~Balance Beam~

Grip your path tight and watch your Steps
Never give ground and hold no Regrets
It's your poker hand and everyday's your tests
And since it's your own ass, always take those Bets

With hand over foot and step by Step
Go On! create your own ruckus and raise that Rack-ett
Lift that bar and slam that Ball
Match, Game or Set...It's all your Call

Thou your pathway is narrow, Don't ever Let
Belief in yourself falter, is what you should never Forget
So fuck it if you fall, just still stand Tall
Pick your ass up quickly and go strong again at that Wall

Focus on your realities
But never forget your Dreams
Where the skies are not your Limits
And every star is within your Reach                                       

Today's will always be Past
And your tommorrow's last Forever
So it's your choice to dwell in self Misery
Or take your steps towards something Better

I feel for those who Fall
And refuse to get The Fuck Up
For there's always helping hands for those who Try
But rarely for those who just...."Give Up"

So you can lay down on the ground and Die
But it'll only be because of your lack of "Will" to try
So heads up, straigthen up, eyes forward and Strut
Cause it's your Balance Beam and you should be the 1st to give a Fuck!

For it's your life, where each and everyday's a Balance
And not just living on the edge of an Extreme
So know all your moments, whether good or Bad
Are all part of Your Grand Scheme....This is Your ~Balance Beam~

Welcome To Life!!!

It's Your Path...
It's Your Steps...
It's Your LIFE...

So Balance Your Beam
Success Is Always Just A Few Steps and a Fall Ahead

Now Pick Your Ass Up!!....And Strut!!!
Get the Point


Peace

    The gutter exists so we can grasp the curb and pull ourselves up ... sometimes sad to say there is no hand to help so we are on our own. I'm not one for excessive cursing because I think if we have a decent vocabulary there is not a need to emphasize our thoughts with vulgarity.
  • Hmm.. I thought this might be something different, but it’s all to familiar. I’ve read poems like this one too many times. Don’t get me wrong, it is a good write. But it could use some editing the whole ending of it seems kind of rough. Like someone took sandpaper to your words. I think if you reviewed it, you’d maybe see that the ending seems very “forced” for lack of a better word. It’s sad that society can be so willing to let people fall, I feel for those that fall and never seem to get back up. So, this poem was truly not what I thought it would be, but I see your personal views clearly. So you did do well at getting the point across.

    I was one of those that gave up but I realised I need to pick myself up (with some help of course) because... well life is given to be lived. Lovely poem... very inspiring... carry on the good work.
  • This is a good write, however I think the cussing kinda spoiled it. Keep up the good work, and I@ll read more of your writes soon.

    All the best,

      If you ever get the chance take a look on Amazon Book called "Off The Asphalt" a spirit paved in Gold is my 1st collection of writings. The ones you see here on AP will be developing into my Volume II draft titled to be called "Back Alleys" In search of the dying Soul.
      My 2nd Poetic Anthology Collection. I self publish.

      What do you think?

      Thank You very much for your heartfelt responses and comments to my writings.

      I truly appreciate your feedback and taking the time to read, connect and enjoy my writings. I hit from aqll sides with my poems.
      Expression of the soul at any particular point. Some of my poems are harsh and direct, while other are polite and direct but bottom line in all my poems, there will always be a moral to express a point of view to raise thoughts of the mind and not to just make statements of fiction. I look to reach and in doing so I think I actually reach myself. Does that make sense. I find myself in my writings for I dwell on them after writing too.

      Anyway I am sorry for rambling but I truly thank you for expressing your appreciation for my writings. truly Thank you Lady

      Have A Good Night - Anthony

    I know personally that the valley existed in my life so that I could look up to see the mountain. No need to stay down under though. The air is much fresher up top. I like what you've written here poet. First impressions are lasting. This is powerful and true to course. I will return.


    Much Love & Respect ♥
