Pause

Everything has a pause
Answers
Opinions
Anger
Sadness
Movements
And I realize now
Even in my spontaneity there’s clarity


I see before I think
I think before I act
However it doesn’t show it
A long one, a short one
I value it
It keeps the mind is suspense
After all no man likes to wait 
It’s an itch in the brain
Some do not believe it in as I’ve said


They believe in the rush and fail to think further
The dread of not being ahead
The constant comparisons with strangers
Second guessing nature
I was once like that
Only now I’m learning
That it doesn’t stop growth
Only pushes it
Pause to me is Patience
To me its hope
I’m learning it
