Damper lashes grace my face and explain
my toils as I travel down a path I've never been before
Limited time transfixes my thoughts
and my heart is trodden on as frustration engulfs all rationale
The more I stare, the more hopeless I become and the more helpless I am to my own cause
Everyone around me seems to have a map
telling them where to go, what to do- they all look so calm
But here I am lost and wandering and
doing everything wrong
If failure is imminent, what else
matters in the world?
What else matters is that it's only a
stone under my wheels that strikes my balance and causes me to
stumble, but I do not allow myself to fall, for I will break a bone
which will take much longer to heal than pride
The stone is behind me and though I have faltered, I remain in one piece and whole
Though my mind is distracted as I carry
on traveling, the fact is that I still choose to carry on
Will the stone make you fall? For me it
wasn't easy at all, but some are more careless
Passion will heal me with the help of
the Dead Poets and Mr. Keating who shall inspire me once again to do
what I love
I shall one day stand on tables, show
the world a new perspective, and preach to the power of Carpe Diem
and the importance of individualism and creativity
This stone shall not let me fall- I shall carry on down this untraveled path without my map and try my
hardest to reach the goal in which I have been pursuing for so long
