'' Hold Your Head High With Pride '' Poem by Bri Mar

When you look in that mirror,
What is it you see?
A peacemaker or a stirrer,
Do you long to be free?

That reflection is trapped,
Until you walk away,
Your future is mapped,
By what you do and say.

Which road you take,
Only you can choose,
By hiding a mistake,
Will you win or lose.

Only you and you alone,
Can make that decision,
You’ll set the tone,
Do it with precision.

Actions cause reactions,
That you mustn’t forget,
It can cause distractions,
Which will cause regret.

Give assistance to others,
It doesn’t cost,
Ignorance just smothers,
An opportunity is lost.

If you ever fall down,
Get back on your feet,
Or in wallowing you’ll drown,
From yourself don’t retreat.

In if only don’t tread,
It doesn’t exist,
Keep a clear head,
From self-pity desist.

Seek help when required,
In that there’s no shame,
Humility is to be admired,
You must never defame.

Choose friends with care,
Keep them for life,
Forever be aware,
Enemies cause strife.

Your family are gold,
Give love from the heart,
Don’t break that mould,
Or it could fall apart.

Who is in that reflection?
Only you can decide,
If it passes inspection,
