One Thing
Motivation? I don’t get that
Support? What’s that?
The only thing I have
Is a fear of failure
The fear of being abandoned
The fear of being alone
The fear of being a disappointment
Tick tick tick. Scratch scratch scratch
Chipping away at the work before me
Struggling to breathe when I can’t swim
Being tugged down by the weights they put upon my shoulders
Hearing their words
Hearing my words
Their voices swirling in my head telling me I can’t be
No
I can’t
I have one goal
One ambition
One little thing that saves me
One thing dear to my heart that keeps me from losing my sanity
One thing
I have to try
