PARANOIA OF GROWTH

Life is long or life is short, life is hard or life is a bed of roses;

 Life is fun or life is shitty, this life no balance or we all get what we deserve;

 Everything is about perspective;

Whether you are myopic or hyperopic in your sight is all in your hands;

It’s a new year, some dreams are fading and some are getting clearer

The paranoia of growth sets in, fear of social class and account balance

Would I be so boxed up I’ll get all I want?

Would I be the friend every other person in the clique has to send money to?

Intoxicated by the unknown, replete with thoughts of the unseen

The malaise of cause’s unknown, constant headaches

The pills grow effete but the swallowing continues

Is school really a scam? Did I waste off 5 years of my life?

Do I need a side hustle? Oh! I should start a business

The head hits the pillow, the worrying continues

Another awakening, another business idea

An unending cycle of stress, sweats and panic attacks

Let me help you lance through your misery

Let me shine light on your fears

Let me amplify your thoughts

Let me maximize your nightmares

Oh shit! You thought I had some sage things to say didn’t you

Oh well sorry but I ain’t no magus

I’ll tell you this though, water your fears and the stress

Allow them to grow into the motivation you need them to be

Let them be the guide on your path to success

Let them be the ink with which you write your story

Don’t get overwhelmed, don’t let them consume you

But don’t let them loose their grip either

Sit above them so that while they fuel your engine you never lose the wheel

For when you lose the engine your dreams stop and when you lose the wheel your life stops

It’s a battle and only the strong will overcome

Happy New Year
