Fight the Nerves

My heart is pounding out of my chest, I need a minute to catch my breath. I keep focusing on points of stress, Rather than seeing myself in a place of rest. I’m really trying to make this happen, Make a life out of my passion. My heart is heavily racing, Like a horse when it’s racing. Give me the courage to Believe that I can make it. Like monkeys when they, Swing among the trees. I want to live free and, Be all I was meant to be. Fight the nerves that are Stopping me from living entirely free. I’ve worked too hard to quit now, Being a poet is my life now. I’m doing what I’m called to do, I hope it turns into money soon. Write today and more tomorrow, But not about my pain and sorrow.
