Watch Me



[font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Written by Fatal Dawn ©





This is the story of a man who is wealthy and blessed

Currently has a new market he’s about to invest



Life wasn’t always this way.



Before it was grotesque and stressed

But as a young teen, he found his path to success

See, this boy was a failure who dropped out of school

It was later he would realize that the world is cruel

Then his parents found out and gave him the oust

Left with no money, no education, and no house

He wandered the streets, homeless and living under bridges

Eating from scraps and resting in ditches



His life was in peril - enduring daily beatings,

Until one man heard his fretful pleadings

The man taught the young boy the values of education

It took the death of the man for the boy to show appreciation

He went back to high school and graduated at twenty

Went to college and earned plenty

The boy who rested in ditches and lived under bridges

Has gone from dirty old rags to clean riches

That homeless boy is now a chief executive

But honoring his hero is his brief objective

The man who inspired him and heard his plea

The world told him he couldn’t, but the boy said

“Watch Me”



And this one

A sad scene, an old man dying

But why is he smiling?



About three years ago this man received grim information

It shocked his whole family and normality went in disintegration



Tumors were found and they were all malignant

He was scared and tried to find ways to make the pain distant

He started exercising and added his grandkids for motivation

But the doctor was cynical; he said, “Know your limitation”

But the man did not care; he cycled and even attended a marathon

He became a public interest, known as the man with no limits

Went on to build a charity using these warming gimmicks

But the sky turned black, iron man had collapsed on the stairs

As he lay in a coma, he smiled and told his peers:





I will die a happy man, because I have conquered my fears

The doctor had given me just days, but I saw years

Therefore, I may die, but I refuse to perish

I left my own legacy for all to cherish



You should never accept what the world has to offer

Go beyond that



A man's only prison is his state of mind

Ask for strength and you shall receive it

Believe and you shall be rewarded for your faith

And with these last words, I accept this fate of mine



Whatever they tell you, do not agree

Dare to try the impossible and say,

“Just watch me”

If for people life is hard enough - they don't need me reiterate that. It's better to have hope and purpose.
