Steely Eyed

Focus. It's so hard to find. A steely eyed glare to the future to chase a dream that should have been a reality years ago. And that thin line, which is like a slither between one life and another, that if it manages to slice a little wider, and the shimmer gets a little brighter, will swallow you up and close over and in an instance you've gone from standing on a centuries old street, to a state of being that you've seen every day for your entire life. It's funny when you try and take control of your own destiny. And remind yourself that you need to run the whole way and not stop until you reach the top. And find yourself gasping for air but looking out on something that many only dream of.
