MEDUSA'S HAIR
Drifting sorrows of past fantasy I despair
That wound around my brain
All the confusion of Medusa's hair
When pulling on a strand
And thinking the end in sight
I curse aloud
When all I find is knots both left and right
But think me not downward cast
For if one was to look upon this plight
From an angle of a slightly different side
They would see
“Let not a trivial bit of subterfuge
Blind thee from thy path”
But put your heart and soul
And your very being into going on
Not to dally on some problem of the moment
Meant for some other to solve
But to travel on
And show the existence of a road
For all to follow
But put no false meaning upon my words
That trail you blaze must be true
True to the heart of the word
It must be as true as its brightest dream
That dream is the dream
Of all who accept a commitment to tomorrow
Out as far as the mind can reach
You must reach
As far as the soul can soar
You must soar
As long as your being has life
You must be
Be as you are
Whether that be stumbling, running or walking
Whether it be failing or succeeding
Winning or losing
That is you
And you are here for a reason
So have faith my friends
Faith in your dream
