The individual drops of sweat
each represent a small piece
of your former self.
How much longer
before you are the person
you promised to be?
Your muscles tremble,
under the weight of change,
have you forgotten?
I know it has been so long
since you were a child
but growth has always
demanded pain
and it is time you pay.

The individual drops of sweat
each represent a small piece
of your former self.
How much longer
before you are the person
you promised to be?
Your muscles tremble,
under the weight of change,
have you forgotten?
I know it has been so long
since you were a child
but growth has always
demanded pain
and it is time you pay.
