DETERMINATION

Turbulent storms consume my mind,
Financial mistakes create a constricting bind,
Time travel I have yet to create,
My ultimate path to be determined by fate,
Advice freely given but not always readily accepted,
Inner demons unearthing fear of possibly being rejected,
So I stand still, take a breath, and wait,
My eyes clear now and head on straight,
Others’ perceptions are merely a forged illusion,
Coupled with malice to induce taunting confusion,
Your inner soul is only your operation,
Commit to it fully and without reservation,
Break free from the chains that weigh you down,
Enabling happiness to truly be found,
Head high and motivation in the right place,
Adhere to this and conquer all you face.
