Enter The Poet - Imagining D. Thomas

Do Not Go Into Life Abashedly

Do not go into life abashedly
This is a road we travel but one time
Through this pained trail filled with absurdity

Honor life, pursue it passionately
Play no games, this mountain is worth the climb
Do not go into life abashedly

Your success can't be achieved passively
Raise your voice, don't fail to embrace your chime
Through this pained trail filled with absurdity

Live with Honor; do it fanatically
Live life with pride, make validity prime
Do not go into life abashedly

Seek your goals fully and passionately
Cleanse yourself of fault, just as you purge grime
Through this pained trail filled with absurdity

Failure is poison, avoid it drastically
Pacify it and life will be sublime
Do not go into life abashedly
Through this pained trail filled with absurdity
