The Succinct Pursuit

Pursue the truth at its finest Pursue it for what you know to be true, what defines how you feel Not it's relativity in regards to others Pursue yourself In the sense that in this world everyone strives to be so different without realizing That it just makes you the same. Instead pursue the ideal of knowing oneself because that is the way to be unique. After all there is only one you. Pursue your own thoughts. Let not these words be the motivation to discover what should be uncovered Let the want, the desire, to better know the real you forge a passion unmatched by anything else The pursuit will not always be met with open arms Opposition is a must for change to occur Without it, there is nothing to challenge or push someone to become better Mediocrity is a disease that cripples the mind The mind is the tool in which everything else is made possible If you do not push it, use it to define what you see and what you feel Then it is a waste. Pursue nothing but the passions of the heart The chase for the light will lead you out of the dark.

"Mediocrity is a disease that cripples the mind" That line in itself is POWERFUL, but this verse is exquisite. Definitely a favorite. I would like to thank you for posting this because I feel the EXACT same way. I am going through a transition period myself, yearning for change! Much of my most recent poetry is based on change!EXCELLENT my friend. I will be back to visit soon!!Asavvy1

You're welcome and thanks for the props! We should all go through transition periods at some point to test ourselves. I'll definitely check out your work.
