Don't Wait

#VocalNPM

By Danielle Fairchild Published 5 years ago 1 min read

Somehow humans are naturally cautious

in which direction we steer,

Because one quick and brutal turn can

change that special feature in the mirror.

We're told our whole lives

to go after our dreams,

And that's hard for those of us

who can't decipher what that means.

We still work towards them and we

still try.

Because we all know there's more to life

than just to work and then die.

We work and we work and then say

that were tired.

We're not tired,

We're just uninspired.

I try to live as if I've

given up everything I desire,

Collapse all the negativity

that strikes the fire.

To find the difference in math

is to subtract.

Maybe a hint to humans

as to how we should act.

Put difference in the years

and add more to our dreams.

We're in such a hurry because the world

may not go on as long as it seems.

"Later" could turn into,

"It's too late."

The time may never be just right,

So don't wait.
