Sunshine’s Intense

“Sparing - moderating, modulating;

I’m a human - prone to erring;

Errors keep me postulating;

Rather than ruminating, startling, scaring

- I started caring, staring at the notebook -

grading, annotating;

Plumbed the substrate: It conveyed that I’m amazing: Stating such is so breathtaking;

Too long I took myself for something aggravating;

I eyeballed the net, the mesh - the mess I made;

The traps I planted had demanded that I suffocated

- Extricated them, self-nurtured - had resuscitated

- Lungs fill with optimistic grades of color;

Respire, inquire, inspire - fire hydrant cover burst

- the worst drowned out - it’s over

- Four-leaf clover -

Graduate, diploma:

Aimless rover to a shameless overcomer -

Directionality corrected;

Personality assessed - impressed -

The actuality is blessed:

Glad I know I don’t have to regress:

Up the ladder’s rungs, I’ll keep on climbing steps

- Sunshine’s intense.”
