Patience is a survival tactic
Without it, you jump too quick
Only to fall and just end up
Destroying precisely yourself

Watch the choices that you make
Be wise when you decide to take
Action on all of your assumptions
Without the proper knowledge

If you are wrong, then you end up
Trusting not at all, pushing too hard
Coming off like the only troubled one
Deemed unable to handle things at all

Patience is a virtue in a person
Without it, goodness is lessened
Then a higher quality seems lost
Destroying you the most of all

If your gut was right to begin
Then there’s time to dive in
But first you must think clear
Not out of pity or from fear

It’s the hardest thing for anyone
Sit back and wait for absolution
But there are better outcomes
As trying to avoid destruction

Patience is a type of lesson
Practiced and not just given
It may take time and cries
But it could better your life
