I Can Do Anything, I Want To Do. Poem by Mahfooz Ali

Time?

Where has it gone?
Where will it go?
Where will it take me?
I want to know!
Life?

Life is strange with its ups and downs.
A collection of memories placed around.
Always pressing forward,
fight a never ending battle,
of obstacles that are placed before.
New opportunities every day.
Am I going to let fear stand in my way?

Or,

will I stand boldly meet each challenge as it comes.
From the day to day struggle until my life is done.
Some say I can't stand the rat race, .
Then, instead of winning they simple chose to quit.
Am I going to be a topsy - turvy?
Or, will I handle my life like a man.
No bump on a log.
For that was never meant to be.
I be strong.
I be proud.
I Stand tall and say,
'I did my very best today'.
It's easy to change.
It's not very hard.
Set my mind to it.
Don't lower my guard.
But,
I know it's all up to me.
I can do anything,
I want to do.
