Although it isn’t always easy
every now and then may we be blessed
to forget about all the things that agitate, disturb and annoy us
and concentrate even if it’s only for a little while
on all that is beautiful, heartwarming and joyous
Concentrate
So you can penetrate
Through that concrete
Which are obstacles, denials and more
Into your concealed dreams or visions
Without deviating from your mission.
Focus and keep looking ahead
So you don't loose guard
Then fall back or resent
That's what a coward does
Relenting or forfeiting dreams.
Distraction is an enemy
That steals your glory
Gain victory over you
If you ain't focus or curious
So; concentrate on what's ahead of you
Concentrate on the necessities
Forget about the naysayers
People always have something to talk.
I can't concentrate,
There's too much to contemplate
These other thoughts dominate,
Oh what an infectious state,
Must be a common trait
Having learned to swim fairly late on
be about my early 30s that are in age
I had a fright with water at preschool
being thrown into water made me real rage
So when I did learn to really swim
a major problem hid me right face on
I had a stammer from very early in life
causing coordination probs now drawn
Learning to swim meant good coordination
this I didn't have as well as concentrate
cause in the swim I couldn't do them all
never impressed the girls so never got a date
Also remembering to breath caused a stir
whether on backstroke front or crawl
it just didn't make difference at all
this was one sport I was unmoved to stall
So all these years now gone by
I never was able to swim well
make sure you don't need rescuing
for I would be stuck in my shell
You need to concentrate
And raise those grades
Just study your books
There is always knowledge for you to gain
Continue to grab education
You can turn it all around
Put your mind to it
Just reach for that crown
I was up so late Now I cant
Hold my eyes open or concentrate
I really can't speculate
What kept me up so late
What possessed me
To be so careless and free
How this all messes with my mind
That everything I do feels like I am lagging behind
Oh how I wish I could rewind
Instead, I just want to fall out and unwind
Because I was up so late
Now it's not possible to concentrate
It's just crazy how no sleep makes me feel
Like my brain is out to lunch
And everything is a big deal
One thing is for sure
I got no business behind a wheel
Because I can hardly peel my eyelids open
To see what is in front of me
All I know is they are really sloping
And all I want to do is more moping
Just hoping that I can make something out of this day
All I can say when we want
To stay up late so we can play
It cost so much more than just
To next day in such a big way
So if I can sway you from wasting your next day
Because you want to stay up to play
It's way easier to just right off and throw away
Because you were up so late
Now it's not possible to concentrate
all a matter of the will,
complaints put ya off until,
her ya really didn't fancy,
been down that road with Nancy,
some needs ya canna fill:(
duct tape her mouth might still,
concentration, 4 the dancer....
until...
