Rise Up and Be Strong


Not inspired 

to do 

not inspired 

to create

due to

a lack of ability 

to feel, 

must embrace the moment

to later mold it.

 

 

But, how?

how do you embrace 

when you feel

like you don’t want to,

like it’s all foreign, 

like the experience from the sideline

is not the same under the paint? 

 

The hustle is necessary 

to get rebounds and dunks,

someone needs to...

Even though it’s off,

take your shot.

Finding confidence 

to take a step,

rise up and be strong.
