Tenacity

I'm looking at my future with ferocity

Not fooling myself with positivity

I know how afraid I am

Still afraid to even make a plan

I remember other moments like this, though

When the road ahead looked so daunting

Right now I feel I'm at ground zero

Even though it's so much more

A part of me is starting to rise up

A familiar type of anger

The kind that always caused action

A tenacity within

So incredibly big,

I could swim in it

A surrender to the unknown

A reminder of how far I have flown

Here at the bottom of the river

No more turns I can see

A pivotal focus blooming

Wondering what will come

Scanning for opportunity

Doing everything I can

I'm still afraid to make that plan

But maybe I'm ready to try

To give up on wanting to be

The all-seeing eye
