Figure Encased

The Boss is Embossed

By Joseph SeveroPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

“Figure encased

-the boss is embossed-

It would be a shame if the player had lost

‘cause of impatience or due to remaining the same;

Truly the training was not all in vain,

but that being said, you should switch up your ways:

Do not fail, become dated or stale;

Don’t trick yourself that you’ll pale from a past iteration;

Focus on what you are doing, it provides vindication

-Just do what you love, let yourself do it well;

Don’t get in your head, or it will start to swell or deflate;

Self-esteem will degrade

-and please don’t berate, castigate, or discourage;

Just know that you’re worthy:

You have the mind - all this takes time -

So continue the grind with the shine in your eye -

Perservere ‘til you’re fine.”
