The Weight of Words
Mind and Blank Screen Fight
I don't know what to write
Mind and blank screen fight
For words to form and flow
Barriers begin to build and grow
It is not easy to keep dreaming
Practicality keeps on screaming
You can't do this; you are not enough
You are going to fail; it will be too tough
Strength is needed to push forward
Endurance keeps a promise to your word
We must fight past our backpedal
To achieve our version of a gold medal
Saying I will do this is breezy
Doing those things is a tad uneasy
Do not let yourself start to drown
Before you have fallen down
We have to fail and stand back up
Push past the pain and cleanup
It is not our failures that define us
But our ability to learn and focus
