Welcome to a new year! I did some readings of these poems at my SGI culture/art festival while at home, they were well recieved. Let's hope I can keep up the good work and continue on with some good insights and decent poems.~ posted by Cassandra 6:03 PM . . .
A Victory A victory Everyday is a victory A victory I'm here A victory I got out of bed A victory over my desire to read A victory to get to class A victory to take only what I'll eat A victory over my dependency Remember I am a good person And I am a strong person Achieved so much Have so much Reaching for so much My self-esteem occasionally needs that boost Sometimes I forget I've got all this inside of me I go searching Outside To find something To fill It appears to be a void I know better But occasionally I need something from out there My inner-revolution My Human Revolution To change that aspect To challenge it To pull it out into the sunlight Watch it shrivel away into nothing This life is hard Life is difficult That is why I'm here To challenge this To change it And by doing so Help others see Challenge Change I may have lived a charmed life That does not preclude me From changing the world From changing my home From changing me Listen up universe This is a year of victory By the end of it I'm going to have something to show to you Something big and moving I don't know what yet But it will be there I know this.
