You are exhausting---
The constant hammer
that falls upon my head;
driving me to fulfill a goal,
making me always think,
with ideas that keep me fed.
Years before---
I was feral as a man
wild of tooth and tongue.
Uncaring in my approach
both aimless and blameless,
from the badge of being young.
Still---
Out of the faceless crowd
I chose an expression,
imprinted now, only you would do.
To save me from my sickness,
and secret life that only you knew.
That stubborness---
I can not quit because of it
and so I reach to climb;
through thorn and thistle,
moving higher, higher still,
until I reach that azure sky.
However---
Once I'm staring at it
I feel it's just not true.
Thinking hard on the challenge
I dig up through cloud and heaven,
and continue on my way...
Because you taught me to.
