You are more

more than you think

more than you have been

more than just lip sync

more than your past

more than a quick blink

more than just fast

what has been forecast can't be undone

the greatness instilled in you

and the times you've won

The times you fell short

the times you weren't number one

Even with a tough past, unlike most

contrast

you held steadfast to you

harassed and outcast

you still seemed to outlast

most

that have been amassed...

you are more

more than you think

more than you have been

more than just lip sync

more than your past and more than a quick blink

when most chose to drown

you refused to sink.

The passing of knowledge and wisdom is keen to our future, so why not make acquiring this knowledge a bit more interesting. I share what comes to mind although it may not make sense all of the time, all in hopes you learn from me. Maybe you'll understand something I couldn't see. So please enjoy what I write and maybe, just maybe, you'll learn something new that could broaden even your world view.
