I knew from birth my youth
was a form of currency
every second a penny
each minute a dime
the hours were nickels
days became dollars
and it all devalued
as time marched on
I obsessed over deadlines
I could never meet
comparing my stacks
my resume facts against
others who invested
far more wisely than me
you have to specialize
focus
set distractions aside
focus
choose a life
focus
to do anything exceptional
to be anyone exceptional
if life is a highway
then I drift across lanes
if I come to the crossroads
I stall at the junction
I circle my chances
I load up my arms
with all life can give me
and everything tumbles
shatters on the ground
and I start again
and I start again
and I start again
