Work Your Demons, Work Yourself

Sleep is but a dream

True rest can only exist

In what we call death

I remain awake

There is much work to be done

Developing skill

Is more important

Than talent ever will be

Skill is earned talent

Independence is

Earned for those who put forth their

Attempts and efforts

To walk down one path

Causes another to be

Abandoned, barren

Choices must be made

To give up lesser leisure

Can give you true peace

Dreams are only dreams

Plans, the blueprints for success

Execute your plans

Procrastination

You deem your tasks not vital

Frustration sets in

There are no scape goats

You are to blame for your faults

Now, forgive yourself

Recognize your faults

Open your eyes to yourself

Realize your greatness

Shame nurtures regrets

Only you can nourish it

Conquer your demon

For hell awaits you

Enter the gates of hades

Consume your demon

You give it power

It is yours to begin with

For your passion burns

The hotter it is

It remains unscathed from hell

Heaven is right there
