Legacy.
A little word with gargantuan meaning.
People on this earth currently pressing play.
While others has their legacy on pause.
With those wishing for a rewind or a fast forward feature.
Stop. You must continue with your future.
What defines this word called Legacy?
It's a mixture of variables you see.
With work, emotion and cause to name a few.
Multiple bricks you create to build a foundation.
Created with your own hands from your times wandering the nation.
Some legacies are filled with heroic tales going from zero to hero,
Others read about a lost soul that got engulfed into eternal damnation.
Stories with empowering heroics and dastardly deeds,
Filled with colorful details as audience continue to read.
When you beat your final beat...what would your legacy be as the book is shut?
Will it read about someone that made something or just ran a muck?
A Champion or another Big Bust?
Things may not be ordeal but this isn't a permanent chapter in your autobiography.
As you continue breaking down barriers for all those readers to see.
Going through changes mixed with trials and tribulations.
Pushing your outer limits amongst the unbelievable.
Make yourself memorable; as not an ass-kisser but an ass-kicker.
The one that got things done while engulfing a Snickers.
Someone that was into their line of work and made a name out of their craft.
Chopping wood, driving trucks or even breaking opponents in half.
The world may be pretty sad but there are some happy people.
Building, washing, writing, driving, thinking, creating.
Releasing bright auras and workings to this dim surface.
As they continue on their path to rise above the surface.
Inspiring others to do the same; if not better.
Your legacy is looking more in tune than a tacky Christmas sweater.
Fearing nothing and taking chances on tables where the odds are slim.
Yet you are strong and will not fall down to this strong wind.
A legacy can last a lifetime or it can be cut short.
No one knows when their legacy is on their last breath.
But when yours is finished...will your legacy be read or will it stay on the shelf?
Cheers!
