Remember Why You Began

As you find yourself 

On tumultuous roads

Or when the distance

Between your heart and your head

Seems greater than before,

When the lights and the stage,

The chains and the grey buildings

Are all but fiery monsters that scare

And the easy roads

are littered with potholes-

know - that there is 

grace in Doubt,

wisdom in Fear,

and beauty in Sweat.

And remember, my sweet, 

Remember why you began.
