Do you want to?

A Poem by Jon Roggie

Simple question.

Do you want to?

You know I don't like to repeat myself.

Still,
you sit there,
    and you refuse to take the first step.

Dreams are dreams until you take the first step.

I know.
It can be scary,
   and there will always be doubts.

Just one step,
try to remember when you were learning to walk.

I know,
but you learned.

Same thing.

You will try and fall.

Try again,
   fall again.

Try again,
wait a second,
    now you got it.

Now again.

Again,
and again.

Each step teaches,
   and then you walk,
     and you learn to run.

So,
try,
   and keep trying.

Learn to run.
