Pressure Induced Rant
I'm more than halfway to the gates
or so the statistics fancy to say.
Seen a lot but want to see a whole lot more.
Haven't suffered or laughed enough
Need a few more scars and scuffs.
Need to grow up a little, but I'm trending down.
Need to hide pain efficiently and struggle on more gracefully.
Buttress the weaknesses-maintain the strengths.
Though I don't have enough mental mortar.
Need to toss these streaks of jealousy in the pit.
Need to pare down this gigantic bucket list.
Appease some goals-go for one last blitz.
But I'm running low on energy and time.
Where are those auxiliary tanks of life?
I need to pray more?
Have I done enough for family and friends?
I need to be humbler
Have I done enough for myself?
I've got to stop whining.
Be a bigger man-struggle on in stoic silence.
I need to pray for others more-and mean it
