Power

I'm fairly certain I know what I want.
I'm usually that way: I simply know,
And nothing anyone can say will daunt
That inner, self-determined, solid glow.
So many people wander aimlessly
As though the life they led had not direction;
I cannot countenance such apathy,
And if I did, there'd be an insurrection
Within my soul, against such disrespect.
For when my being totally insists
Upon a course, and as such I erect
So much on it, my self-respect consists
Of following that plan - and so I do.
I know my wishes, and I act them too.
