Concentration
by Tyler Hix

To not be distracted by friend nor foe,
Brings thoughts that make your single topic flow,
To stay aboard,
It's all in your thoughts of the long and narrow road.
To not be distracted by friend nor foe,
Concentration.

To not be distracted by temptation,
Easily motivated to complete by ambition,
To keep on pushing through the fight with dedication,
It's all in your thoughts to no burst into confusion,
To not be distracted by temptation.
Concentration.

To not be distracted by internal battles,
The slightest thought can cause your thoughts to rattle,
To achieve one thing and not pop like kettle,
It's all in your thoughts to continue the thoughts by pulling from a single petal,
Concentration.

To not be distracted by friend nor foe,
Brings thoughts that make your single topic flow,
To stay aboard,
It's all in your thoughts of the long and narrow road,
To not be distracted by friend nor foe,
Concentration.
