Why Are We so Quick?
Don't give up now.
Why are we so quick
So quick to judge
So quick to assume
It is like we act as if we already know
Without even scraping the surface of the details
Like saying that you know what a book is about by just looking at the cover
Why don't we take that deeper look
Where inside there are colors that paint a sunset
Full of vibrancy that even our language has no words for
But total awe
Why are we so quick to get mad
Do we forget to take a second
To just pause and breathe
To try to understand the little things
Finding that silver lining
Where everything just makes sense
So quickly we take things so personally
But the question is
Would it still matter in ten days from now
Or would that anger just fester and rage
Until every part of you just crumbles
Why are we so quick to walk away
Saying that I can't do that
Or it is too much
But how do we really know
If we never even try
Where is the self-discipline
Where is the will power or even the endurance
To actually say
Yes I can
I can do this and I will
I will try until my bones break
I won't stop fighting until the day rises
Where I can say
I made it
We are stronger then we can even imagine
I see people push and push
Shortly after they decide to quit
And the safest part is
If they fought for just a day longer
The breakthrough would have been right there knocking at the door
So don't give up
Keep your head held high
Swimming for all of your might
Because sooner then you realise
Everything will change
You will be able to look back and say
Yes I made it
So don't be so quick
Take your time and push a little more
Each and every day
