Think Upwards And Forwards Not Backwards And Below

Shaunmatthewcpoetry

There is only two ways in which we should move
Adjust your longitude and latitude
Have the correct attitude
Be polite instead of rude
Upwards and forwards
Not backwards and below
I'm still trying to grow
Torment my own mind daily
I am my own penalty
Burn the candle
Increase heat with each degree
Wear my heart on my sleeve
All we gotta do is believe

    Yes, similarly in a farewell sermon, a Vicar said: 'Onwards and upwards, not backwards and downwards'.
    About 25 years go now it was.

      Oh really, that is interesting.

      • orchidee

        Yes - and more, sadly. He got injured, age 23, and had to have a leg off 45 years later. Oh dear!

        • Shaunmatthewcpoetry

          Oh no, that isn't good.

        • L. B. Mek

          live like we reach-out to bring light
          to our dark rooms, flick that switch
          in our minds
          aim forward, envisage that relief
          hidden beyond those twists and dark clouds
          and when we can, offer
          a flashlight, to help light another's path
          and on...
          one humane choice after another
          we each prevail
          by empowering each other!
          love the positivity dear poet

          How I wish I could change the narrative and stop tormenting my own heart and just live life
