Conversations with myself!

A Poem

Dante et Virgile aux Enfers — Gustave Courtois 1879

Should I give it all up?

Just give in to monsters inside my head telling me there’s no point?

Should I keep going?

Just listen to that voice telling me to keep holding on!

— — —

Quit waiting for the world to tell you not to give up!

Stop waiting for the public to convince you to pursue your dreams!

You can’t really be productive when you’re in pain.

No one can anyway…

Oh… To be crippled by overwhelming pain is a curse I wouldn’t wish upon my worst enemy.

But yet again….

I really am my worst enemy!

Oh… to be debilitated by unbeknown fear

Oh…

How you’ve changed…

You’ve become so obedient

You’ve been tamed

Isn’t it just sad?

Oh, how you’ve changed…

— — —

Quit waiting for the world to tell you not to give up!

Stop waiting for the public to convince you to pursue your dreams!

— — —

You know what you’re capable of…

Only you know what you have to offer…

No one is going to hold your hand

Nor Teach You How To Fight!

It’s one of those things! You either have it or you don’t!

— — —

After everything you’ve been through…

And everything you’ve overcome…

It would be a shame if you didn’t hold on!

— — —

So for the love of everything you ever held dear to your soul!

Quit waiting for the world to tell you not to give up!

Stop waiting for the public to convince you to pursue your dreams!
