Half filled cup
A conflict between fear and curiosity
An enigma for a country bumpkin in a city
thousands of thoughts through lately
thoughts that I make and thoughts that make me
actions that I never took
resolutions that couldn’t fruit
emotions that wavered without much truth
convictions that weren’t pursued
so what are you trying to do?
who are you trying to please?
is this try even worth it?
or is it just your inner greed?
the half empty cup says, you know what
shut down, just be nothing
do nothing. feel nothing
seek nothing. see nothing
the half filled cup however says
Yes, thoughts are going to daunt you
And failure is going to haunt you
yes, sometimes all you’ll do is sigh
Run to a corner and just cry
But, the next day after a good cry
you’re still gonna wake up
so pick yourself up and look up the sky
bid good bye to the swollen eye
the universe is pulling you back
just to bring a new hope of joy
to shoot you forward and up high to fly
