Inertia

Described by some as a disposition
Unless acted upon by a missed provision
Momentum gained when you’re at your 
best
Per centum pain if you lie at rest…
This fluid plane much like the notion
That one sustains once there is motion
Are thoughts no longer free to act
Just focused stronger at your back…
This slow exchange of your projection
Becomes the range in all directions
Resisting not to look back toward
Assisting you as you’re falling 
forward…
So many times I could not see
But now I know what’s been pushing me
And its up to you to figure out
What your inertia’s all about
