Stall exhibition
No prohibition
Problems made
With no resolve
We have to grow
And evolve
Stalling out
Over the holidays
For the world can say
What a great nothing
What a moment to cease
All of that just to
Keep the peace
Ode to complication
How you have grown
From such a little boy
To full blown man
You used to have no role
In my life
Absent at times
Now more full time
Coming on stage
During the Holidays
Bending truths
Subjecting relationships
To misunderstandings
How I would not fear you
Growing up
But as I age
I see the ripples
Growing on a sleepy lake
Unfortunately it seems
You have arrived
Not ethereal
But on my life’s front door
Now that your here
I will now have to learn to adapt
Grow
Accommodate this new arrival
I wish you not the best
But that we can both exist
I thought I knew what was dedication
The summation of creation by mean of constants
Recurring events
A passive attempt at making myself something
But life has taught me a new life of dedication
What is the daily commitment to a lack of procrastination
The blood tears sweat of daily motivation
Reckless abandonment of other pursuits
Caring for every moment
Every move
Dedication has a new life in my eyes
Taking every moment in time
As a crucial chance to invite new challenges
Looking back I truly did not know dedication
It was a pretty word used for protection
From a true lack of focused determination
But as I grow we realize
What is true dedication
