The struggle is real

I've been told I never finish things

I've been told "It seems like your not fully in"

I'm tired of being told what I have been doing.

I'm tired of the feelings that comes with these statement's about me.

I want to finish what I start

I do finish things

Life is funny

And so is the way this world works.

Give me direction and I flow

Give me nothing and I search

But when nothing is given, please don't expect the grandest out come, because I do not know where to start or where to end.

If you are given a plan it is easy to follow, and you will prevail.

If you are give a piece of paper, one might sit and ponder the paper.

Why is the paper here, what is the paper made of, should I write on it? Should I fold it into a star? Or should I shred it into pieces and watch it blow away in the wind?

Only one answer is the right answer, and you only have one try.

If you write on it, its no longer paper, its now paper & ink

If you fold it into a star there are now creases, these creases stay you can not remove them

If you shred it into pieces, you cant not put it back.

So which do you choose?

There is only one way to go.

And you do not have the answer.

But you need the answer

Because that is how you finish

Look at the paper analyze it and walk away

There is no right way only paper.

Some people are given plan other's a piece of paper.

I was given the paper, that is something I do know

I've written on the paper, folder the paper, then I shred the paper into pieces

But my pieces didn't blow away in the wind, mine fell to the floor. So I picked the pieces up tapped them back together put the paper in a frame and hung it on a wall.

The frame fell off the wall.
