Utility

A blank page a hollow one 
Its plainness sickening 
A page without a scribble is faceless 
Without a story or experience behind it 
Nothing for emulation  
But with a little colour or few words
Life is breathed into it 

So is a life without direction
And a drive to push for change 
For life isn’t a statue 
It’s always on the move
We only need to wake and prioritize 

It matters not where we stand
Or how long we’ve been standing there
What matters is if we want to move past the stand 

Pens are never too far from reach 
For dreams they are
Knowing how to pick them up
Strategizing goals out of them
And scoring achievement 
Is the procession from a vacuum life 
To a life that resounds meaning every day 

I’m waking up;
Making myself utility
