I think I am about to bounce back...
And that can mean a few things depending on the person. I could be waking up from a deep slumber... or about to close these curtains... I stay flirting... ;) but still, I think I'm about to bounce back. Have you ever felt like something amazing was about to happen, just submerged in this bliss of an "I can make it/I can do this" - ish moment? Yes! For a moment, you believed! You felt like you'd make it no matter what! No matter what came. No matter the pain. Just ready for whatever, then here came... whoever... talking that shit. Asking if you're sure about this. Asking you to do it their way... Asking you to hear what they say. And what they say is what everybody is saying. But you never wanted to do what everyone else is doing. So, you keep pursuing the goal at hand, but a little bit more cautious... Because they doubted your plan. Their doubt became yours. You just inherited their closed doors. And in exchange you get to remain close. You get to toast to staying in the same place and doing the same things. And they'll be the Tails to you, Sonic.... getting all your missed rings. I'm about to bounce back like Sonic after a spin charge. Right before the dash. Holding the down arrow and pressing on the C button. Don't let them hold you back. Don't let them stop you from touching... your dreams. You've been reaching for a reason. Reaching towards the sky and stretching. They know once you've stretched you won't be on their level. That's why we must surround ourselves with people who only want better. But not just better for themselves... Sometimes we have to go through things. We have to go through cycles. We have to hold different titles. We have to be other people. Just to notice how regal... we really we were from the beginning. Pass on your open doors. Pass on on your scars. And not your sores. Pass on what has healed. And not wounds that you allow to remain open. Pass on your hope and motivation. Show people how to bounce back. You know, like in rotation? We get higher, we get hired. I'm bout to bounce back. I'm bout to go shake sum on an island. I'm bout to wake up every day smiling. And a million and half people can tell me I'm wilding. But I WILL NOT. I won't stop believing. In me. Ever. Again. Believing in my worth. Believing in my love. Believing in my mind. Believing in my faith. Before a bullet leaves a gun's barrel, Before it travels through the bore, Before it escapes... There is a RECOIL. Best explained by (as the textbooks say) "Newton's Third Law" [I've have yet to research who may have really discovered this, but anyway] For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Sometimes there is a jolt, a setback, a push before we are launched. But it's time to bounce back. Faith Underwood |
