I Will Get Up! Poem by Kudakwashe Roak Mutama
I Will Get Up!
Those who have it all figured out
Who appear to have everything in place
Who are blind but they don’t know it
Those who put on a smile to keep up appearances
Those who laugh about other people’s failures
Who make other people feel inferior
But what have they achieved to think they are superior?
They are scared of taking any risk
Yet they advice people on what they call the “missing link”
Why can’t they use this “missing link” to their advantage?
They always portray a wrong image
As a way of deceiving people that they have everything
I would rather walk with nothing knowing I’m doing something
It does not matter whether I succeed or fail
Because real character is tested when we fall
So laugh all you want, but I’ll not hide
Because what matters to me is the fact that I tried
But the fact that I have failed before
Does not mean that I’m not good anymore
I might be down but I’m not out
Because I’m going to fight until I get it right
Don’t judge me by my past failures
Instead you should come to me for advice
Because through my failures I have learned many lessons
And one day I am going to get to the top
So don’t be fooled, I’m not going to stop
Even if I fall, I will get up!
From the guttermost to the uttermost! God loves to use people who have been there, done that. I call them, qualified by experience! I will get up....an overcomer! Insightful, encouraging poem.; D
Wow, so forceful and expressive! You sound very dedicated to your work! And you are right, the people that accomplish things are those that revel in their failures! Like they always said you never learn unless you try! Very well done! ....Marina Gasbey....

Because what matters to me is the fact that I tried Yes, very manly utterance. Spirit is high so if I fall I will get up. It perhaps the fertilizer to cultivate the positivism in the mind-ground which is an essential component to live as a man. Appreciate your attitude towards life. Yes, attitude is the right word to get ones identity. Bravo. Live as a man and run long to attain the goal, to achieve your mission. Your poem has an universal approach and some basic questions are explained tactfully. Thank you very much. Write more........ Regards, 10+ pranab
