The Entrepreneur

A recent share on a post, that is so relevant to poets writing in a world seeped in instant self gratification.


Title.

The Entrepreneur

(A lone voice whispers)

We do what we do, because we are old school

Inspired by the likes of visionaries such as, Michelangelo or, Vincent van Gogh

For in a modern world driven to seek immediate validation, and the trappings of success

We may be becoming a rare breed

For deep down, we know this unconditionally 
Unconsciously

We are a work in progress

We who do the hard work constantly, through patience, and resilience 

We know we will eventually see the journey has been worth it

As we are blessed

When the world eventually sees or embraces our portfolios 

For that immense need driven by relentless consistency, patience, and resilience

Will eventually knock on a certain door to be opened by us

Marked 

"For the brave
Who conquered the Lands of Broken Dreams filled with Regrets"
