Note to my struggles..

I need to stop procrastinating. I need to stop waiting for the things to happen for me. I need to gather up and get going, because, I never know when my clock will stop ticking.

Reading another poem from Alabi. Looks like I will be her fun for life..

Vagaries of this life can be
Tough and hard to fathom,
And yet have they conquered me?
Look how far I've come.

As I climb up its hill,
Slopes and jagged edges and all,
There are times I slip but still
At no time did I fall.

As I tread along its way
Sometimes I run into bends,
Stumbling blocks on some days
But never into dead ends.

As I sprint down its lane,
Hurdles seem to abound,
Yet the tripping now and again
Still can't bring me down.

Whims of life that lie in wait
Though I may not have a clue,
Firm is my will, strong is my faith.
My God will see me through.

Unique

I started the day today, thinking about myself. What I can do to make things better in my life. How I can take control back of my own life. Off-late, I am feeling that I am losing myself and losing my identity. I feel that I have lost the confidence, the zeal I had before , not to change the whole world, but just to change my own small world. I am turning 40 in an year. I feel I lost a decade losing myself for someone else. Now is the time to change the gears. Now or Never!

 Read this thought provoking poem by Abimbola T Alabi..It just suits me so very much.


Because I know who I am,
I'm at ease and free.
I can't be like others,
And they can't be me.

I've got fading scars,
An unusual physique,
But it all works together
To make me unique.

I've got hidden strengths,
Some obvious flaws.
Still I am who I am,
For better, for worse.

I don't have to blend in;
I won't live a lie.
I can't please everyone;
I won't even try.

Some call me proud;
Others stare at me in alarm.
But I'm not one to bother,
Because I know who I am.
