Weight of Expectations

Some days I will to levitate,

But I appreciate my wisdom,

My experiences opens pockets,

I never knew were options to act on,

Every compliment is a contract,

Every praise is a debt,

They say “You got this man”

While piling more “this” on top,

Overflowing,

Sometimes success,

Feels like a trap,

Built out of good intentions,

You just can take back,

What was already created.


“Everyone thinks I’m okay, but…”

I am really just me, I found a method to the madness of the world, and I chose me. I figured out my needs, wants and cravings, and I measure my attitude, patience, discipline and happiness against them and found a path. Everything an obstacle or conflict presents itself I apply the path finder to align myself. If a path is not found or wasn’t ever created, it give myself the grave to admit I don’t know how to maneuver myself and I work on pacing myself to the right path and document the journey to later have a path set for the specific and similar conflict.

Doing all that leaves me less stress, sleep better and I kind a humble smile and happiness for just having life on my face.
