Please don’t tell me you thought
this would be easy. Of course it isn’t, even
though the concept seems elementary, it is the
farthest thing from easy. How can it be when you’ve
got moving pictures of maybe’s stitched within every
vein of your anatomy? I’m not saying you won’t get
it eventually. It’ll be like learning how to swim on
a freezing Arctic afternoon. You’ll either float
with your face down to the oceans floor
or fight with the voice in your head
that’ll whisper ‘no more.’

It won’t be easy! It should be in theory
when knowing exactly what we must do,
but always we choke back, isn’t it grand?
Let maybes make illusions with potential
‘got moving pictures of maybeβs stitched within every
vein of your anatomy?’ WOW
Always a pleasure to feel your writing
Thanks for sharing,

Those who says “it’s easy” must have never been in a situation where even just to keep breathing is an agony.
