Starting At the Finishing Line and Crossed Words

Given that i have started now

I may as well now finish what I began

Surely shouldn't I

As wouldn't it be pointless stopping
now I have come thus far

And pondering and wondering the
how's and why

I started down this path at all is
derelict and reticent and frivelent 
at best 

As once this my very own box of
Pandora's trick's is opened

The tap begins to drip and this individual
certain leak can never afterwards be
turned off or repaired 

Word's and thoughts keep streaming
into your conciousness thereafter

Matter's not whether it is am or pm
night nor day

As everything you now wish to say
have an opinion on or think

You are and feel duty bound to
illiterate and solidify in ink

If only for no other prying eye's but
your own to covert and revisit at a 
later date

In order to remind you that at very
least for once in your life

You finished what you started

And meant every single word
