|Substance| - "Pursuit" [7/11]

Motivated to use my findings, I wrote an uplifting piece.

“Pursuit”

We live through the waves of uncertainty

Altered by unexpected influences

The senses once had dissipate

As neurons vacillate between paths

 

Subject to the wrath of the unknown

As these fluctuations groan on

The tone gets lower as the stakes get higher

Trying to compile one’s thoughts as the psyche is wrought

 

Caught in a bind

Nowhere to find advice except the self

The one that guides you through each moment

A path light that flickers and leaves you blinded

 

Blindsided by the bleak

Grinded by the meat

Want to be defeated

But fuck an incomplete

 

Thought, ride the vine

Climb the shrine

Be a beacon of innovation

Shun the rum, get it done

 

But have some fun, realize life should be lived

Don’t seek security in the hopes of happiness

Explore the realm

Be the helm

 

Be a knight in exuberant armor

Impenetrable and bolstered

Not deterred by the looming dragon

Not faltered by the doom arriving

Striving in other’s conniving
