Keep on Going

Keep on Going

Each word, so easy to find, when I started out

Now each one is hidden, concealed in doubt.

You'd put your name on this? Is this good enough?

Yearning for quality, to cut out the fluff.

Will this be a tome? Untouched on a shelf.

Will this be inspired? An expression of self.

Good things will come to those who can wait

How can I do good if I can't be great?

I lay on this bed, a four-legged cage.

Too sick to get up, but burning with rage.

How can I win? When inside I'm at war.

I'm blaming myself, I could have done more.

How do they see it? Entitlement, laziness, impatience.

Expecting the fates to save me, hindered by my complacence.

Kill that thought now, it'll do me no good.

Stand on my own, that is my adulthood.

Cast off that doubt, that unease, that's the key.

The only man who stands in the way, is me.

How can I help? Please give me a task.

Adapt my approach? You need only ask.

I won't let you down, if you give me a chance

If not, I'll keep looking, move forward, advance.

I'll keep on going, until my back brakes.

They won't be in doubt, I have what it takes.

At the end of the tunnel, you are my light.

My reason to climb, to keep burning bright.

I won't let this sorrow consume me again.

Still hope in my life, as there was back then.

Together once more, our joy overflowing

For now, I'll stay humble, and keep on going.
