raised to believe stagnation is a death
to stay still even in safety is a slope
never to be content with good enough
even when good enough is your best
never to take a rest
because to rest is a slope
that they say I am always falling down
there is always something to reach
“but dont you dare reach for what you love”
this is a loveless cruel thing
to never rest is to reach the end
before you’ve done anything at all
rest is not a stand still
but a chance to grow in a different way
and to reach for something you dont love
is a mocking insult to your heart and soul
that I will take no part of
