I won’t settle for less

February 10, 2014 | Filed under: Creative Writing, Poetry and tagged with: Amber Sagapolu, I won't settle for less, Poetry

I challenge you to seek faultlessness,
impeccable purity, maturity, and wholeness.
I dare you to balance reason and divine assurance.
I oblige you to maintain sanity, stability, and normality.
I require your active presence, prolonged compassion, and merciful humanity.
I demand intention, ambition, and aspiration.
I object to incidental mishap, stray opportunities, and inflicted misery.
I refuse to suffer setbacks, tragedy, annoyance, and adversity.
I decline to live in solitude, slavery, and captivity.
