When a woman is unsure, but has some of the answers.
What I don’t know for certain Ill-fated thinking has gotten me here Or is it well planned, thoughtful thinking I always think I have a plan But time continues to arrest these feeble robust plans Linking my fortitude with my fears I know that I never know just what to do Sans ever elusive success The outcomes are what they are And I know them, intimately Sadly not very well I have grand schemes flowing thru like Niagara They’re juicy, fat, plump, and meaty They entail being a Savior, Rainmaker, Innovator Educator, Politico, Author, Journalist, Lover, Muse Its solution oriented, focused, driven, firm and full Yet my might gradually dusts off And fear, delusional weary, panic, confusion Footsteps enter my sparrow of vision I have a vision I have unnerving steps I have nothing Nothing sets the pace of my life I despise knowing this but know I need to know this

This poem is rather confessional on my part. I have led a crazy path to what I should be doing professionally. I am a multi-passionate person that used to struggle so much with nailing down what to devote 100% of my energy to.

I wrote this poem well over a year ago, and now I am more rooted and convicted on what to do professionally (being a writer) and do not second-guess myself as much. I finally feel that I have more answers than questions.

Words juxtaposed in new ways always intrigue and suggest an underlying talent. Welcome aboard, CJ. Well done.

Full of feeling, your poem seems to express that in spite of positive thoughts, negative thoughts always seem to slow you down. By merely writing these thoughts down you are overcoming your fear and will find your, �elusive success,� in time.
