What will be the legacy?

Remind me who I am on days
that wear me down to beaten stubs;
reducing me to work unpaid
or drink alone instead of pubs.

It's in that moment before I reach
for hardware or glassware, just take my hands
and tell me you understand why each
feel intrinsic to my growing brand,

but need not, and should not, and cannot ensue
if I want to be remembered for the art I pursued,
not the business, the indulgence; get back to what's true!
Remind me my legacy's in all that I do.
