It is easy to live in the potential

Never trying

Never failing

Convincing yourself you’ve succeeded

Simply because you know

You have the potential to do it —

Whatever it means to you.

This is not a jab nor is it judgment

It’s human nature

To live in this middle space

Like a lost traveler who has

Happened upon a fork in the road.

Potential exists within each path

Yet, you choose to stay

Stuck where you stand

For it is safe here.

So many possibilities exist for you

And you know you would

Smash any and all of them

You really, truly would.

So why do you stay here?

Why do you stand at the precipice

Of a new adventure

A chance to act, to take the first step

But you don’t move.

You rejoice in the potential

Yet are unaware that what is real

Is literally right here

Just dying for you to take the step

Aching for you to become

Who you already know you can be.

And maybe, who you already are.
