Older
When you get older
You could either be colder
Or start to wake up
You realize patience is a virtue
Mopping around and waiting for people
Waiting on an answer
Will not get you far in life
Some people change
But most people don’t
If you don’t put in effort to make your work speak for itself
To master your craft
To care for others
Find actual joy
Chase excellence over people
And follow God
And know you can’t satisfy everybody
Make everyone proud
Impact and movements are hard to die out
The human condition is a powerful thing
Fame is temporary
Money is a tool
Movements speak through the ages
You are to shine through hard work
Perseverance
Virtue
Not having your arms wide open waiting for change
Pain
Troubled times
These are what makes warriors
Humans have free will
And greatness within
And you could be chased
Loved
Eventually the pain can be enough
But through ages
You can echo virtues
These are what made saints
Martyrs
Known men of greatness
Not how well they fit in
Not chasing lust
Or shameful desires
Or acting deprived
Desperate
With no spine
Affection is great
But not always necessary
As you get older
The ones who done you wrong
Instead of proving them wrong
You no longer start to care
You want them to be cured
Find real happiness
And vanity doesn’t mean much anymore
It is powerful for the soul
To chase greatness within
