Take Hold (poem)

Don't get trapped within, without you
Or feel unimportant.
Finally old times meet the new:
Why ever say "I can't"?

Both affectionate and steady,
With a frame quick and lean:
One can consider themselves ready
To set out for their queen.

Yet remain true to yourself, for
It would be a mistake
To the rest of the world ignore.
Stay true for your own sake.

There's no need for it to be all;
Stay committed to dreams.
Don't let your head or your chin fall:
No need to shed tears's streams.

If the sky seems heavy, o'ercast,
Then leave it be for then
Ponder on all else, till it's past --
Then -- take hold of the pen.
