Risen and waiting for you to take heed.
The lonely, bitter sole you dared to feed.

Today marks your future, your present, and past.
A graceful purpose you must amass.

Gifted or not, there's no consideration.
If you whittle your time and fall to damnation.

Face forward, stand straight, slouch you will not.
Strength is your integrity with all you've been taught.

As heroes fall rapidly with no motivation or truth.
So will your false sustain of an imperfect youth.

Rise up and be counted, stand graceful, yet tall.
Learn the lessons of others or repeat their fall.

Your path is negotiated by your own limitations.
Swaddling the shadow of miserable complacence.

Realization pilfered with foolish pride.
Cowering to life in your proverbial ringside.

You have teetered too long, and your time is now near.
You must accept and challenge your internal fears.

Grab the reins and lace them up tight.
It's now time to dance in your one-man fight.

With victory at hand, it's the one true way.
To keep yourself stable and out of the fray.

You have mastered all of your internal strife.
Prepared for the challenges and pleasures in life.

Take what you've learned and pass on your lessons.
Offering happiness, hope and peaceful impressions.
