Poetry

Below is Matthew's text in the original form it was received.

---

the ups and downs

the nonstop and the crickets

the delicate balance between inspiring

and cracking the whip

the tough of letting go of control

and knowing when to take it back

exposure is good

but get any more over exposed

and wind up in jail for public indecency

always be prepared and ready

for any and everything

that’s what luck is

break even

break the bank

stretch daily

and you won’t snap

work harder

then work smarter

then keep working hard

take breaks

big breaths

refresh you

enjoy the ride

work together

and

rely on you

want it

really really really really

want it

or go do something else
