“Just get it done.”, I say it a lot

No one seems to listen

It’s not difficult to plot

Look at the thing, what needs to be done?

Don’t overthink it

Simply look how it’s run

I’ve been doing this for others since I was a child

I’ve had it by now

Can I stop for awhile?

When you ask me to help you, I finish it fast

When I ask you

It’s too hard of a task?

Is it because you don’t see things as clearly as me?

The whole, not the parts?

The spaces between?

How can I explain it, teach it to you

Calm down and look

It's not that hard to do

I hear and acknowledge all the woes that you face

Life still marches on

It's a parade, not a race

So put one foot forward and the other besides

Don't fret and don't falter

Keep steady your strides

For we'll end up there one day, regardless of how

If you can't dig in your heels

Then get off of the plow
