Alright 562citylife.com - I've been wanting to share some of my previous writing work before, but didn't have the right forum, or the right mindset. It's rare for me to share my pieces, just cause i fear the criticism, but being that this is a very artistic site, let me know what you guys think. If you guys like it I will post more up, if not... lol...well... then... i will just hide in shame under my bed!

Self-Worth

For every forward step I take,
I take 3 to the side

Am I still on the right path?
If I'm moving ahead,
but moving away,
What's the point to aim high?

Re-focus is the word of the day
1....2....3....stay on track.
Do I continue or do I simply hit reset

If I look at the past how many days will have gone by
Nine Thousand - Three Hundred and Ninety Six is the magic number
and what's of my life!?
Friends I have, Businesses I own, family is there,
what more can I need?

If the goal is happiness,
and happiness comes with a price,
Who's to say what i'm worth?

If self-worth had a number,
what number would I be?
The number of friends I know?
The number of days I have to show?
The number of possessions I've come to own?
Or the number of Life's that I've helped grow?

Label me poor
and humbly I will admit

Label me rich
and proudly i'll show

Label me at all
and watch me prove you wrong;
another statistic is what I refuse to be!


Live a day and tell a story
Touch a life and live forever!
