What you got

Think about the ones you’ve never met

All the stories, ideas that you haven’t yet

Had time to appreciate, to comprehend

The genius in words, the people to befriend,

To change your life to a better place, 

To hold your own, and keep your pace,

To just keep living and go with what you got,

 


Chorus:

Go with what you got,

Don’t miss it till your not

Knowing where it is…

So go with what you got,

Speak dreams before they rot,

(Slower) Catch before all the opportunities you see are caught,

 


Keeping on thinking,

Of all the chances missed,

While more slip away, into the abyss,

Swept all over,

Heart getting colder,

Needing a way to break out,

Can’t stop getting older,

Given no shoulder,

To finally, just, let it all out,

 


But when your poised on the corner,

Of chaos and order,

Can’t tell the difference, of,

knowledge and ignorance

Only one way to choose,

And that choice makes all,

Don’t be afraid to reach out,

You don’t have to fall,

Forge your own way,

Don’t carry other’s loads

There’s no way to stray,

From the untrodden road,

 


Chorus:

Just go with what you got,

Don’t miss it till your not

Knowing where it is…

So go with what you got,

Speak dreams before they rot,

(Slower) Catch before all the opportunities you see are caught,

 


It does not matter if you aren’t perfect,

Make do with what you have, it’s all yours

Whoever claims the title doesn’t earn it,

Go with what you got, and your destiny unfolds,

Use opportunities, and with endurance and grit,

You can see what the future holds.

Hi :3

I am Rowan, and I have been writing poems and a few (parts of) short stories. I only just found this site, and it seems pretty amazing, so why not try a post. This is my first post, a poem I made, about what you might be missing when trying to blend in, and how you should forge your own path, and make your own decisions, as only your choices will lead to the future you would like to live in.

Enjoy!

RD
