How to be serene? Polonius to Laertes - Shakespeare's Hamlet, Act 1, Scene 3
This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Farewell, my blessing season this in thee!
The philosophical Brittni! Well done! Very thought provoking! Five stars!
Brittni, this is a most thoughtful poem. A traditional rhyme scheme and a great message. I hope to see more of this kind from you.
Happiness to me is family and friends. 5 Stars for this posting. Shows that you are talented in many literary forms. Love you, Britt.
While reading through this I felt I could relate to a lot of what you've written. Beautiful poem, you succeed in everything you do.
Admirable sentiments from a highly talented — and wide-ranging — writer. Bravo Brittni!
Really moving and thought-provoking poem, Brittni. Excellent rhymes and an important, poignant message. It truly made me think, even contemplate my decisions and life goals. I especially liked these lyrics: "Maybe it’s the game and winning pumps you up,
Championships are the ultimate filler of your competitive cup.
Losing does spurn much sorrow and anger is let in,
And makes you hate the losing, more than you love the win."
And
"As you move forward and the years so quickly fly,
Doing good unto others should give the desired high.
Think you now and put an end to the evil happiness moocher,
Never allow your past or drug, to control your wanted future."
Keep up the great work. You are very talented.
You show a depth of understanding of the world well beyond your age. It’s well structured and even more importantly it’s a beautiful window into your soul. Kisses, babe.
This is so deep and full of mature observation of reality. OMG! Love it Brittni!
Kisses,
