Optional

Optional is not an option anymore. I will roam and I will writhe. I will rally, rebuild. I will pave a road, I'll launch a ship. I'll race a train, I'll run like hell. I'll suck the marrow from my spine. I'll hold my head above the moon. I'll dive in the deep, I'll chase a bullet. I'll wander out, I'll slide away. I'll lead an army and bomb the past. Declare unrest and start new rule. Crown a new king, I'll carve a new stone. I'll turn a new leaf and I'll sing a new song. I'll make a new wish And I'll burn a new bush. I'll write a new page And jump in with both feet. I'll love a new lover And befriend whom you hate. I'll start a campaign. I'll torch down our home. Then move heaven and earth one inch to the left. I'll shake. I'll regroup. I'll push and I'll prod. Reincarnate Regurgitate. I'll weave... I will tide. I'll bend, and I'll bob, and I'll steal, I WILL TAKE! Because optional's not an option... Anymore. Sahn 6/8/14
