Bim Bam Boom
there's a judgemental
in this here room
Wait a minute
there's a stone thrower
also in it
Back up a bit
there's an azzhole that
don't give a chit
Then again mature
women and men
you could be in the den

True courage is facing
our fears
and the brain between
our ears
Going on and achieving
when we aren't
really believing
and whatever seems
kind of decieving

There maybe many
reasons why not
and less reasons
to go on and take the shot
The worst comes when
things really get hot
It will take guts to
do and ignore not

The worst idiot can be
right in our own head
Every night sleeping
with us in our own bed
Telling us we can't instead

The harshest critic is me. =] Excellently penned reminder to keep on keeping on! Well done, One.

True courage is facing our fears. We hang on to the crap because it is familiar crap. That first step can be a whopper for many folks. What is it they say...if you keep following the lead dog, the view never changes.
