Reasons To Wake Up Early
Goal gamesmanship attitude centering
winner style graceful failures entering
lessons to be passed to my head
learning them now, with a future instead
the complicated silly nature of a game
first place or last ongoing just the same
foolish misdirected past, wasted 20 years gone
this is my life now that I have drawn
found an interest to shape into a calling
self taught disciplined, still sprawling
a million thoughts to none and go
rhythm swinging talent inside out to grow
advise from every conceivable angle
bodies differentiated adjustments tangle
academic testing hopeful prevailing situation
it may sound like it, but it's no vacation
once a weekend hacker and a sprayer
the psychology of an experienced player
persistently committed and driven
impossible pathway and hardly a given
