Destined To Survive
Valuable lessons learnt
We are all destined for greatness
That’s does not mean it will be easy,
We won’t be handed life on a platter
No, life will definitely be uneasy.
***
Destiny is not loss of control
No, you need to choose to follow,
You’re welcome to say no
But life may be harder to swallow.
***
To live your absolute best life
You will want to do your best,
Destiny will present itself
And that’s the time to say yes.
***
I’m determined to follow Destiny
Whenever she raises her head,
It’s these valuable life lessons
That will help me get ahead.
***
I would change absolutely nothing
Unless it didn’t fit Destiny’s plan,
As it’s my total life experiences
That have forged the person I am.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
