Emanate

8/15/16


What you wanted you got close to
But that just won't do

Not going to cut it
If it's something you truly covet

No time to worry about any what if
Try again to be triumphant

One little mistake
And you can go from first to sixth place

Don't underestimate
And hesitate
Keep your head on straight
I'll let it sink in so that it can resonate
While constant particles emanate
Some insects, spiders, scorpions, and snakes can envenomate

Near and far from memorial placards
Wisely and carefully maneuver around any navigational hazards
Keep on looking forward instead of backwards
Above, below and inside of caverns
