Stay the Course
Stay the Course
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Years of ignoring and
Pushing back the urges
Have taken its toll.
Once, a long time ago, in my prime
The passion was uncontrollable,
Juices flowed freely;
Never ending.
Years of neglect
Make disipline hard,
Creavitity stiffled.
Frustration always looms.
Desire burns deep
But the short circuit
Goes unfixed,
Still broken
With few jump starts
Available.
My advice to the young one,
Never ever stop dreaming.
Remain vigilant.
Don't turn your cheek.
Forever write
There is no wrong;
Only fine tuning
And growth.
It's harder to come back
To life
Once you've been dormat.
Follow your dream!
Stay the course!
