Sometimes I wonder if I subconsciously
Set myself up for failure-so cautiously
Do I proceed that every hurdle serves to distract
Me from my path, I easily get sidetracked
The forest for the trees I miss completely
The bull’s eye in the center I cannot see
I get mired in inconsequential details
In seeing the big picture I inexorably fail..
**
When I take on a project large in scope
That I would be able to prove myself, I hope
I want to do it right, I want to please everyone
Inevitably roadblocks appear as soon as I’ve begun
Some people are displeased, some feathers get ruffled
In silencing dissent, my voice often gets muffled..
**
By being burnt repeatedly I’ve had to learn this lesson
Every step of a process may not proceed with perfection
Not everyone is on board at every step of the way
You must remember the ultimate goal at the end of the day
To be flexible and forgiving, not sweating the small stuff
Is the way to accomplish goals ambitious and tough
Passion...unbridled
