Try

make that distance run, be it short or long 
one step in front of the other,  just keep moving on 

moving on towards the deep hidden treasures of the heart 
realistically dreaming and understanding that the very first step is a glorious start 

even more, having the courage to pick up the pieces when things have seemingly fallen apart 
just picking up one is priceless, for it signifies a trying start 

no excuses! no regrets! No wishful thinking! 
just walk in the vestibule of effort and keep on moving 

effort! simply put, nothing can replace it 
just try, so when the lie of doubt appears, you can confidently erase it 

push forward today and see what tomorrow will bring 
leave nothing and take nothing for granted 
just try, and you'll see that you can win
