Persistence

Regret can choke
till hopes are dead.
Ego will poke
in doubtful heads.
Tears cloud clear eyes,
fill steps with dread,
absorb faith dry,
so fears can spread.
Take a deep breath
attempt to try,
going the length
helps wishes fly.
Drown out distress,
fling goals up high.
Embrace success,
intents comply.
Do not let fright
hold good dreams back.
Narrow down sights,
remain on track.
Grasp inner light
defend attacks.
Hearts shine so bright
erasing lack.
