Best Poems Written by Penelope Lamb

Contradicting

Did careful ever get you excitement?
Did reckless ever bring you distress?
Did determined ever let you relax?
And did lazy ever bring you success?
Has openness ever maintained your privacy?
Has secrecy ever built trust?
Has confidence ever brought you too far ahead?
And has confidence ever left you in the dust?
Are questions going to find you answers you shouldn’t know?
Is silence going to teach you a thing at all?
Will you ever fly if you never learn to jump?
Will you ever run if you never learn to crawl?
