'augmentation'

Blank canvas in your sight You get to choose The way you drape and decorate Don't be too conservative Change might scare you But you might Relish the outcome There will be days when it don't pan out That doesn't mean you failed If you judge yourself too harsh You may forget there is a lesson to be learned How will you remember? If not by your mistakes? We all have to start somewhere - Unless you prefer to be inert Unless you remain Rooted to the spot Refusing to grow To falter isn't your lesson How you react to it; is How you embrace The opportunity to grow
