Back Pat

PoetVids - I am WriteBeLight only in Video Version :)



Can’t get that dread,

From under your skin?

Seems embedded there,

So deep within?

 

You feel such guilt.

Doesn’t go away.

Like a carpet stain,

That just won’t fade.

 

No amount of cleaner,

Or sudsy soap,

Seems to wash it away,

Feel you’re losing hope.

 

Still, must not let it,

Of you, get the best.

So you made a mistake,

You didn’t pass the test.

 

So try again,

And, again if you must.

Until you succeed,

In yourself, should trust.

 

 

You’ll feel such freedom,

Possess integrity.

You’ll improve your life,

And, its quality.

 

For, you’re unique,

Different from the rest.

Walk away from guilt.

Take life on with zest.

 

Cheer yourself on.

Pat yourself on the back.

Pretty soon you’ll be,

Right back on track.

    A neat, well honed piece, the lack of wordiness really something I can go for!
    The promise in the last three stanzas i will keep in my back pocket.
    Thanks for the call.
