There it is 

That thing that’s been waiting

Though you’ve avoided that place–

Putting it off for way too long.

That voice inside is steadily on the rise,

And so is your adrenaline.

Deep down, you’ve figured that this is–

A necessary battle

It’s like you can see the triumph in your eyes,

But the fear of comfort–

Is claiming that you won’t survive.

Nonetheless, all that doubt should be laid to rest

Throw it aside, because now is the time

Now is the time to just go and be all in,

But forget it though,

If some sort of a guaranteed return–

Is what you’re expecting

That’s Dreamland for you.

There, you can go out on a limb

And allow yourself to jump

On a wing and a prayer;

To make the heart grow fonder

To the perils of your passion 

So go ahead, cross on over–

And embrace the dark side of commitment 

And yeah, it’s a burning platform,

But your steps will seem unfazed.

Anyways, the world has always shown–

Nothing but love, remembering the rebels

So prove

That you’re the best devil that you know

Never fail to push yourself forward,

To take the road not taken; 

Be relentless on that path,

Timeless,

Something smooth, like a Vintage Pioneer.

Then, try to wander–

And lose yourself in the mix of it, completely 

That’s the epiphany–

Of gaining clarity amid uncertainty 

If anything, it’s all about the strength

And artfulness of your thoughts

So be about it, make it happen

And watch those daring efforts one day turn–

Into infinite, great stories

Be your own spark-plug, and let come what may,

Perhaps, you’ve never heard–

The homie Bukowski say,

“If you’re gonna do it, do it all the way”

It’s then and only after, that–

“You’ll ride life straight to perfect laughter”

Just know that you gotta play

And never be afraid to fulfill your sport,

Because inside you lives an unstoppable force,

One which is better–

Than Magic and Jordan in the backcourt. 

Let these seconds define who

And what you really are,

To see if you’re really with–

That grace under pressure

If so, then tap into the capsule of that winter air,

And you’ll come to find

That your distinctive flare–

Will always flame; warming bright–

The harsh days and bitter nights.

So walk into the beat which is right now

And trust that it will lead you down a road– 

To where your tomorrows

Will consist of better todays.

Because believe it or not,

The worth of life is gathered–

In one blissful thing:

To just follow your damn heart

…

Now that’s the Ambitious Way of Living.
