Doubting

I'm not sure if I'm doubting myself, or I'm just doubting my possibility
I don't know if I'm living my life or just living what fate has given to me
There's chances to advance in so many directions
But I'll often just go with the flow of my current convection

And I'm sorry, Me, but I'm not done believing in you just yet
We may be gambling with energy and time but I'm still taking the bet
Leave the treadmill and instead fill your map with paths into the unknown
It's fine to whine and understandable if you plan to moan

Just, move forward while you do it.
Do whatever you need to pursue it.
Dragged feet are not stationary
Looking up a little bit still counts as visionary
Embrace the moment but don't stay there forever
Because storms are coming you're gonna need to weather:

Age. Injury. Grief. Disease. Time. 
So don't sit and wait for your optimum prime.
It may never come. All you might have is right now.
A sense of who you want to be and a chance to figure out how.

Seize your opportunity using whichever cliché will get you on your feet
And stop doubting a life you'll never get to repeat

Writing differently

Put simply, I can pen a pretty poem
Give a little guidance on where you want it going
So I can see it sail to the harbour you desire
Finish with a flourish and set the theme on fire

But I started out so simple, writing in one way
I've been exploring ever more and delving every day
And now I know I need to neatly make a choice
To completely capture a calling, I have to pick a voice

I have learned, with time, my tendencies and traps
So I can construct a concept that my craft will not collapse
Not be guided by my ego but gives purpose to immerse
The inkling of individuality to each and every verse

Just an opinion

"It's just an opinion",
I hear in defence
"It's just want they think,
why take such offence?"

Well, you see,
Our opinions kind of form who we are
How we treat others
Which roads we walk, and how far

Where we spend time
Which causes we choose support
Where we compromise
Which battles are worth being fought

Our opinions guide how we vote
How we spent the money that we earn
Whether we take court cases
Whether there are people we should spurn

Opinions do an awful lot
And they can tend to build traction
I think many people have forgot
How ideas can lead to action
