I don’t know how
to start this
poem

lately
so much has been going on
or
so much hasn’t been going
on
that I can’t seem to find
the time to write

but that’s a lie
I have the time
I just don’t have the
will

I’m afraid of reaching the
highest height I can achieve
I fear I wrote the greatest
thing I’ll ever write
months ago
and
it’ll never be the same
I can never be
greater

but that’s a lie
I have the talent
I just don’t have the
will

I look around
as if someone is
watching me do
this

writing out all my
fears
spelling out all my
dreams
understanding what’s really going
on

I take off my watch
there’s no need for time
here

just work
and through that
I will get past this

I will emerge from
the mist
to see a new mountain for me to climb
and the path that I will use to conquer
it
