Stay In Focus

by Michael Charles Messineo — Read all 96 poems by Michael Charles Messineo

Your family, friends and work... are filled with doubters, distracters, and people who simply can’t see your vision. They tend to circle around you and distract your campaign. Don’t let them change your drive toward what you believe is right. Focus, march onward and rely on your strengths. The picture above is exactly like your life. Wherever you sharpen your focus, the distractions seem to stop. Try it!!!

Saturday, October 6, 2007


Poem Artwork

Stay in focus on your goal, don’t let the outside win.

If your center tends to move, your focus surely spins.

One look back can’t change the past, but lets you twist the now.

March past doubters who are wrong, and show them closely how.


Interruptions come and go, distractions are the norm.

Stop and regroup, bend the course, create your special storm.

All around you moving slow, the influence looks real.

Marching forward, stay ahead, just break the rules, you'll heal.

Hello Michael,

I like this poem as it almost tells a lot about me, "Marching forward
stay ahead just break the rules and heal." Sheer tenacity.
You write artistically yet rationally.

Very well said my friend and so true. In this high tech, high speed world it is often hard to find the solitude to slow down and let our minds and hearts go where they must to find the artistic integrity we need. Great capture.

Oh! This is just so good. Staying focused can sometimes become very difficult, but never give in to weakness. Whatever your dreams may be, they are your dreams to develop and nurture until you are satisfied... Enjoyed this one...

Be safe,
Karen
