This is an excerpt from one of my original poems. I do not give permission to reprint or reuse.

You are the master of your destiny
The owner of the key that unlocks your future
You have the power to choose
Or the option to stand by
It is here by demanded that you become an active participant
In this thing
Called
Life
Step up to the plate
Take a swing
Even if you don’t get a home run
You are already on the team
