My Message to Me

Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)

Rhymed
Don't hesitate; please renovate
The way you feel today.
Anxiety will always be
A cause of joy delayed.

You have to fight into the night
Until you fall asleep.
It is a war; there will be more
Because its strength is deep.

So, stay the course with all the force
That you possess within.
Don't ever quit or think of it.
Your time has come to win.
