There is one thing
I say
When I get up
On my soapbox
Figure out one thing
In this life
Just one thing
Is all you need
Figure out
Who
The
FUCK
You are!
Yes
You must be
True to yourself
BUT
To be able to do so
You must know
Who you are
Spend
The
Time
Figure out who you are
What you need
What you want
Keep it in mind
Only then
You can be honest
And true
To yourself
– James Dubeau
Made it out for a run
In the pre-dawn dark
Clad in gloves and tights
Reclaiming my warmth
Fogged breath escaped my lips
The sun rose around me
Illuminating the sky
With brilliant hues
While I kept running
Step
After
Step
Slowly increasing pace
Footfalls in time
With thumping music
In my ears
Faster
Faster
Faster
Running for life
Running to live
Bright beautiful day
For once
Is ahead
Of
Me
– James Dubeau
