It hurts to keep on falling down
To spend time getting off the ground
I wish for perfect, no mistakes
But now I see the time it takes
Until the skill is learned and found
It hurts to try the best I know
Then pangs of judgement haunt me so
I want to always call it right
But I can’t tell from this new height
Always the certain way to go
It hurts to walk in paths so new
Break in a trail where thickets grew
I look for markers of the way
But I can’t in the safe place stay
And reach the place I should be too
Sometimes it feels so hard to do
But the only way forward is through
