CATALYST

It always takes something or someone to drive change

No one wants to give the credit when the change was a positive one, though

You did it on your own...yah, okay

But when the change leads to negativity

it's everyone else's fault but your own

You blame your childhood

Starting with your parent(s)

They were abusive

They missed your games

They didn't show up.

Never mind the minor detail of them having to work multiple jobs--

Keeping clothes on your back

A roof over your head,

And food to stuff that ungrateful mouth

you now use to curse at them.

We need a reaction to cause permanent change

to navigate through life.

Otherwise, we feel empty.

Without purpose or meaning.

It's almost debilitating--

(If that's the appropriate word to use).

What happens if one day we wake up

and nobody is there to tell us we suck

No reason to rise above?

Why has the masses made it so?

To need a reason to want

Growth and Greatness

Ahh! This will be the true test

of strength...

or weakness!

Intrigued, I am.
