Don't seek

how i have been feeling for the last couple of months. glad i actually worded this properly...been trying to get it right for a couple of days now.

Gripping tightly, it turns to dust.

Crushed by the pressure of the word “Must”

I “must” have it

I “must” find it.

I “must” forge it

I “must” gorge it.

I contemplate…if I was a blind man.

I would never seek because I could never see my plans,

So would the goals I seek come to me?

Or would I be trapped in darkness for eternity.

Metaphorically of course it's my philosophy.

To be blind is not to seek…an interesting analogy.

I don’t wish to be blind, or look at quotes from mythology.

I just  want to achieve, without the cynical methodology.

So for now I will sit but not with the security,

Of knowing that the spoils…will definitely arrive at my feet.

Exquisite and unique! Simple no other words. One TEENSY spelling error: *it's, in "Metaphorically of course its my philosophy." Other than that, well penned! I aplaud you!
