This Mysterious Thing

by Shirley Woods — Read all 13 poems by Shirley Woods

Sometimes the "Self" ask certain Questions like, Am I Special? Am I a Failure? This Thing is in all of us. Guess What it is?

Thursday, September 17, 2009

What is this mysterious thing? You can't touch it, but it affects how you feel. You can't see it, but it's there when you look at yourself in the mirror. You can't hear it, but it's there every time you talk to yourself. It affects how you think, act and relate to other people. This thing is a breathing and living organism inside of you. It  is a quiet knowing that you are priceless. You cannot go and purchase it. What is this mysterious thing?This thing affects your potential to be successful. It's the Who Am I? The What Do I Want To Be? and The How will I serve others to make a difference. This Thing is SELF-ESTEEM! It's in all of us.

My passion
do I live by my passion?
do I work in my passion?
but what are my my passion?
a time?
a place?
a person?
I don't think my father could tell me nor my mother
If could communicate with grandfather I could catch just half of my passion.
