Keep On Keeping On

In the way you say
In the shape and in the form
In no uncertain terms
Even if it falls exactly as you feared
Crushing expectations    A black and blue juggernaut
Bulldozing some hope of you who are born into here
You may suffer some    You will never not
But you will always ease over    Get through
Because decisive defeats don’t exist here
If you’re breathing on this planet
Do you understand the time it is here?
It’s the rebeginning moment    The reset hit
Your appetite for all of it returning
So begin your breathing the way it was
Before the hammer fell
Maybe nailing you A perfect blow
But only momentarily stunning
Do you see it? 
Your limbs and mental faculties still intact
You’re the lizard tail lost    Ready to grow again
Slipping your new skin into this novel chapter
Of a fat volume life to be consumed in its entirety
Regardless of how many dreams may die
There are so many more    An endless supply
Granted at birth    You to traverse this earth
Always in the game that only ends that last moment
The art of seeing your way through
Perhaps peeking when you can
Above any walls for an overview
Of a maze’s possibilities    Right routes to run
Survival of the optimists who say
Until the days run out
The next one’s a brand new day
So you say
