Getting there

drifting away
into your own spotlight
and shining so bright
it amazes you
and the next day will be even better
getting there
inch by inch
centimeter by centimeter
and yous
are no longer is plain sight
rather in hindsight
learning not to look back
getting there
with ease
and praise
and the true meaning of loving oneself
is you rely on no one
for your happiness
a wise man knows nothing lasts forever
and forever might as well be called infinity
and time might as well be 'bad"
because it only points in one direction
getting there
and missing all "free throws"
on purpose
for the purpose of yourself
