“do it, just do it already”,

i want to so badly.

instead i am sitting,

watching others do it gladly.

–

“come on, you can do it”,

my voice becomes kinder.

encouraging to take the leap,

but failure flashes as a reminder.

–

everything in me wants to,

but there’s 1% that holds me back.

repeat, “mind over matter”,

i’m getting on the right track.

–

burying 1% is draining,

it feels like it’s all.

but that’s where the zone tricks you,

it builds up a wall.

–

a wall so tall you can’t peep over,

you wish to see? you must knock it down.

uncertainty seems to scare most,

don’t be like those who are okay to drown.

–

instead hold belief.

keep learning and don’t give up.

sooner or later, you will find,

you have enough to fill your cup.

–

“i did it. i just did it!!”,

could be what you hear.

so push yourself a little further,

and your dreams could be near.

–

it’s okay to do it scared.

it’s okay to want to cry.

some times we don’t succeed,

atleast you gave it a try.

–

but don’t stop just there,

give it another go.

learn from mistakes and believe in yourself,

success might be closer than you know.
