Intensity

For many folks “intensity”

Is an unpleasant trait

They’ve been fooled into thinking that

It means “to be irate”

“To take things far too seriously”

“To make things far too tense”

“To take approach at everything

With anger too immense”

Let me grab my dictionary

Set the record straight

“Intensity” does not have anything

To do with hate

Definition: energy

Great concentration, strength

Vehemence, a high degree

Will go to any length

Depth of feeling and emotion

Action, spirit, thought

No where do I see it written

That it must be fought

Derived from the word “intense”

Which means “acute and strong”

“Very keen and diligent” so

How could that be wrong?

Just how did intensity

Become something so feared?

How did it become something

Avoided, not revered?

How did the intensity

Of great ones from the past

Cease to be an inspiration?

Fade from minds so fast?

How could any person say

“That’s too intense for me?”

After hearing it defined

How could someone not see

That most of the great things accomplished

In the world today

And years gone by is ‘cause they were

Done in an intense way?

Intensity is the key to

Completing every goal

With more than just a weak effort

But giving it some soul

Putting all your concentration

Focus, strength and passion

Into making sure that things

Are done in highest fashion

Taking opportunity

And seizing its potential

Knowing that a high degree

Of energy’s essential

In making sure the job’s done right

The best that you can do

Intensity’s not to be feared

It is not a taboo

It is the lifeblood of the strong

The hard, the ones that care

The warriors whose eyes burn as

Intensely as a flare
