Dr John Celes - Self-motivation

Oh, tell me what to do;
I am in dire straits;
I trust no man on earth;
I don’t know what to do!

My problems are galore;
Time does not favor me;
I have to face what comes;
I am afraid, I’ll fail!

I can’t escape this time?
The odds are against me;
I’m strong but weak again;
Can I set things aright?

Yet, I’ve been quite lucky;
God helped me many times;
I’ve seen worse off problems;
I hope I’ll overcome.

So, let me try again;
I cannot lose my heart;
Courage is my answer;
I’ll face whatever comes.

Failure is part of life;
Success can’t always come;
Hopelessness shouldn’t fill mind;
I’ll pull my strings again!

Whatever comes, I’ll take;
I can’t brood, fume or fret;
Let things happen somehow;
Defeat shall not be mine!
