Renda Writer - Brand New Poem by Renda Writer

Brand new
Brand spankin’ new
Dealt a new hand
Feelin’ like a brand new man

On the top of a hill
Overlookin’
Lookin’ over the old land
That I once ran from

But now I stand as one
Stand up, stand tall, stand still, stand above
I’m this close
To understandin’ love

Fizzle or sizzle
Regret or forget
Persist or resist
This is the best feeling yet

Clarity

It becomes clear as it gets near
No longer critical
Strong stride
Arrive at the pinnacle – the peak

I’ve been given a little bit of a peak
At the future
And now the incline
Doesn’t seem that steep

Close enough to see
Its texture
Tough texture
Texture tough

I put a solid scuff
On the smooth surface of fear
What must I do?
I must persevere

Claim what’s mine
Two steps at a time
One step away
Even one successful day can push the stress away

It’s a plan that’s well executed
A fact that’s never refuted
Whatever’s clever, I’m forever rooted

In a good mood
Now how did I do it?

Well,
I learned that life is a lesson
A collection of lessons to learn from
The first lesson that I learned
Is that learning is never done
And this is a permanent one

It feels like I’m on the brink of some big
Something huge
Gigantic, romantic, planted in fertile soil
Something too big to wrap my arms around
I think I finally found oil

Loyal to change
Life is more than a game
“Life’s a bitch”
Well some people say this
But life is what you make it
So face it, embrace it, and make the positive switch

I realized this
And I thought of this poem
A brand new poem

But foolish of me to think
That even ink
Could properly convey
What I say and I think

So I never even wrote this poem down

No longer down
No longer broken down
No longer in the background

Feeling used used to be true
Feeling abused used to be true

I used to feel used
But now I feel brand new

I said I used to feel used
But now I feel brand new
