The Border

Walking home towards the Lake
Listening to Take Care by Drake
Reflecting on my life
Realizing I try so hard I could cut the stress with a knife
Hitting walls has been a great success for me
I'm sick of it, I wanna crawl into a hole or climb up a tree
Hiding from life until it passes
But if I did that, my troubles would multiply by the masses
I can't see two inches in front of my face
Maybe I need better glasses
Maybe I can't see on earth, but I can from another planet -- outer space
I need to better my way of life
I'm sick of writing about struggle
I'm sick of using the word strife
I want new sentences with new vernacular
No, just new, nothing spectacular
So what will the bubble diagram show on the chalkboard today?
Answers without doing the work is a tall order
Time to get on my feet and move
Nothing will be accomplished if I don't, not even a quarter
Time to cross -- I've already reached the border
Me, my reflections, and I
I don't have to prove anything to anybody else
Just myself, and I aim to do so before I die...

@RighteousBruin - I think it's time to sail to my destination...
@sleekpunk - Thank you so much, you're awesome... It's good to see you.
Love the photo! You look confident yet worried, and you're doing something about it. You are empowered and those headphones are smart!
Mean business, Carsten. Cross the Rubicon, er Chicago River, and do what you love.
