Poem: Mantra

[jakebe]

Random.

Mantra
Head down.
Keep one foot in front of the other.
Keep your nose to the grindstone, mate.
Don't look up.
Don't
look
up.
You've got to keep focused.
Focus is what gets you places,
not the Dream.
Don't look up.
Don't look at what he's doing.
Don't pay attention to anyone else
lest you fall to despair.
Keep your mind on what you're doing.
You've got to keep focused.
It's the only way you'll make it.
Don't pay any attention
and above all
don't try to live.
You're not very good at it.
That's the reason
you're a writer
in the first place.
