Just when it seems...

...that I can't hold on any longer,
that Voice in my head whispers,
"Do...not...give...up."


And so,
I don't.


And I may not find out
until I'm two miles down the road
that it was worth the extra mile.


But that's why I have to go.
That's why I have to keep going.
That's why I can't stop.


Because I'm not there yet,
and I don't know now.


But I will.
One day, I will.


And then,
in that moment...
...It will all be worth it.
