The Next Steps
Are you brave enough
to outgrow
that former mold of yours
courageous enough to feel
every bit of discomfort
The embarassment, the failures
from the first
to the nth of your tries
will you-
be comfortable enough
to withstand
all judgments and ridicule
for not making it work
never amounting to anything
But- this is the part
where it gets so sweet
Some may consider it
your grand epic downfall
while others see it
as moment of inspiration
This period of adjustment,
learning, and remolding
To finally emerge
as the one
you have outpictured yourself to be
every night before you sleep
Then be ready and prepped again
to move towards-
the next goal,
the next steps.
