everlasting row boat
mildly planning for the manifestation of an anchor
checking boxes and leaving question marks to fill the void
cold feet makes for stern glances and second counting
doubt as you may but it is not me that you doubt
understand my reasoning yet not my motive
see my hands waving yet you cant see where my compass points
abandon ship lest the vessel drag you down with its pull?
it's not the resources or clarity of vision that you lack
it's not your apartment, your cell phone, your vehicle
it's not even the books you read, nor the lyrics you sing
it's a practice in patience - in strength - in endurance
faith by practice has no evidence or proof that can be cited
you must walk in stride knowing your differences
do not make you better nor do they hurt you
but when you feel the wind on your feet you must move
and when you hear the sirens calling you must stay still
and when you see the fork in the road ahead you must take one of the two
i do not object to you taking the other road
i do not wish that you'd remain at my side despite your will saying otherwise
abandon ship lest the squid encompass you inside its tentacles
preserve your heart lest it grow weary with travel and trial
make way for the warmth and renewal of strength
and dont look back
for i won't stop you at the door
and i wont be waiting where you exit
checking boxes and leaving question marks to fill the void
