“I’ll keep your dreams
\nYou pay attention for me
\nAs strange as it seems,
\nI’d rather dissolve
\nThan have you ignore me
\nThe ground may be moving fast
\nBut I tied my boots to a broken mast”
\nMGMT – Congratulations
\nThat verse comes close to poetic justice for the way I feel.
\nIn my own words:
\n“I’m trying to capture the moment
\nmake it keep with the going
\nthe going is gone fast without us knowing
\nand were in the moment following
\nThat’s not where you’re at
\nahead one step but far in the back
\nand I’m stepping pace
\nstep into the race
\nthe trophy is mine for taking first place
\nBut the disconnect came
\nand the bells just rang and rang
\nin the moment to hang
\nthe handle failed to come off again
\nSo my contempt against
\nmyself without defense
\ncame in the form of loneliness
\nPride has it’s way
\nconvincing the heart to stay
\nstronger than I was yesterday
\nThe handle will come
\nsomehow I just know
\nembrace raising above the below
\nFear inside the heart
\ndiluted urgency to depart
\nso the chase continues into the dark
\nUrgency says stay in the race
\nmeet yourself face to face
\nif you really want first place
\nyou understand the risk to take
\nReward is beautiful
\npatron of being youthful
\nand the keys you hold
\nopen the world
\nGentlemen start your momentum”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
