Wing Stand Thoughts
Awake at last to take on your challenges, trying to discard your fear of damages.
Learn to accept that life will sometimes be boring, your eyes will glaze over and give way to idling
The times will be tough, the people will be strident. Your mind will cling to safety as it will be defiant.
Change can be scary and quite unfamiliar, some cling to drugs and others cling to liquor.
I wish I could claim that you are above it all, but life has its ways of making everyone feel small.
It wants you to be believe that what you do won’t change things, as if fate and destiny were pulling all the strings.
It’s safer to assume so and requires far less reaching, but in the end robs you of your life’s deeper meaning.
Life demands more of you, to struggle and explore.
You gotta think outside the box to win your inner war.
So open up your eyes and learn to listen, feel, and see.
Realize that in this life, you are the way, the door, and key
