Midnight passed by the ticking clock,
stepping outside and climbing down the stairs to get to the front
yard being met solemn silence beginning to get lost in a train of
thought, staring out in the distance, once again
picturing a different life I’d hope to obtain sooner rather than later
Picturing that new life of hopping into a new career that’s sound
and stable while rekindling my senses to the once familiar surroundings
of my beloved hometown, what was before in the rearview mirror
and the content feeling of the joy of walking through another door to an
exciting chapter I’ve daydreamt about experiencing.
Nonstop, relentless, continuously on “repeat.”
One song that my brain is addicting to hearing over and over again,
I can see myself moving on with my four legged best friend, riding high on
the winds coasting through the freeway into the pictures that were
merely just “a fantasy” at one point.
Never knowing if it had any stance to become a reality
Never really knowing if it has material of being a tangible possibility to manifest, but I’m not going to stop wondering
Nothing can make me change my mind at this point.
The stars shining brightly as I breathed in and out to reclaim my faith once more, the thoughts of throwing in the towel before I started
evaporated from my mental space quicker than a flash.
I got lost in the visualization of what it would be like on the other side of the wall where everything I’m experiencing now is in the past,
only fading further and further away especially if I start to gain progress of
shaping my life closer and closer to my ideal as the days pass
Shaping my life to what I’ve been wanting it to be for the past ten months,
maybe even longer than that, thanking the stars above
Thanking the heavens above and singing a song of praise for the divine forces invisible to my senses but I know it’s there somewhere
Hoping to gain momentum and catch up for the last ten months where all of that time became lost
and became a repeating cycle of an unfulfilling chapter
What makes it easier to wake up in the morning is the hope for it to change
What’s going to make it easier to wake up in the morning is
the ambition to break
through the barriers that once stood firmly in my way
But this time I won’t run like a coward, I’ll stand my ground firmly before breaking
through into the newer levels I never thought I’d experience
Leveling up from being a warrior with
perseverance to a victor holding success,
For now, it’s time to retire into a midnight’s sleep.
