it's getting close
to understood
it's never too late 
to burn wood
the fire's stoked
getting intense
all's on the line
my due diligence

I wanna be used
a viable implement
a tool
to others out
considered a fool
determined now
to get it right
finding out how
to successfully fight

it's getting hard
for me to let go
how I got this far
the process was slow
got wind of more
than I bargained for
being prepared
for what's in store
