I’m not aiming for dazzling brilliance;
I think is better to be relevant
for a long time rather
than idolised for an instant.
I have far too much to give
to simply burn bright
then fade from existence,
only to be replaced by the next
shining beacon of cool.
What I have learnt over the years
took a long time to acquire,
so it stands to reason
if I want to impart some of this,
it will take time as well.
But don’t let me stop you
from checking out the bright lights.
Once they fade and die,
you’ll be able to see me better anyway.
