...in my boxers...

I struggle to keep my eyes open,
my senses have softened,
my mind in a haze,
as I fight through the murky maze.
Everything’s before me,
my chariot awaits me.
I can set the wheels in motion,
or let all fall into commotion.
The battles await,
but first things must wait:
I go before a waterfall of wisdom,
I quench my thirst.
Eyes ahead,
senses now alert.
Set one foot forward-
another day has begun.

Not bad. I liked this a lot. The only suggestion is to maybe rhyme something else with "await"..."wait" seems a bit redundant. Also the rhyming scheme is inconsitant at the end, like it drops off. if you meant that, then no worries, I just figured I'd point it out. But other than that, nice one!

This was really good.  It's so important to remember to continue trudging ahead, no matter how difficult it may sometimes be.

I really like this poem a lot. The message, the way in which you expressed yourself... all of it... superb.

I wish I could give you more, but right now I can't. I'll later explain...

Love,
Your Memina

Thank you Noah, for your interest in my work and your compliments! This poem is indeed my anthem... thank you for reminding me of it!

Memina, thank you. I'll talk to you tonight.
