Carelessly Dodging Everything
When I decide to do whatever I do,
I charge forth with a full head of steam,
Carelessly dodging everything,
Go, stop, rest, go again,
In the snow, sleet, or rain,
I am not stopping until the end,
Some say fool you are,
You’re not going far,
Nothing is what you’ll get,
You’ll be filled with regret,
I laugh and I say,
Whatever,
Cause this my way,
From the night to night,
From day to day,
I do what I think,
I do what I say,
Always reaching out,
Wondering what things are about,
This is me,
This is who I be,
Reactionary, achiever, affectionate,
My life is set,
End is not end,
But a chance to begin,
Again and again,
I be me!
So, who be you,
If you can’t find something to do,
If you make excuses,
For this or that,
This isn’t where it’s at,
You may never take a stand,
Away you go, run again,
When you stop,
Don’t fall and flop,
Get up and decide what to do,
Charge forth with a full head of steam,
Carelessly, dodging everything.

At times, life seems desolate, but the inner spirit can be the strength you need, never give up, be who you are and you will go far.
