So Close You Can Almost Taste It

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you can not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten


This song is my pep talk.

I am determined.

I am focused.

I will do my best.

I will pass.

My goal is right in front of me. I am trained for this. I am ready for this. Confidence, Recovery, Posture, Flow, Presentation. I can do this...I know I can.

Tonight I will study, practice, run and call my mother. Tomorrow I will be brave. But first I need a nap.
