Growing Pains by Milan Staples
Spells of feeling off
Fits of fear and frustration
Moments or days or weeks of doubt and self judgment
Keep going
You take a tumble
Just tuck and roll
You may trip
Pop right back up dust yourself off. Or lay there for 30 seconds and rise back up
You may feel like you don’t know what you’re doing
Keep pressing, you’ll do it with ease eventually
You bomb that presentation
You flounder on your words
Keep going
You don’t always smile but you keep believing
It only feels uncomfortable because it’s new
But this journey you are on is for you
Keep taking one step forward
Keep learning all you can
Keep checking in with you often
In time, you’ll reminisce of days behind
And marvel at where you are now
Hold the vision
Keep going
Where you start won’t be where you finish
But in order to finish, you have to start
These are just some growing pains
