the Individual events
But she still helped out the team win the gold
With solid performances in the team optionals.
Now I hope that she can stick with it
And fight through the pain that she feels everyday
Because I would love to see her try out for the 2000 Olympics!
Pressing for a goal
So far off in the distance
I reach to grasp the prize
But it disappears
From my grasp into thin air
Will the journey ever end
It's been so long
An optical allusion
As a sunset
Seen but yet so far off
Never quite in reach
Is it hopeless?
Shall I never possess it?
It's so hard to stick with it
Day by day
God help me have patience
As I am embarking on the long process
There is a light
At the end of the tunnel
Will I make it that far
To endure all the darkness
Threatening to close in
How much do I want this goal I talk about?
Whatever you set you mind to in life
Is what you will get out
I will conquer when I begin to believe
they said I was a terror people's mind,I will show em how I did it.and damn well how I
will stick with it?so try hate me break me,I won't break.so people thought this Korean boy
couldn't never make it to the top.thinking I was going to fall down craw like a baby talk
like a baby,because they said I could never do it,never do it.
so will I ever make it,or will take it..this isn't far from over
I'm climbing up this hill
thats getting steeper by the minute
thinking about this race thats life
and how I want to win
All the struggle and pain
I endure and maintain
To ensure that I gain
the courage to remain
This marathon is long
So I have to be strong
so I can stick with it for real
to get my part of the deal
I'm so tired and hurt
but I have to make it work
I have to push myself forward
all distraction ignored
This is life or death
I must pass this quest
or fail the test
and miss all the rest
Of the crap you get for winning
the respect and recognition
for not thinking about quitting
but being willing
to buckle down, shut up,
hold on tight, close your eyes,
keep your head to the sky
and roll with it.
and if you did just right
you might be surprised
but you won it.
