Greatness is invasive when it comes and
bewildering when it runs from us.
Do you know what it is to be caught in the draught
of destiny, for it to summons you unsolicited down a path contorted and
twisted? Yet you lack the willpower to resist it? Do you know what it is to feel
as if you are owed because of what it showed and promised to shower you with if
you would only take time to develop your gift? Have you ever sat for days
pondering its maze, wondering how you got in and how you will emerge?
What moreover do you do when you are seized
by its urge, which compels you to walk because your heart is stirred though
your vision is blurred? How many nights have you been prone to fight with
yourself, to question your sanity and health because you couldn’t let go though
it was squeezing you to death? While others lose themselves in pleasures and
pursuits easily obtained, how do you handle that sense of shame that comes
because what they consider fun frustrates you?
How often in your heart have you silently
accused them of being lazy and yourself of being crazy because you wanted to
live a life beyond amazing? Have you ever wondered why it yet lingers and digs
its fingers into your pores until it makes sores on your soul? In doing so, you
routinely make oaths and inevitably write odes, shaking your head because not
even half has been told because no one wants to listen to someone imprisoned by
what they are free from. So much that even yourself you often shun, even as you
wonder, “God, what have I done!”
So many questions and not enough answers...makes you think!
