Winner of the 2012 Shipt of Fools Poetry Contest

Yes! - Ian Brennan

I say good bye to the past and pick up my present,
It’s a gift that was given by then and is now,
Life should not stop and wait for the past to catch up,
Forward is my only direction as I toss my weakness aside.

Make my own, make myself as I want,
I don't need to control future I just need to,
Live in my own reality,
Drop the money drop the fame, drop success,
And pursue the thing that most matters,
Because the only thing holding me back is myself

Why can't I sit and smile in my own peaceful asylum,
I as I search for my own true goal,
What am I really here to do,
Silently spinning in my own world I am comfortably confused,
And I love every second of it. 

Only one want, to understand what i long for,
I don't need to know what it is,  or how to get it,
As long as I know it's there for me,
Happy is what I'll be.
