What's your excuse ?

workspace-2985783__340.jpg

A story is told when several
Other stories come together
To form a singular tale

A song is not just one song,
It is a thousand other
Songs that come together
To create that one song.

A poem is not just one poem
Sometimes a thousand stanzas
Which can stand on their
Own as poems come together
To from one single poem
.

You are not just 'one'you.
There are a thousand other You's
Which can exist independent of
You but they prefer to come together
To form the You that you are.
Because they all believe they
Can succeed if they are You
