Moving On


When you stop

and think 

about all of your mistakes,

the world suddenly becomes

a much smaller place.

 

When you dwell

and pour 

over all of your past,

the starts to sink

deep into the pit of your stomach.

 

But when you put

all of your shame

and all of your sorrows to the back burner,

the starts to seem bigger

and strangely lighter.

 

When you decide

and follow through 

with your biggest dreams,

they suddenly seem achievable

and the obstacles less daunting.

 

When you realize

that the only thing left to do

in your plan is the big leap of faith,

the world makes everything awesome

and that leap means moving on.
