Array ( [sid] => 181706 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => 25% [time] => 2015-09-02 20:10:27 [hometext] => [bodytext] => A quarter is what they look for,
they can’t get the full picture,
that amount is for the poor,
they didn’t listen to the lecture.
Do you like being the one out of four,
that tries but never got it all,
climbed but ended with a fall,
stands up but not too tall,
afraid to hear that LOL.

You can’t reach the ceiling if you crawl,
can’t reach the sky if you’re below,
you can’t be high if you’re low.

Get up if you want more,
stop looking at the mirror,
move your eyes from the floor,
get your feet nearer and nearer,
use force to open that door,
smash the layer and get to the core,
be number one not four,
don’t want to be poor?
Rip the paper that was written before,
remember who you are,
have no doubt in your skill,
hone it, build the bridge,
cross it, not with fingers crossed, hoping for the best,
try so hard so that you can no longer sweat,
what is there to fret?
Get 100% of life, not 25%. [comments] => 4 [counter] => 149 [topic] => 43 [informant] => AmiasDavies [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Your words come at a time when I need to hear them. This makes going after my dreams even more important. Thanks for the reminder.

Makes me want to stand up and cheer!
Love the title too…
You are so right. We don't get what we don't bother to earn.
(and if we do, we don't value it!)
Humans are an odd breed; thinking we need so much and deserve to have it all as well!
Such is adolescence.
Well said!

interestingly statistically speaking focus
can't really be measured by a test or an outcome
just consider what you want and why
and don't quit learning
and yeah maybe you might get confused
heck you likely will

stay honest if you can, I say.

you have a good voice, so push it to the max
definitely yes.

Peace!

absolutely beautiful, reminds me of what needs to be done :)

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
