Get The Monkey Off Your Back Poem by Bernard F. Asuncion

Get The Monkey Off Your Back

Rating: 5.0


Get the monkey off your back,
But be kind to an ape;
Though it takes the lice away,
It might bite your nape.

In the night the tormentor
Turns into worst nightmare;
Instead of dreaming of success,
You feel like in the lion's lair.

The wounds are created
By the hassle haunting you;
Let losses turn into gains,
And take you out of the blue.

Let successive failures
Become a shining victory;
Let triumph be like the waves
That come rolling across the sea.

Let your broken heart heal,
Let your faith fill its crack;
Never be afraid of obstacle,
Get the monkey off your back.

Get the monkey off your back, But be kind to an ape; Though it takes the lice away, It might bite your nape. A fantastic poem, sir Bernard.

At various times, I have had a monkey on my back and I could not get it off my bank for years. I likewise hope that 'Let successive failures/ Become a shining failure'. So uplifting.
