The Definition of Perseverance

Now is not the time
to lose confidence in what
got you to this point

This is just a piece of a longer piece that I’m working on.

Questions now outweigh
answers so I put a pause
on thinking to balance the scales.

Why do they call those
people “experts”? No one
is an expert at life.

That’s all that matters.
Just make sure you get
this one thing right

Everything else is wrong.
Now find that one thing
GO

How precious is this vapor
we call life?

How confident are you that
this isn’t your only life?

Do you know what’s to come
when you step across those crossroads
to the other side? 

I’m losing myself
in not knowing. Why is it
so comfortable? 

My favorite song became
our theme song and I
used to love when I
heard it come on.

Our favorite song became
a most hated song bringing
up distant memories when
I heard it come on.

Now that your name floats
in a lake of gone and forgotten
I ask not for a t-shirt
or piece of vain jewelry.

I just want
my song back. 

We are like seasons
You are spring. Let me thank you
For the revival

umustcreate:

the worms
can feast upon me
when i am gone
but i hope my words
will carry on

To marry your mind
and have children
with your soul?

You can answer when you’re ready. 

Maybe
I shouldn’t have taken
your maybe as a yes

I guess I just thought
that you possessed differences
but the only difference I see
in you is your name.

You are pyrite to a pirate
a mirage of an oasis

A remake of a movie
that wasn’t even that great
as an original

Maybe
I shouldn’t have given
you so much credit

Maybe I shouldn’t
have wasted my time
trying to get you
to share your time. 

88 keys is all
I have to lose
The soul’s symphony
Hear the blues

Hear how it choreographs
Itself with my footsteps
As I walk away

I was once a peninsula
Now an island
Floating until I find
Paradise

The keys serve as
A map. They are
The north star

88 keys is all
I have to lose
Symphony of the soul
Hear the blues
