Focusin'


Concentration

Noun. Defined by me as...

The deliberate act of...

Getting...

       My mind

                OFF

                      You.

i.e. drowning oneself, myself in the studies

of how to keep the things I lose...

memories.

verb.

To actively relive and relish the past

as the present

in hopes

of its change to be

the new future

Clarity.

Isn't that a mid-life crisis thing?

Except it happens

from the conception and last us

to our death beds...

It's that feeling of trying

to grasp onto whatever

HOPE -we do have left

And apply it to our fleeting

morale values learnned at birth
