E-Rated Poemier-Driven

Rating: 4.5


stern tests dare me
strange mess try me
i have to pass them all
to deliver a message
to say a testimony

without shoes i run
without hat i got ideas
am fat with principles
even though i faint
in the trials of moments
i get up strong

am like a man
likened to the strongest pillar
am likened to the wisest

am driven beyond
i don't know where am headed for
but am steering my wheels
running on my heels
am driven to somewhere
where i cannot say
where i don't know

am driven by him
who is driving me
my true source
in which i hold my breath
i know when i fail
i only try and bounce back
never lamenting to the ground
i am driven

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Setbacks and difficulties are stimulants to success, and where the goings get tough, highly driven people with faith keep going. Heat shatters glass but forces steel. Good piece of poetry, well articulated and nicely penned in poetic diction with conviction. An insightful depiction of motivation and the power of positive thinking. Faith keeps those that keep the faith - Mother Teresa. Thanks for sharing Elvis. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
