Poetry

You have

What it takes to make things happen, but you let so much hold you back.

But now and then, something wakes you up, and you get moving so fast that you don’t question it but absorb it all.

Because you don’t know if this will happen again, losing your voice three times was enough for you.

And now that it’s back, you can’t let go of the thread holding it together right now.

So you write until your fingers hurt, then you write some more until your filled up with joy and accomplishment.

And the taste of being something for once is addicting that you don’t want to go back to the feeling of being behind and lost.

So as you soar for the first time, you smile and share your joy as your success becomes someone else and continues like the circle of life.
