If you want it, go and get it, come hell or high water,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ll walk through fire for it, fight for it and whatever,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heard it all before, motivational talk spewed to and fro,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Coming in handy for missions of all sorts, for crusades or when shooting for impossible goals,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They say only the persistent are rewarded, quitters never win,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But how much must one take before they\u2019re permitted to pack it in?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They are lionized and admired, those who defy the odds,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But what of they who walk away, minds changed then switching lanes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do they get props for changing course or are they quitters only deserving scorn?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sure, hard work pays off, the spoils go to those that work their asses off,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But what if you get more than you bargained for? Found out it wasn\u2019t worth the struggle? Prompting a change in course to a destination less glamorous?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No telling what\u2019s on the other side, gut instincts could save your life,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Perhaps backing out is warranted, but when is the proper time for it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Half full, half empty, is the sun shining or darkness halted?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Given the state of the world today, you wonder how one can act like all\u2019s ok?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gotta keep it real and see it all for how it is, unlike those grinning ear to ear living in dreams,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But why keep your eyes trained to the grey and gloom? On a constant lookout for impending doom?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To the common eye seems a waste of time, living scared than in the prime of life,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They say they who peer through the proverbial shades tinted rose-colored to match their cheery disposition have a higher chance of getting more out of life, of smashing goals left and right,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leave a lasting legacy that traverses through time, leave their counterparts floundering, unfulfilled, screaming into the night,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But that\u2019s a myth, they, too, can build kingdoms, all while travelling unfiltered,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Understanding it ain\u2019t all sunshine and rainbows and acknowledging the darkness, embracing what is than trying to paint it a different color,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doesn\u2019t make them the lesser among us, such a suggestion makes one self-righteous,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some walk on sunshine while others are content to dance in the storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They say loneliness kills, innocuous but deadly,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Likewise they say to be wary, far too many carry hidden levels of toxicity,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There\u2019s someone for everyone, up to us to find \u2018em, that someone to build a life with, grow old and prosper with,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But get with the wrong one, that shit\u2019s a death wish, hard to tell friend from foe, makes you wonder why try at all,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their handiwork insidious, covert at first before bursting to the surface,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The damage irrevocable, often leading to dire and desperate consequences,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No wonder many go their own way, romance is dead, bright and clear as day,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nothing wrong with travelling on your lonesome, but what of the other option,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The journey gets lonely, might be nice to have some company, to help with day to day living, the teamwork so gratifying,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Provided that love, trust and respect remains intact, such is the case, for the most part,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You need not read them only in stories, look around, it\u2019s possible in reality,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take your time and find one that you vibe with, never know what might unfold,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can\u2019t dump all in the same box, to do so suggests the whole race is lost,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sadly, the mask drops when least expected, villains in disguise win, the innocent left the victims, broken and picking up the pieces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
