So close
And yet so far
We strive for perfection but fall short
The world is cruel
And we are but the pawns of fate
The winds of time wash over us
And wear us down
Until we are nothing but bones
We are not forever
Nothing we do is forever
We leave no marks on time
Because to time we are as nothing
There are always more pawns
So perfection is an illusion in our minds
We strive to make ourselves
What we think we should be
There is always something better to be had
To become
Look into a still pool and all you see is stagnating water
Time does not stand still
All things move
All things grow
All things change
Change is perfection
We are perfect because we have the ability to change
And when we lose that ability
We are no more
Time does not have patients for those that do not change
So change with the time
And leave your mark
It may inspire another to embrace the truth
To stop and think that nothing stays the same
To take the chance
To dream
For dreams are born not of deep though
But of a spark of emotion that can’t be explained
Those who dream, dream wide
Dream big
Dream often
A dream can change
Attain it
Or change it until it is attained
Don’t think
Don’t calculate
Just be
A pawn can lead a life that it controls
