Notes About The Poem

MEDIOCRITY

a quiet life drifts by in muted hues, half-finished hopes and softly lowered views, the middle path becoming all one chooses. dreams dim to dusk when effort slips away, and almost-bright becomes the shade of day~ the middle path becoming all one chooses.

to be honest, sometimes I feel the "middle path" but I get up, make my moves :)
