When You’re Ready

You don’t have to be like them,

Choose to know you in the now.

You make mistakes as you aim to be a gem,

You will learn new things anyhow.

It’s okay to watch others speed by,

Continue developing slow and steady.

Never choose to ask why,

You’ll get there when you’re ready.

There’ll be a time to win the prize,

Enjoy the moments in between.

Accept the losses, I’d advise,

Succeed moving away from where you’re seen.

Never lose sight of your desire,

Own it without being heady.

Hope will inspire,

You’ll get there when you’re ready.
