A Simply Hard Decision
November 2, 2018
A Hard Decision
this seems to be.
Should I become
what my friends want...
or what I want?
A Simple Decision
this seems to be...
but to me
this case is a hard one to crack:
Music is a motor,
what keeps me moving forward.
"Once a drummer -
always a drummer,"
I say to reassure myself.
Video games are my second motor.
The balance between the two
keep me afloat.
But what happens
if one of runs out of fuel?
Do I distribute my gas
to keep both motors spinning?
Or do I dedicate to one
and hope it's enough...?

When I was younger, I dreamed of being a professional drummer. I still do, and I've been playing for two years now. My friends were all dedicated to video games, and they always played together. I wanted to do that too, but I also wanted to spend most of my time on drums. I chose drumming, though I still manage to fit in a couple video game matches with my friends every once in a while. I found the balance between the two, and it's kept me afloat since then.
