Follow Through

Sun, 12/21/2014 - 01:11 -- Caspane

What people can do, is tell themselves they can do.

The only thing holding you back is the choice to follow through.

Everybody has a genius soul, and the ones that we all know

are the ones who push their limits.

I'm obsessed with that.

I feel old, like wasted potential.

And feel incapable, like a low quality, Staples brand pen.

But I know better.

I fall in love,

and get stressed out.

I get five minutes of fame.

I Cry, want, need,

miss, judge, and achieve.

I'm average.

But burning hotter than anything else, a mantra that pushes me through a lazy summer, and cuts through the hardest times, not like butter.

But with a heavy, dull, Staples brand pickaxe. 

Never settle.
