Building the Base
If not standing on solid ground
Small setbacks can be sapping
Exterior cracks can compound
Stress that was already flapping
Daily difficulties easily expand
Into a full season of suffering
Questions outnumber answers
As stuck in a state of buffering
But able to break free from the haze
Finding an antidote from the craze
Allowing us to escape the maze
Igniting our ambition into a blaze
Despite the swirling above the surface
Can be rooted in a strong home base
With the ability to ride out the storm
No matter what situation we face
Once we begin to turn the corner
Setting our foundation firmly in place
Can tackle any upcoming speed bump
Handling them with newfound grace
