OFF THE BLOCKS

From the inside out

OFF THE BLOCKS

I am on a quest 
Not to seek out new frontiers 
Or to align myself with billionaires 

I have no desire of becoming a mastermind 
To create a new invention 
Or organized crime 

I am on a quest of rebuilding myself 
Putting together those pieces 
That has been left on the shelf 

Like my pride that was lost
When I saw you with your new love
And my self esteem 
That has drifted down stream 

My smile has been seized 
By bitter tears 
But I will keep searching 
Until my laughter is redeemed 

I know it won't be easy 
It may take months or years 
But a failed marriage 
Is not the end of my journey 

Love of self
Has already brought me 
To a place of happiness 
Our failed marriage has never experienced 

I AM ON A QUEST.

Wilford Barker.

The title SCREAMS desire , as you’re not wanting to be where you are and your motivated like an Olympian runner to takeoff on this new journey ! The subtitle really validates your exposing yourself and by doing so you are acknowledging and accepting your current feelings and differentiating yourself from where you are to where you know you want to be and I find comfort in that because it goes to show you are not dwelling or playing the victim . I ran track in high-school and cross country and know the discipline it requires and there’s a ton of strategy to using your energy when it’s most beneficial. I think you wanted those parallels to bleed through as you know as much as e would like to feel better overnight and move on ( sprint/ months )
you are accepting that it could be a marathon (years)  either way you are willing to put in the work . Yes indeed you are on a quest , I feel like I’m on the track with you in the next lane , this is a race you don’t mind seeing your buddy get to the finish-line first :) .
