a hard thing

i said i’d do a hard thing
i gave my very word
but now the time is creeping by
and i feel absurd

i didn’t realize fully
how hard the thing would be
and now i’m looking at a choice
do i stay or do i flee?

the answer is quite clear
when you write it out
stay and do the hard thing
there really is no doubt

you have to keep your word
it has value beyond measure
to trust yourself when things get hard
a most highly valued treasure
