<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So you chose to swerve the path, beaten to death, trod by many,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rewards guaranteed, mostly, at the very least greater security,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ran in the proverbial race for years, a better life the promise powered by the dollar,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before life\u2019s true calling was encountered in the midst of a personal war,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Set off on a mission the mind\u2019s eye can only see, to the majority it goes unseen, a hiding to nothing is what they feel,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More risks, to be sure, fueled only by dreams,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heavy lies the heads of they whose destinations remain shrouded in uncertainty,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hard work and dedication pays dividends but in the end the luck of the draw says all,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Better plan that next step, pronto, never know what could happen tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Work on it day by day, at your own pace, you\u2019ll be ok,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But for every step taken a price must be paid,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They\u2019ll have plenty to say, it all comes in waves,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Assuming the worst like you ain\u2019t ok, your dance in the dark conjuring up whispers for days,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They mean well, you can tell, concerns wrapped in more backhands than Federer,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the choice is yours, always, whether to be better or bitter,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then there\u2019s the voices within your mind, from them there\u2019s nowhere to hide,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Harder to dodge than those throwing stones from out the house, locked doors are futile when the tormentors are inside,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can only block the noise and keep at it, persevere through the whippings,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Small wins in the process are your best rebuttals to the judge, jury and executioner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then when you\u2019re ready, go put it out there, time to do your talking,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let \u2018em see what\u2019s been cookin\u2019 from the do-nothing,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where will you go from here? Only you know the answer,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Will you find gold at the end of the rainbow? Only time will tell, but rest assured, win or lose, you ought to be chuffed,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By giving it a go you\u2019d already proven enough, only the mad and the brave take their shot,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fewer are willing to step into the void, to leave it all behind without giving a second thought,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Come up roses, it\u2019s a hell of a legacy, come up short there\u2019s no regrets, you\u2019ll still rest easy,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eyes forward and march on, follow that dream, life\u2019s too short,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Time is a thief, as you already know, why waste it where you ain\u2019t thriving?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let \u2018em say whatever, everyone has an opinion, they\u2019re entitled to it,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ll have the last laugh, in the end, you better believe it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
