'at Bay'
Start looking outside your frame of reference
for that which stands you alone
Stop longing for praise or high endorsement
things only borrowed or loaned
Start feeling those words you preach unto others
no longer idling yourself away
Stop blaming the time and the message it brings
—for those excuses that keep you ‘at bay’
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)
