Keep Trying

Stumbling walking into a
new territory
a blur, a sweating brow
ground trembling
Stomach flipping flopping flailing
hurricane of voices
Got to commit
go for it
Take the leap of faith
Accomplishment
Salt trickle subsiding
confident strides vision clearing
Stomach sleepy settling
Attempted a goal of bravery
