No More Excuses Poem by Sinclair Azubuike Farrell

One day I will make no further excuses
I will rise from the ashes of defeat
To stand on my feet
At a particular hour
Make that decision to say no more
That same minute
I will accept responsibility for my failures & flaws
And not dither for a second longer

I will do the necessary internal work
Which, needs to be done
Standing firm with conviction
In justification of my existence
To make monumental strides
In life

For there's a reason
I'm alive
To learn, love, laugh & live
And even forgive

No matter how hard it gets
When that time comes
To not blame anybody else
For my own shortcomings
Where I have failed
I will not make any excuses anymore
For that hour, minute & second
Is now
What are you waiting for?
