It's been a long time comin'

old friend
i t s b e e n a w h i l e
hasn't it?
I've missed you
it's true

oh
you know
still searching
yes, but
i AM circling IN
on some
THING

mut
that is
c o u r a g e
it's what we need
THAT is what one needs
courage
courage to move
F O R W A R D

here, here i am

blue sky at dawn, can't sleep.

FORK IN THE ROAD:
but what should I do?

fight till the end

sometimes its hard
harder than you think
PUSH PUSH PUSH
p u s h t h r o u g h it
let it be/what it wants/to be

to grow is to be and to see

s a t i s f a c t i o n!
from action, -
a reaction?
a tricky thing, it is:
TO LIVE...
but
a d a p t a t i o n
IS KEY TO
s a t i s f a c t i o n!

I've come a long way, but I've got to keep moving (chuggin') along.
But growth is key, I find. A necessity.
[Self-reflection as well.]
Although, growth without reflection is: (impossible?)

Unsure I am
of what lies ahead.
BUT confidence will come,
the further from --
MISTAKES and (belly) ACHES

state of the (brain) address

it's (really) all about,

the M E N T A L zone you make in -

create in  - your mind.

earth-colored clay

I'm starting to get a clearer picture...
of what might be
the potential that could be

O P T I M I S T I C

I'm malleable
ever changing
never stopping
choo-choo!

tango til' their sore

H E A T -- 

it's making me,

turning me,

churning me,

in and out and up and down

C R A Z Y (!)

the weight at the end?

i f e e l a l l a r o u n d m e

pressing down on my back

tension, where is your release?

the END is in sight,

but out of reach

please, come quick!

save me. 

no way out but through.

UNFORTUNATELY
