Fuel For The Soul

A drop of rain in a desert where I sought pleasure and pain
All those years that bought extra time for change
Endure and survive
Ensure arrival

Proving yourself to others is fuel for ego
Proving something to yourself is fuel for the soul

Climbing a mountain of mixed emotions
Swimming in a sea of thoughts
You don’t drown by falling in the water
But by overstaying your welcome
If it makes it easier
You can always chew before you swallow your pride
