Proud boast.

Sonnet

 

 

Proud boast.

 

I was abandoned as a child

 and even more so in my youth

 My life style was so weird and wild.

Because I could not find the truth.

Until at last I recognised.

What I became was up to me.

To my relief I realised

I did not need a pedigree.

That I could succeed on my own

Achieve my dreams successfully.

My origin remains unknown

 and must remain a mystery.

I proudly boast because I can

claim to be a self made man.

I love the write here, but we as humans cannot resist a mystery-- you'll search again-- self made or not LOL good share my friend

The "Pedigree" seemed weird there. But no other buffs. Loved it. :)

i can relate to this as someone that felt this way at one time because my roots were never planted. Since my basic foundation did not offer a firm grip; I was able to run wild in a way with the excuse of abandonment; thankfully and luckily; I saw the seed and rooted my ground, mind and body to become a self made person without feeling or feeding the void.

Yes we are what we make of ourselves. Well penned.
