Relate

Open your eyes for just a second

Grab hold of the universe
Reverse your destiny
Incessantly trying

Scream a little louder
A little longer
Stronger than before

Mark the wet pavement 
With the tip of your miniscule finger
Linger on to the legacy of forever

Scratch your initials into the tree
With your dirt filled nail
Failing is not an option

Speak a little softer
A little lighter
Brighter than before

Despite the struggle
Induce your future
And clutch the candor 

Inhale because it’s necessary
You need the extra breath
Breathe

Twist the story 
to a more feasible plot
Reachable dream
This is not me 
This is you

Relate to the message
This is the presage
Have questions
Leave impressions
Create answers 
Cancel the cynicism 
And just listen

Blissful at mind
Open in heart
Absorbent at soul
Relate to my story 
Relate
