I had built up all of my hopes and all of my plans
Only to have them stand and cast shadows of humiliation
Days would pass
shadows would remain
A reminder of all of my dreams
I had to live humbled with
The disappointment of what never came to
be
I vow from this day forward
My grieving will be brief
That I will continue to give to this world
Knowing I may never
receive
I had come so far
Before being stripped and sent back to the start
It felt as though the air was tearing me
apart
A hybrid of seasons had come
It swept across the land
It spared the lives of everyone else
While it destroyed
everything I had done
The frost came in the night
My progress immortalized
All that I had left undone
Would be forever,
frozen in time
I became known for this curse
It happened throughout my life
It needed to continue to occur
In order to
keep my legacy alive
Before I know my time had arrived
It was already gone
Cursing the cold winds of change
My moment of
peace was just the eye of the storm
The will to live is easy
You can exist without a care
The will to die shows it meant so
much
That you couldn't have it - and you couldn't go on living without it
The will to give makes the best of nothing
It is a
philosophy
That states you will continue to give to this world
Knowing you may never receive.
Satisfaction will come and in
time it will leave us unsatisfied
As uncertainty returns
Bringing back the excitement to our lives
We can only enjoy so much
stimulation
Before we stop responding and become despondent again.
I had built up all of my hopes and all of my plans
Only to
have them stand and cast shadows of humiliation
Days would pass shadows would remain
A reminder of all of my dreams
I had to live
humbled with
The disappointment of what never came to be
Those shadows still remain as landmarks of failed attempts
In their
shade I work away at building a tower of character
One day it will be revealed and it will stand for man years
Casting a shadow of
its own and striking fear in hearts - as will I
It is the discomfort that sets us apart
That wakes us up, that puts us to
sleep
It is our pathetic moments
Which make us desire to be great
It is the starving itself
That makes us hungry to want
more
Over time as you learn to fall
You'll rise to your feet faster than the time before
Satisfaction is a peak on the verge
of decline
It will be over in the blink of an eye
Take your time to feel every moment
A gradual climb will let you enjoy
it
For your life is measured
By the degree of dynamic from your life to your death
The wait is long and the wait goes
on
But it is better to travel hopefully than to arrive
Through the crests and troughs
I will have seen both sides
By the
Pursuit of the Sun and the Allure of the Earth
I will have earned and spent my life
The will to give
There is no
destination
There is only the journey
