Mine to Hold


It's all up to me now.. my future is mine to hold. To determine now before I grow old. 
If I do not work for it it will not be there for me. Shining bright like the sun and bright as can be. 
I need to assess my options carefully. 
Taking every step. 
In case one thing doesn't work out I will not fret. 
I will continue on as life has taught me. 
Everything I need to be free.
Everything starts with that one person. 
For my life it is me. 
I must work to pave my path and leave no stone unturned.
Learning all I can. Applying all the lessons I have learned. 
I must not let my life pass by. Fade away quickly... in the blink of an eye. 
Everything I do; the decisions I take. Decide my fate. 
I must decide before it is too late. 
If I work for it. If I trust who I am. 
Maybe then I will be able to firmly understand. 
To grasp the concept of my hopes and dreams. 
To forever climb higher on sufficient things. 
But as for now I will do what I can. 
I will and always will be...
who I am.

At such a young age I have had two poems published in books. I enjoy haiku, sonnets a very vast range of things such things including: writing, drawing, among various other things that seem ambiguous and challenge the mind. Poetry is my sanctum of freedom. Plagiarism, and copyright will not be taken lightly.
