No, It’s Not
6/22/14
It’s not what you know
It’s how you learned it
It’s not where you go
It’s how you got there
It’s not when you arrive
It’s how you showed up
It’s not who you’re with
It’s whom you avoid
It’s not age that matters
It’s the wisdom of your years
It’s not how much you have
It’s how much you let go
It’s not the money
It’s the comfort
It’s not how you live
It’s how you overcome
It’s not the street that matters
It’s the direction you drive
It’s not always the same
It’s always the same game
It’s not notches in your bedpost
It’s how well you sleep at night
It’s not the hike that beats you
It’s the woods that get you lost
It’s not the flavor in the food
It’s the time you take to savor
It’s not the last thing you do in the day
It’s the first thing you think in the morning
It’s not the amount of hours you work
It’s the value of the time you’ve spent
It’s not how many people are around you
It’s who can’t live without you
It’s not the beat you’re playing
It’s the passion behind your music
It’s not the places you’ve been
It’s the places you feel at home
It’s not about having a light on when you get there
It’s about the warmth of the love inside you
It’s not a matter of time
It’s a matter of patience
It’s not the color of your skin
It’s knowing everyone is your kin
It’s not the peaks you climb
It’s the valleys you look down upon
It’s not the thrill of the hunt
It’s the hunted that kill your inside
It’s not the pictures you take with your camera
It’s the images emblazoned in your mind
It’s not the person you fall in love with
It’s the timing of when you met one another
It’s not winning that matters
It’s matter that wins the most
It’s not the Far East
It’s to the West too
It’s not about your culture
It’s the culture of your economy
It’s not the horse you’re riding
It’s how you treat it while you’re riding
It’s not the distance you cover
It’s the cover you need to distance yourself
It’s not how smart you are now
It’s how smart you’ve become
It’s not winning in the end
It’s ending the win with empathy
It’s not who’s on your team
It’s who’s in your corner
It’s not how many hours you’ve practiced
It’s the hours you practiced well
It’s not how well you know me
It’s…well…you know me
It’s not a wishing well
It’s well-wishers that foretell
It’s not the clothes you wear
It’s the wear in your clothes
It’s not the people you’ve met
It’s the people you can’t forget
It’s not the loss of love that hurts most
It’s the hurt of losing yourself
It’s not the direction you’re going
It’s directing those who’ve lost their way
It’s not what you say to me
It’s what I decide to hear
It’s not what you write
It’s who you show your writings
It’s not about death
It’s deathly scary not to live
It’s not time to end
It’s time to move on
It’s never me
It’s always we
