You take the plunge
with a leap of faith
try something new they said
so you try
it doesn’t seem right
it doesn’t feel right
it can’t always be your fault
can it?
what is wrong with you?
why can’t you be like others?
who start something new
and see it through
who started years ago
and are still going strong
who have something to show off
when they need to
now you’re in a bubble
feeling sorry for yourself
sulking on another failure
wondering when your time is coming
the tears run dry
and you remember
though you’re not where you want to be
you are alive, you are here
so you will keep trying
so you will keep pushing
so you will keep praying
and keep believing
