Reality Check

Life is tough. You can take that

to the bank. I can’t tell you how

many ships I sank. Moving forward

takes energy. Taking action pulls

you from relaxation. We see what

we want to see. We believe what

we perceive. Life is like small raft

moving fast in a vast ocean. Motion.

Constantly trying. It can be tiring.

This journey comes without warning.

Each day, we learn something new.

Ain’t no way we all know what to do.

The crashing waves teach us how to

behave. Some of us can’t be saved.

Today, or tomorrow, you just might

receive an important reality check.

You best cash it before the clock

ticks zero, before there is nothing left.
