Dear Self,
This is a poetic song inspired by the acoustic version of The Smashing Pumpkins hit song "Tonight, Tonight" performed by Billy Corgan.
How you see yourself matters.
Time deceitfully flatters.
When opportunity knocks on the door,
Handle things differently than before.
The quilled tip makes words dance across the page.
Brokenhearted despair steals the spotlight on center stage.
Wet ink dries faster when pain pours from the heart.
Why has everything fallen apart?
Perhaps, each moment of anguish was training for now.
Fear cannot stand in the ring with Manny Pacquiao.
Bravery grows by standing still through hardships that set sail.
Voyages of infliction steal breathe from each exhale.
Tonight, courage and self-confidence prevail.
These virtues cannot be bought wholesale.
Hard work doesn’t move the attribute scale.
Be patient praying for wisdom while discerning each detail.
Relax. Calm down and slowly inhale.
