Natasha’s Chronicles

One of the most effective ways of expressing oneself is through poetry. Inspired by the observation that unless we make a solid decision to succeed, we simply cannot: This is for you. MY CONQUERING FLAMECease the moment And smile;Never forgettingAt least to tryYou may wonder why the tide is high, But please,Now is not the time. Yesterday had its pace,Today has a load of grace,Tomorrow is part of the raceSo please,Let your heart find rest. It should be sometimes darkBut your faith, it sets the markThe feeling may bite like a sharkOr may charge at youLike a dog and its barkBut choose to stand with desireEven through mud and mire Your conquering flame,It begins with a spark. In this hour, as I prepare for the gloomLike a flower, I’ve got to bloom!I’ve got the power; I shouldn’t say I’m doomedNo, no thank you, today I must choose.Say what you may, I’ve got nothing to loseLove, peace, hope, they’re my diamond showerThough weak and feeble, I’ve got the stomach of a kingPersistent and proud, I’ll spread my eagle’s wingPeaceful and passionate, my song I’ll singMeek yet majestic, I’ll battle till I winYes. Today, I choose not to lose! Ends
