GRAPES

If I Die Old

If I die old,

I hope to look

back on my life

with a sense

of gratitude

to have been

fortunate enough

to live that long.

I will be humbled

by the grace

bestowed upon me.

A chance that so many

are not afforded.

Growth

People change.

And they don't

need your

permission to

do it.

Purpose

I would rather

stand for

something than

stand for nothing.

Dream Big

If people aren't

telling you your

dreams are crazy,

then you're not

dreaming big enough.

Crazy doesn't

mean impossible.

Failure

I would rather

have tried

and failed

than to fail

to have tried.

Second Chances

I think it's best you go.

You're no longer a friend of mine

but a foe.

And your presence here

pains me so.

You're like John Doe.

I don't know

who you are anymore.

Too many times

we've been here before.

You say sorry,

I take you back.

The cycle goes on.

I just can't keep on anymore.

Your second chances

have come and gone.

I'm moving on.

I won't accept

anymore apologies.

Something's gotta give.

But it ain't up to me.

This isn't the way

I want to live.

I don't want

things to remain

as they be.

I remember you said,

you'd always be

there for me.

But you never

lived up

to the deed.

I was always there

for your rescue.

But for me,

you never

showed up

on cue.
