Inspiration

Good ideas go unrecognised 
they hear your words and roll their eyes
some will mock laugh and cry
seeing squarely blind to wide

failed perspective 
blind too the big context
opinions subjective 
forget their disrespect 

Some people only follow trends
don’t know good til told by friends
staying in line for they depend
only move towards its end

Maybe you’re closer than you think
just need to perfect it
tired of losing but on the brink
unable to detect it

You’re only ever one trail of thought away from the idea
see I say trail as leads will lead you a path thinking clear
a train is whole as it travels on tracks that you can’t steer
cus you can trek any way to make the goal come near

You feel like quitting you must carry on
you gave your all, never, there’s more be strong,
take a break, fresh your face, learn where you went wrong
endurance and resilience deliver champions

I know it’s tough and testing
you’ve had enough need resting
rest not forget is what your mind suggests, 
if you just keep going you can be the best
