Linger

They aren’t headed in your direction

Neither can they sense what you see ahead

Yet they’re the very people criss-crossing,

hissing, criticizing and distracting

rage on, raging bull

and when you grow weary and feel like giving up

linger a little longer

sometimes, what it takes to win

is the patience to ignore the noise

to fix your gaze on the ultimate goal,

lingering a little longer
