Array ( [sid] => 83516 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Determination [time] => 2005-02-08 16:32:29 [hometext] => Determination is key to getting anywhere in life. It makes or breaks you. Don't speak empty words, but rather put those same words into action. [bodytext] => I’ll stand up for the worthy cause.
I’ll bear the cross upon my shoulders.
Put an end to hateful laws,
Because this world cant get much colder.

I’m not like the rest of you.
I don’t hide my face in the darkness.
I’ll do what I always knew
Would lead us to happiness.

Don’t follow someone’s word,
Let yourself be heard.
Fulfill your own desires.
Don’t follow someone’s lead,
You know what you need.
Inner strength is what inspires

I’ll protect the sick and helpless.
The faintest cry I wont ignore.
Life’s too short to be too cautious,
So I’d do these things and more.

I promise to the world,
I’ll do these things I say.
I’ll promise to the world,
But let someone else lead the way…

Isn't this the truth. Now, more than ever, I think, determination is needed, to get out of the apathetic prison so many have locked themselves in, and fulfill Life, and Destiny. Well done, this poem, and beautiful, the message it conveys.

Walk in the Light.
