Hesitantly, you turn
the page
crisp, clean, white
untouched.
What should you write?
Fearful of making a mess
so many ideas
dreams and doubts.
Indecision keeps you
immobilized
perfectionism
stalls your
dreams from becoming
reality.
What comes first?
the right order,
what’s most important?
You know yourself;
how long
the good intentions
last.
Failure keeps you
from taking a step
in the right
direction.
But this year
you resolve
to do it differently
no matter the mess
no matter the crossed out
words, scribbles and
eraser marks.
No matter the tear stains
upon the clean page,
you stumble ahead
for falling forward is better
than sinking.
– For falling forward is better than sinking.
