time spent questioning
your life
would be better spent
on its improvement,
what power is there
in playing the victim,
in becoming
a self-made martyr;
your strength
comes from experience,
that takes living,
facing down the challenges
of each day,
adapting, overcoming,
moving ahead,
carrying on
that is your path:
forward

Unbending
I will not yield
to the unbending will of time,
though I know it is a battle
I cannot win
I will do all I can
to ensure what time remains
is as productive as possible -
limiting idleness and waste -
I will treat each minute as a gift
to be treasured,
not bending beneath the weight
of its passing
I will not sacrifice a second,
I will fill my time with life
At Work
what stands before you,
the weight upon you,
it is not personal,
the world is not conspiring
against you,
you have not been chosen;
we are but specks
of the finest dust,
we are just part of the machine;
the obstacles we face
are the circumstances
of living a life,
I can still take the air
there is breath in my lungs,
I am nothing
I have choices
I am free
