Until You’re There

Staring at these blank pages

and brick walls and

so many other obstacles to overcome

The challenges pile high before you

until you start to feel

as if there’s no way forward

That’s when you have to start

taking hold of any opportunity,

any idea that flashes in your head

Run with it all

Run until your legs give out

and power through

everything that stands before you

Don’t let yourself get so lost

in what if or why it cannot work

Just find the way that does

and if it doesn’t, go on anyway

The only thing that’s stopping you

is you and your perception

of the challenge that you face

The barriers are big,

but only as big as you let them be

You put in the work,

you’ll find the reward

Just keep going

Don’t slow down to check your pace

Don’t fall victim to distraction

Just find the way and follow

until you’re there
