Once Upon a Time
By Ashley O’Hare
There was a time in my life
when I had endless drive
and annoyingly little time.
Now that my schedule has cleared up,
my inspiration has vanished–
I cannot plan two hours ahead.
Hoping and praying for a change
has led me to disappointment–
serves me right for wanting an easy way out.
All of the hard work,
the blood,
the sweat,
the tears,
and the headaches
standing ahead of me
are paralyzing.
I’m terrified.
I’m taking baby steps,
but I’m terrified.
