I know I Can

 

Being afraid. Can you relate? I know I can

The most feared thing in the world is the unknown

I don’t know what’s coming but into the unknown I’m thrown

Procrastinating. Can you relate? I know I can

They say procrastination is an escape from anxiety

I’ll escape for as long as I can, I’ll get to it eventually

Being impatient. Can you relate? I know I can

I want it when I want it and I want it now

I should wait patiently, but it takes too long to learn how

Being unable to keep it together. Can you relate? I know I can

Most days it feels like I’m losing my mind,

It seems like a grip is a hard thing to find


These things that I relate to, I know that they make me, me

But one thing that I am not, is unable to see

I can see me being brave and beating fear

I can see me getting shit done when the due date isn’t near

I can see me waiting for brighter times to come

I can see me holding it together even when I’m feeling numb

Overcoming these obstacles in our lives especially when we think we cant.

Can you relate?

 

I know I can.
