Welcome back, I just got done doing another 15-Minute Workout. I admit, this Workout was not as long and laid out like my previous ones. As a matter of fact, it didn't flow like the other ones did, but I think that it still represents me and my thought process well enough. Either way, read it and tell me what you think. Shoot me a message and speak your piece! Come back for more! Peace!
15-Minute-Workout - Part Six
Lately I’ve been tired and tested
Tested and tried
Can’t and won’t lie
Looking myself in the eye
Refuse to be denied
Surprised that I haven’t cried
But I choose life over it all
My words will never signal “die”
Acknowledging the tongue’s power
Speaking to six-feet up or down
Appreciating every waking hour
Being optimal whether the chips are up or down
Hearing the cliché that “life is a gamble”
So variable, making it hard to handle
But it’s also said “high-risk, high-reward”
So apprehension now gets dismantled
Going for it all
Give me the “W”
Another one besides my name
Putting my doubts as low as the ground under you
Pressing on to the greater
Better now than later
Accepting encouragement from my circle
Ignoring the squares - better known as haters
Throwing the negative back like “Now-n-Laters”
Since it isn’t always so short and sweet
I speak positive feedback
Throwing the Joyce Meyer CD on “repeat”
It’s all I ever speak
And still I stay humble
Murmuring from me is minimal
Long ago I stopped every single grumble
Looking at my pieces of work
Granted I don’t find peace at work
Unless it’s my own tears, sweat, and blood
Then it’s easier for me to see the labor in the love
Seeing my efforts culminate
I remember when it all started
Like protecting classic watches – I saved the date!
Since, for me, that is when it all re-started
My words were taken note of
Feeling respected and regarded
No longer feeling guarded
I let loose on paper sheets
Somehow I found different ways to say the same thing
Various ways for my ink and paper speech
And when the ink and paper meet
For me, it feels special
Losing sleep from time to time doing this
I don’t mind – I’m onto something special...
