Limitless

A tiny yellow capsule 
A powder, if you will
Syrup in a bottle
A perforated pill

But this is all a dream
This pill isn't real
like a jumping bean
Perform, it never will

But if it did exist
I would keep steady hands
Remain focused
Remember dates and plans

I would be in control
On the top of my game
Always on a roll
Feeding my brain

A top notch problem solver
Climbing the ladder
An equation dissolver
Blocking out the chatter

Motivated patience
To undivide my attention
Function by a list
And not forget to mention

Wake me up on time
To my alarm clock ringing
I wouldn't get behind
From excessive dreaming

I would live for the moment
Finally, I would thrive
I'd take my life and own it
And, for once, I'd feel alive

Wow, what a pill that would be! The thing is, you can do all those things even without a pill! Positive thinking, an optimistic viewpoint, a reality that could be, if you wanted it bad enough! I really loved this incredible poem this morning (early)! What a wondrous and incredible piece, truly a grandiose poem, Great Work...and keep your chin up, you can be this poem!!
