Friends who earn sympathy
live off your future.
They feed on potential
leaving you broke
in a solitary space
alone.
To claim
the bounty
of trying
lies
in not trying,
is to be right
in just
the wrong way.
"Why would you try
anyway?"
They'll say,
"This is where you'll go wrong,
this is why you have no chance,
and here
is what I think."
Don't fall
for illusions
of safety
and peace
in comfort;
beware
of the price
you'll pay.
