What is Motivation
I am a broken wheel
no more, no less
sitting on the edge of a barren slope
taunted by my own eagerness
taunted by my very defect
envious by the speed of my peers
envious by their drive, their willpower
their ability to roll without thought, without regret
all while I lie, broken upon the hillside
and while our conversations may be intimate, heartwarming, inspirational...
no wheel ever loses the ability to pass me by
and while I, in an instant will give a friendly push to the wheels around me...
I wonder sometimes, when will it be my turn?
to spin freely down the road my friends have traveled before me
or shall a steeper slope be carved from the tracks of my kin and perhaps carry me with it...
who shall fix me?
or when shall I fix myself?
the question spins endlessly in my mind like the peg of a friend fading into the distance down the ravine.
While I continue
sitting on the edge of a barren slope
