10-to-1 you don't make it,
You haven't a chance,
Don't even bother,
You'll never advance.

You can't do that,
You don't have a clue,
Forget about it,
It's not worth it to you.

Hearing these put-downs,
May dampen your dreams,
Formulate the difference,
Between what's real and what seams.

2000

note: and yes i meant to put 'seams'

slaves 'oft love their masters.

defeat...failure...hard words

I guess we're only lost if we never try...and never try if we are hearing those negative comments all the time

sadly most times we are telling ourselves things such as this

there is much to be said for the power of positive thinking!
