ONLY WAY

The only way to complete
a task, to do the deed
you set for yourself, to succeed
at a thing is to keep doing
it... one day, one moment
one decision at a time
carry the load
as light as you can
work against 
your own disbelief
act as if it will
be all right
even when you
can't imagine
another world
walk into
the new one
like through
a wall that opens
right as you almost
bang your head against
it... just do the deed
whether you see
where this 
will lead
or not
