So I’ll keep going

A poem.

What is my breaking point?

Have I met it yet?

Bowie keeps me sane another day

As I think back on all of it

I look in my rear view,

An oversized truck,

Loud exhaust

I don’t have the patience for their tailgating

As I go the speed limit, and as they keep berating

I fear I’ve met my limit

How much is too much?

How do I know how much I can take?

I’m a firm believer that such struggle leads to growth

But just how much growing can I manage?

The light turns greens as the breeze whips through my hair

James Taylor sings about Carolina, it’s beautiful there

I remind myself to breathe deeply some more

I’ve been through hardship before,

And I’ll do it again, I’ll face another day

No matter what comes

I can take it, I’ll be okay
