I wrote this piece a couple years ago during a very dark time in my life and a time when I realized I had to stop scrapping things or doubting myself because one thing didn't go my way. I titled it after a Lupe Fiasco song that inspires me that "even if they cut the lights out" (aka things do not go my way) the show goes on. The message to myself in this is still relevant to me each and every day of my life. Several people have suggested I get this printed and mounted somewhere in my home. Hopefully I remember to do that one day.
"The Show Goes On"
Something went wrong.
Something did not go as planned.
Something happened unexpectedly.
Something did not happen at all.
Something happened too little.
Something happened too much.
Only ONE something is the variable.
However, it seems it was connected to everything.
Now what?
Knock everything down.
Empty everything out.
Cut everything off.
Turn everything upside down.
Forget about everything.
All bets are off.
Nothing makes sense.
Nothing is good enough.
Nothing works.
Nothing is right.
Nothing is wrong.
Nothing will do.
Enough is enough.
Maintain as much as you can.
Love as much as you can.
Live as much as you can.
Dream as much as you can.
Pray as much as you can.
Smiles as much as you can.
Do as much as you can.
Try as much as you can.
