Facet the future, lock down your own destiny.
Dig deep within yourself and pull out your own little fragments of freedom.
For freedom only comes from within your own soul.
Reach out and extend, with a open heart and hand,
That freedom- that love.
Help others see the errors of their ways.
Their hateful words of vice overtaking their lives.
Without kindness to another soul,
You will come to be whole.
Take the sorrow, take the grief-
Turn it into joy and reprieve.
Keep that arm outstretched.
Keep your heart extended.
True joy comes from selflessness,
Not selfishness.
Not personal gain.
Some pray, in vain, for grand riches and fame.
Be careful what you pray for.
These things may come to you at your own expense.
Youâll lose your soul along the way.
This is really great Shlay, but I have one request, and that is, to re-post it without the "what do you think"? part....I just don't want people to start posting pre-written stuff, just to elicit responses....that would be better put on one of the community boards...I want this to stay focused on writings "in the moment'....and allow those who want, to respond as they want to. Please change ASAP, so I can remove the original one, so others don't start doing the same thing. thanks!! (nice writing, though!!)
