Persistence
You
Try so hard
It’s like you’re playing hard
Ball
You
Run as fast as you can
And then get burned
Out
You
Throw the ball like you’re
Praying to Mary
Or like you’re
Shooting for the stars
Maybe you’ll hit Allen
Burns
Because, he’s a star, right?
Why do you try so hard
When you already have that
Which you are trying for
What is it that
Winds the gears of your
Metaphorical clock
Or that
Keeps the fire burning
When doused by water
Are mountains not meant
To be climbed
Valleys trekked
And rivers swam
As long as I have arms
And legs
I will continue to climb
Scaling slabs of granite
And as long as I have a brain
I will always
Love you
