Be the Best I Can Be
There is an urge in me that must be satisfied4 total reviews
Comment from Liz O'Neill
I was apologetic for being a better athlete than others. So I would back off. I have since balanced my goals. I have always done my best to be my best in life. I've also spent my whole series of careers in helping others to be their best. I wrote my book Be Wee With Bea to hopefully encourage many readers to believe in themselves. Your poem is very inspiring. The reader is invited to reflect on this topic in their lives. You may have awakened some people with this poem. Well written.

Go out in a blaze of glory - that's the way to do it, still striving for achievement. I admire your competitive spirit and wish you every success.
A competitive urge helps keep us mentally and physically alert.

I enjoyed reading this free verse about enjoying competition. That's great when competition is used in a good way to do your best but not be consumed with comparing yourself to someone else. Thanks for sharing! Bill
