Take a chance
obsessed with success..
it fills you with stress,
you're always thinking
you're less fortunate
which is a torturous habit,
if you think you need it
you'll never have it
so take a chance
and just reach for it,
take a chance and
leap towards it
the reward is yours to claim,
dont drive yourself insane clinging to the idea of fame though,
don't obsess over making your name known,
don't obsess over the fear of being alone
and don't be afraid to let your sadness
be shown
own all that you feel,
recognize what's real
and what's illusory
and if there's even a difference.

Don't apologize, Hunt...
this piece has real quality...
holds together and with remarkable clarity...
if this is the result of you hermiting for a while...well...
damn if you didn't make a superior piece ...
and espousing a worthwhile philosophy, no less..
Ya done good, kid... hugs, Ely
