Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

I'd like to thank the academy

I’ve given giving

up a lot of thought

 

and have decided

I’m not that tough

 

to face the thought

of failure every day

 

not that hanging in

has been a thrill

 

there are in fact

a lot of people I could kill

 

but I’d have to deal

with that reflection

 

masochism saves me

the sweet pain of failure

 

the interior narrator

laughing at my every defeat

 

and the one in a million times

I win him over those times

 

when he’d rather be at dinner

it’s almost worth

 

the humiliations

I carry on the plate

 

I’d just like to say

I could have done it without him

 

It’s not that I don’t appreciate him

there are just some things

 

one alone has to face

A deed is but by intent
To start is in our hands
Patiently persevering
Having faith and belief
Prayers to perceive
But the outcome
Is not in our hands
It rests upon one power

Failure or success
Depends upon hard work
Right intentions
But above all
Never tell your moves
Before you achieve
People spoil everything good
So quietly go on
Success will be yours
