Pushing On
I have tried to conquer
and vanquish the deep
muddled thoughts that disrupt
my intended journey
but at each corner, a distraction
of hectic grey pulls at me
elastic, stretched thin, and worn
and starting to tear
then, I push; one step
push, step again, stumble
and I have fallen, so many times
and some of the terrain
has been confusing
even hurtful but then
I furrow my brow
clench my jaw
and push again
pushing on…
