The Hourglass

 

"Last, but by no means least, courage—moral courage, the courage of one's convictions, the courage to see things through. The world ; is in a constant conspiracy against the brave. It's the age-old struggle--the roar of the crowd on one side and the voice of your; conscience on the other."

The Same Problem

For the same problem I kept on pestering myself, always repeating the question over and over again.
The previous problem was still there, and the answer was right in front of me.
But...because of my hesitancy,
I was afraid to go after it.
Why?

I was too easily influenced by others, and could not direct myself.
It was them who had power over me, and for my cowardice and weakness, I simply could not take it back.
My mind no longer listened to my heart, for it was powerless.
When I receive a new debatable point,
I continually reject the helpful suggestions and ideas,
resulting in agitation and confusion, tipping over the poor balance of my entire world.

Many things are right observed from several different angles,
for none were wrong.
All it mattered was for you to choose the one and only path for you to walk.

Or perhaps you should find a natural and quiet place for you to unwind and reorganize
and give yourself some stimulation,
so you would be able to grow and thrive.
Fear not the thoughts of others about you and ignore the temptations of blending with others.

Live up to yourself. Become you.
