Do do

2781

Should I do the things I don't do?

The things I do are hard to sell, 

What I do I try to do well. 

Many things stay on the shelf, 

So I wonder if I am kidding myself. 

On I go into the great unknown, 

Seeking a kingdom to sit by the throne...

One day at a time, 

Not much thought of tomorrow, 

Tomorrow will come.

And I can't please everyone. 

There's a purpose for everything under the sun...

But the road seems long and there's much to be done. 

The things I don't do might leave me on the nose, 

But the things I do do are not for show, and I hope, come what may, the things I have done will finally pay.

Not that my work is without reward!

But that's another chapter  

I'll save you , (if not to late!)

From getting bored.

  • L. B. Mek

    truth inked sincere is never boring
    questing for our true voice
    a meaningful way to utilise our art
    unapologetic, that who we are
    is whoever we will go-on to become
    so indeed, invest your ink
    ask and battle with those muddy
    waters, in your heart
    be not be ruled by fear of your potential
    instead, seek that crossroad
    designed to test your resolve, then
    learn from your choices..
    'know thy self: to be worthy'
    (i read and learn wise poet)
    thank you!
