To Eat Or Not To Eat


To eat or not to eat-that is the question:

Whether ‘tis easier to eat to satisfy

Or work and sweat to thin down,

Or to eat food and not make weight

And, by failing, ruin chance.

 

To run, to wrestle-

No more-and by falling behind your team

The disappointment and the bad self determination

That takes control over you-‘tis a situation

That is not easily fixed.

 

To believe, to lead-

To sacrifice, push oneself to achieve. Ay, there’s the solution,

For in belief of oneself what conquer fear may go,

When we have worked to this final destination,

Must give us reward.

There’s the drive

That makes winners of the ordinary.

For who wants to be the best one,

The easy decision, the smart athlete’s determination,

The strength of your will, the amount of heart,

The passion of your drive, and the effort

That strengthens your ability of accomplished goals,

When he himself make his mind up

With a passionate decision?

 

Who would question it,

To judge and question another’s grand goals,

But that the decision of some after view,

The uninformed individuals from whose views

Don’t meet my goals, questions the direction

And tries to force their beliefs

Than try to understand my desires?

 


Thus believing in myself makes me stronger,

And thus the others views unimportant

Is driving me to be my best,

And sacrifices are part of strength and commitment

With this my goals can be met

And victory the goal.
