YOU PUT YOURSELF OUT

You love the stories 
That you are the victim
And you know the truth
It is not a sitcom, but
The victim is you
By your own extremes 
You thought you were faultless
But only in your dreams
The truth laid before you
Open to everyone and
You held your thoughts
A lack of toughness it seems
Now you face reality
It sort of pushes you over board
You pull in your wings
As to an over lord
He gives you direction
How to live your life
In a way that is fruitful
Causes no one any strife
You pause and look it over
Realize that it makes sense
I am no victim you say
I am the beginning of enterprise
So you begin to get involved
This is the way it should be
Before long you are the leader
Things change to your surprise
You sense a feeling of leadership
Show other people your way
Of course this causes the others
To be in a state of dismay
But truth is truth and fiction is fiction
Your reflections make sense
It is just a matter of diction
You climb upon your pedestal 
Preach the teachings of life
The cowards shriek and run
Believers don’t roll the dice
They know the meaning of life
The tragedy if it is lost
They keep on trudging forward
With no interest of the cost
