Eyes To the Prize

First and foremost is you 
Yes you, all parts of you and gratitude as your plus one for a better attitude, as you well know 
Better tag on hard to that grounding of yours,
Solid footing firmly planted to the ground, 
Mind geared up to solder to them goals 
Stay rooted and aligned, this is your time
Stillness betters focus always, so eyes on the prize,  it's game on
First for the count is one to love, your own self perfect place to start
Another is one to look forward to, better days to come your motivation
Then there's the one for you to do right now, here this instant
Embrace the present moment sis, don't just sit and watch life sail past you
Day in day out, breath in, breath out, one day at a time
Mind on daily mantra mode: keep head down,nose clean, eyes always glued to the prize 
then proceed to hit repeat
one step two steps, no more back and forth 
fall only forward if you can, a crawl to the finish line still counts as a win
First one foot back, then one in front
keep it moving, eyes stay glued to the prize
ears shut to the noise, chin up, rise up, shoulders back, left foot, right foot
choices, engage free will, choices, always wise to the choice
This battle yes, that one you let go and watch from the sidelines if you  like 
Easy does it, slow the pace down, just trust in the process cos this one is timeless 
Rein in the need to fill in the void,look inside you, yes inside I said, stay still hold focus, stand still, your truth to be found inside you sis
Put your back into it, marrow to bone, from inside to outside, soon you will make it, you know you can do this, 
You got it your magic key, key to the lock, unlock the secrets of self mastery, that's right bout to master the self now, self governance yea, secrets reveled, life on self rule, marching, finally marching to the beat of your own drum, left right, left right
Ears shut to the noise and eyes glued to the prize as always 
First one step in, then two steps,chin up, one day at a time 
Then proceed  to hit repeat!
