Rocky Path By BigKidatheart

plot:I just found this haiku-structured poem i wrote back in september 2024. I XX separates the stanzas . enjoy!

AAAAA

A Rocky path

lies ahead after a big

Realization

XX

It's very steep

And daunting-full of doubts

and uncertainties.

XX

Path appears to be

A twisty one with lots of

tough obstacles.

XX

Facing it, one feels

Overwhelmed with hopelessness

And lots of self doubt.

XX

Wind whips up a cloud

of fear .. which intensifies

and laughs at mis'ry.

XX

Panic gripssoul

But…suddenly a tiny

Voice starts to whisper

XX\

"You can overcome

First steps (and realizations)

Are always hardest. "

XX

"Don't let fear and

Anxiety win." The voice

Gets louder as the

XX

words ignite something

Within. As one starts to walk,

the decreases.

XX

Doubts start to vanish

as a sense of courage starts

to fill up the soul.

XX

At first, one trips all

over the rroad.. But they

get back up each time

XX

Soon falls lessen and

Confidence grow.s that person

finds themselves halfway

XX

up the path and then

to the very tippy-top.

Hooray!You made it!
