Step Up
November 24, 2008
Crawl and fall.
Scrape then sprawl.
But get back on your feet.
Learn and burn.
You’ll see.
It’ll all work out.
Eventually.
Do it for yourself. No one else.
It’ll be hard, and you’ll get no help.
This is something you have to do by yourself.
Before you can fly you have to earn your wings.
Before you perform, you have to learn to sing.
So step up to the plate and swing.
The bell has begun to ding.
Play on.
Stand tall.
Or lose it all.
