More Than Just Exposure

More than just exposure.
My needs are to connect.
There is no flattery blinding me.
My mission is totally circumspect.

Prudent are my movements.
Precise are the intentions meant.
Forward is my pace.
Whatever it takes...
To replace the commonness,
Of accepted waste.

More than just exposure.
My needs are to connect.
There is no flattery blinding me.
My mission is totally circumspect.
Totally I choose to remain focused,
On what it is I must do next.
To afford that progress.
No matter the difficulty of those steps.

One affected with a purpose,
Is challenged by obstacles...
That allows little time,
Found to rest and reflect.
