How Often?

How often

Do we soften?

Leave our dreams behind

And succumb to the little pigmy in our mind

Aspirations trying to rebut

Sacrifices made for a mundane rut

How often

Do we soften?

And don’t even know

What destiny has to bestow

Why do we not tread a path?

Merely fearing the aftermath

How often

Do we soften?

And lose it all

For the basic fear of a fall

How are we different then from the rest?

Who are averse to striving for the best…

How often

Do we soften?

And turn minor debacles

In to insurmountable shackles

What would it take to finally break free?

And explore the realms of possibility…..

How often

Do we soften……….how often?
