so it does

so you stole my heart
and left me a ransom letter
demanding i treat you better
should i ever want you back


have u seen how highways are built?
and there's that concrete with all the metal rods sticking out?
support. it makes the concrete stronger.

apply it to yourself.
you're the concrete
and the rods are...i dont know
your morals, your faith, your hope
everything you stand for i guess
without them, you're not strong
physically or mentally
put more pressure on it
and it breaks, it crumbles and it falls

my rod is only so far in
i've yet to had it rammed into me
someone dear to me pushed it in just that slight bit more
and with everything that has to be pushed into you, it hurts
but i've got my painkillers :)

i've only to wait and see
sometimes doing nothing is the best thing to do
and nothing worth having is ever easy
doesnt matter what it is or what form it is
or what you label it as -and labels fade thru time anyway-
you've just got to fight for it
but stick to your guts
i'm gonna try that now

of course i will look back
think of all the what ifs and the shoulda woulda couldas
but this is it.
i wanna stand up and walk away
slowly? quickly?
only time will tell
but im not going to forget

they say some things can't be taught.
but what about all those "creative thinking" workshops?
and the entrepreneurship courses?

live in the moment --
take a good look at your surroundings,
see the potential,
and partake the possibilities
