The Self-Made Man Poem by david lessard

The Self-Made Man



You do not need a map,
to tell your critics where to go,
You do not need a guide,
to tell you where the river flows;
All you need is confidence
and greater self-esteem,
You don't need a whopping army,
or any other team.

You've a mind of your own,
and it has power -
Your an individual with choice,
a mighty tower -
You've done damn well so far,
and you'll be more tomorrow -
You've conquered all your fears,
you've nothing more to borrow.

And you can face the music,
'cause you have grasped the ring,
And there isn't any obstacles,
against you, they can bring;
Your a self-made man my friend,
and there is nothing higher,
You haven't sold your precious soul,
as there isn't any buyer.

I applaud you, you've done great,
I give you your just due,
Your the pinnacle of success,
the prize is there, just for you.
I wish you wealth and happiness,
you've nothing more to gain,
Now sit back and enjoy it,
you've yourself to entertain.
