A two syllable word with multiple meanings
so sit back and read as each stanza elevates to a higher degree
Degree 1
Following the norm, since the day you were born
your parents save up for you to go to college and get that degree
in hopes of a world presenting opportunities for you to unwrap
but it’s not as simple as that
because it’s not a guaranteed fact that everyone’s path is going to lead them to a degree
What may be a right decision for me,
may not be for you
because unseen circumstances can happen and a dream for satisfaction
has the ability of quickly greeting you
but letting you know for sure it emphatically left…
Leaving you to spend the rest of your life trying to recover the missing pieces
so you can put yourself back together
If only puzzles were simple (sigh)
Degree 2
The degrees continue to drop but I can still sense a
calmness beyond the winters whirlwind
Degree 3
Burning and permanently
leaving an external reminder of the pain
never leaving you the same but even though it went 3rd degree deep
it’ll never steal your brave heart and resilient mindset to face the world everyday
