Everyday Greatness

A high school project I have kept cause I like the message and the delivery.

Amid aspirations 

both swollen and lost

Are benefits garnered

not smitten with cost

Leagues and legions

of procrastinations

March on each soul

March on each nation

Yet one light shines

amid the rest

Hope will return 

at the trump of duress

Vibrations flowing

reverberations coming

Chaos is ebbing

freedom forthcoming

The one gift is granted

the one feat eternal

For those who are spirited

the ability internal

The warm nectar success

will warm our minds numb

Sweet, sweet rest

does your soul have the room? 

In this mindless race, 

the ones who are winning

A separate better race

lies with those contending

Those who show no limit

those who mercy refrain

those who always can bear it

those who always sustain

The ones that don't let go

these are the ones who strive

These are the ones to overthrow

the ones who put meaning to life

Greatness is not measured by the road

or by how many detours that claimed you

Greatness is what you were able to goad

from those who had it before you

Let the ones who let themselves go

just let the others push them around

Let them fall, their fall is to show

show you that you don't belong on the ground

You can't let anyone stop you

soldiers we must be

Let anyone's lies get through: 

and your sight will cease to see

Author's Note

The beginning almost needs to be ignored. I have simply failed to come up with anything better.

I really adored this write. Deep feelings with this. I loved the last stanza.
