Here is a message in a bottle for those who are stuck at a proverbial fork on the road to better:
Betwixt the shore -
absent of shade -
and the ebb and flow of the tide,
stands I.
Scorched skin,
feet in
soaked sand
sinking,
covered and cool, but...
I can't seem to find
the gumption to submerge myself fully.
Don't be me.
Don't allow fear to
scorch your purpose
because the tide ahead seems
overwhelming.
Believe in your ability to
tread.
Believe in the stamina
your hard work has created.
Dive into your dream.
Do you not feel
how refreshing those little waves of success are
as they softly,
slowly,
sweep at your feet?
Look down.
As you allow fear to lock you in,
my friend,
you are slowly sinking.
No.
Being buried.
Buried by
fear of failure,
before you even allow yourself to get
knee deep in what will
propel you to your destiny.
Don't be me.
Just dive in and
swim. When you grow weary
flip on your back and
float.
Never allow yourself to drown
don't lose hope...
Swan dive and get to swimming.
