Shane Michael Close: Illuminating Paths with Positivity

Where to Begin?

Losing Is the Way to Win

If I won

I would pay it forward

I would not worry

I could share it

I could learn what the feeling of not living check to check is

What is this feeling?

Sensation?

How could I share it with others

I don’t want to feel negative

when I hold my family / children

and keep thinking or stressing

about how I have so much work

to do away from them.

So much sacrifice for no gain

I would stop working for others

who are undeserving,

work for myself,

spend time improving, being creative,

create a positive environment for all

around to grow:

Losing is the

way to win.

I Am Nothing

I would live

my struggle would change

from how to who

can I help?

How do we teach the feeling of helping

the feeling of helping is

similar to being helped

I want to feel helpful

always for ever

why sell fish

when I can be selfish

and give them away

I join because I believe

I stay because I am committed

I leave because I am disillusioned

I come back because I am lost

without a vision I perish

without a dream I am nothing

The End

Where to begin?

The beginning has no end

it is the beginning

that is because the beginning cannot be

without an end to say

if not for the end

you could not begin

however

in the end

is where, right where

you find out

you can

begin

all over again,

the end.
