Dust off your closet
and hack off that trophy wall
pack every one of them
and make them your prisoner
for the remaining life
if you want to be remembered
then start pinning your rejection letters
on the trophy wall of forgotten past,
till you hear every word
while sleeping.
sanity will beg you to fight
and the heart would race against mind
if even thinking about this is too much
then the smooth sea is all yours
you were not the one for untested waters
cause drowning was one of your fears.
