This Prize

Resistance to change the path recognized as destiny
Emotions tied to the steps I take
Like threads connecting the earth
Forever linked to positivity
Eternally associated with optimistic thoughts
Like a shield deflecting all burdens of negativity
Seeking the brightness of the universe
The vision of attaining it limitlessly dwells by soul
Yet it does not make my eyes cloudy
It does not create dissonance from reality
For reality is what we witness it to be
Time never stands still yet it always seem to directionless
Positivity of my past fuels more of the future
This beautiful cycle which shall never cease as time never does
The prize I wish to obtain shall be in my amidst
My thoughts shall find a way to bring it even more so in my grasp
The prize is worth the journey for it shall change and renew me
The prize is not a materialistic object but what shall be gained
Gained not in merit but in self-worth
Self-worth is what all humans strive to get
But can it be truly attained while we continue our attachments to our vices?
Therefore to cleanse the mind is to find positivity
For positivity is the only virtue that can cancel out its opposing partner
To feel life with a sense not that it will end
But that it would continue endlessly
To be one with one's self is to eliminate fear and criticism
Only those who can see negativity from within themselves
Can have the power to induce the ripple effect in others
But beauty can only be seen in your own self
If it can be accepted in others
So the path I take shall leave engravings on myself
If I let only positivity reign then the vision can become mine.
