One Foot in Front of the Other

We try to “stand on the shoulders of giants”

To follow in the footsteps of those before

To learn from their reservoir of experiences

Learn from their mistakes

Build on their successes

Whilst creating something

Original.

Unique.

To make our own mark upon this world

To reach heights never heretofore reached

Without falling.

Without stalling.

Without seeing anyone as beneath

Or losing the run of ourselves

Forgetting who we are

Or who we were

For those people will determine

Who we’re yet to be

 

Keep moving

Keep walking

Keep putting one foot in front of the other

Regardless of the struggle

For when we stop moving

We turn into another

Another person.

A shadow of ourselves

Then the doubt will smother

Us

Paralyze

Demonize

Torment

Ferment

As we drink ourselves to forget

What we should’ve done

And sink ourselves in regret

Over what we could’ve done.

 

No good ever comes of this.
