All That You Invest
Do you grow as a person everyday?
Do you make damn-sure to laugh?
Do you believe in yourself and all you can do?
Or do others tend to speak on your behalf?
I've been there, down and dragging my feet,
Unsure whether I deserved more.
I know the feelings of unworthiness and shame,
Of questioning what I'm here for.
Finding direction and a strong sense of self,
Is difficult, that's for sure!
But if you keep getting back up and trying again,
You'll discover, for yourself, what has allure.
You don't have to be perfect, no-one is;
Just be yourself, it's what you do best!
With time and effort, success will come,
And it'll be worth all that you invest...

You write them and I will read them. Think about it. Not very many WAers write poetry (I only know of you) and I love poetry (I'm just a rhythm and rime kind of guy). Thank you for taking the time to create your poetry. DAN
I'm surprised that I'm the only one who writes poetry when there are so many people here on WA!! It's something I've done since I was a kid. I don't rethink much, I just write whatever comes to me. It's nice to have an opportunity to share it with people and to get so much positive feedback.
Thanx again for reading!

Thank you for those words!
Staying focused and investing all the time you can will get you there!
Some may take longer than others!

Hi Sheila
I'm one of the slower ones - lol!! At least so far here on WA. I guess it's partly due to joining the month before Christmas!! Such a busy time. I'm hoping to have more time I nice the kids go back to school. Thanx for taking the time to read my poem. I really appreciate it!!

Thanks for this, this rings very true with me, always feeling like the invisible one or not being heard in a room full of people, this is why I love WA as it builds confidence and people reply and enjoy what you have to say, much love and keep doing what your doing :-)
Hi Heidi,
I know exactly what you mean! When I did my first poem on here I was shocked by all of the responses. Words that I tend to write for myself actually interest people?? Wow! There certainly are many kind and supportive people on WA aren't there?
Thanx for reading my poem.

Love this as we have all been there but remember that you and only you is responsible for what happens in your life and if you love yourself and love what you are doing then as you love your life your life will love you back and sill show you in many ways !!
Best regards. Paul
Thanx for reading my poems Paul. It's very much appreciated!! I definitely am good at being hard on myself...sometimes too good - lol! I've been trying really hard to correct that bad habit though and be thankful for all I have.
All the best,
Jenn
