NaBloPoMo 2021 Do Good, Kid!

You want a straight line, a curved one you find
Despite immaculate planning, your journey is not streamlined
Roadblocks at each step, hurdles along the way
Smoothly you never seem to get through the day
Yet every curveball dodged, every impediment overcome
Is an accomplishment, more confident you become
Stumbling blocks of life at first give you
Disappointment, discouragement, paralyzing fear too
After the initial fear, you pull yourself together
To face the looming challenge strength you gather
You take small steps, with hesitation
As the knots unravel, your initial trepidation
Starts melting away, the path clears up some more
You find yourself in a better place than before..
**
You may keep wishing your problems away
But hurdles in your path static stay
Unless to get through a path you create
You may not find yourself helped by fate…
