Work harder

Work harder, run faster jump higher. Be better but not too good, run faster but not faster than your superior, jump higher but never fly. Go on in till you limit the rookies like once they limited you, tell them to jump but not to fly, to run but not to be the fastest, to be good but not the best.

Let the years past by you, making 4 feel like 40, and forcing your humanity to abandon you, become not the person that moves on but that moves through. Let you become the sea to work for the sea. Make your father proud and may your mother cry tears of joy.

Let your father Neptune take possession of you and when the world tells you to kneel before it, you must crash down on them, hard, like a tall wave, like the storm that sunk Atlantis, like the tsunami that shuck Japan, do not fall to your knees crying forgiveness. And when the world tells you to move scream back “No, You move!”
