The Walk

That cannot be bought

By Hunter BlakelyPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Hopeful for a life that cannot be bought.

Faithful in action, dedicated in thought.

You try when others only talk.

Steady in course, you wade through the masses.

Ascending mountains, in the moment as it passes.

Content, and diligent with hope driving your movements.

Potent, and stringent when making your decisions.

Only ever attracted to what everyone desires.

Only ever after what anyone would dream.

Only Mainstream in mindset, while unmatched in your works.

Others fancy the thought, while you strive in earnest.

They fall in love with the idea, while you fall in love with the process.

They want, while you have.

They wish, while you achieve.

Willing and faithful, not a beggar in want.

Your example inspires hatred, envy, and also love.

Eyes open, chin up.

You move past the hopeless, and the faithless.

The climbing never stops.

And all for what?

You need no reason other than life.

To live, and love, and share, and die.
