Moving forward

You would be very surprised
At how much a of fool you are.
How much you think you know
About yourself and how little you do.
And not to know seems better
Than to know, because then,
The questions start.
But maybe it is better to get the questions
And to know, however hard it is to hear.
That would be the way life teaches us.
That would would be the way to get better
At what we do.
So hard to do that when things are going just fine.
But you know when it's hard to look in a mirror
That you are wrong. Something is amiss,
And you know what it is.
It's your soul not agreeing with you,
And you want to look at everyone else,
But it's you. You aren't doing
What you you should be doing.
And there are no shortcuts.
You know when you aren't doing them.
The little things, maybe the big things,
In my case, it's the big things.
And you have to make a change,
Not just to please somebody,
But because it will change your whole life.
Do it. You have to do it.
Because not to do it means you will be mired,
In the same old stuff.
I don't want to be stuck in that,
I want to be alive,
I want to enjoy my life,
I want to have my family,
I want to do more things with my life,
While its mine,
And I sure as hell don't want
To be stuck doing what I was,
Which is nothing.
But idleness and confusion and pain.
Move forward, be bolder,
And see what life will bring you.
