IT'S UP TO ME
by JAMES J Met

I get discouraged now and then
When there are clouds of gray
Until I think about the things
That happened yesterday

I do not mean the day before
Or those of months ago
But all the yesterdays in which
I had the chance to grow

I think of opportunities
That I allowed to die
And those I took advantage of
Before they passed me by

And I remember that the past
Presented quite a plights
But somehow I endured it and
The future seemed all right

And I remind myself that I
Am capable and free
And my success and happiness
Are really up to me
