Draining

I am feeling that the passion in everyone is draining because of the whispers I hear
The whispers tell me more than any faces let you know
The truth is an awkward thing, I fear
I am teaching you this now,
So stop and listen!

The everything of each of us we put into creating this wonderful something
Which others recognize and are therefore magnetized to
Is shrinking ever so slowly by passion unfed
Performances unrewarded
Being taken for granted.

I am taking this moment to talk to you as the captain of this ship, not as a friend.
To you, who is supposed to be a leading figure, leading
My future experiences will echo my prediction
I talk now to try to safe it
Hey! Do you hear?

To prevent a future where you will have lost us, and we will be home elsewhere.
Because we have to chase appreciation, love and kinship, family,
We owe that to ourselves, with what we’ve been through and built.
But most of all, we must chase our passion.
We cannot not
Get it?
Done
