The road to success is full of thorns,
But I’ve seen my destination before…I’ve decided it’s worth it.
Close your eyes both to wince and to dream.
Be prepared to lose your shoes,
rip your clothes,
allow sweat beads to raise children
on the crevices of your forehead,
invite fatigue into your limbs…then smile for the world.
The destination and the testimony.
Tell life to throw whatever it wants…
we will hobble, crawl and whisper gentle fxck you’s as we do.
Treacherous roads. Imminent goals.
We about this life…
