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
