Create

Hard to let go
When there’s nothing
To grasp onto
No way out of here
Shadows fall and stay

Grit under your
Fingernails
Hold on deep
Don’t let go
Heave and ho
Until the day breaks

Got to take the leap
No safety net underneath
Just breathe and jump
Into the cold wind
Eyes wide open to the abyss

Blood in your
Mouth
Teeth clenched hard
Muscles straining
Trembling with effort
Weak from disuse

Got to make it count
Each and every day
Or everything’s meaningless
No point in pretending
No more waiting around

You’re capable of succeeding
You can accomplish all your goals
Just remember what you sacrifice
In the creation of your dream
