Struggling to comprehend something is uncomfortable
Your stress response is activated, you wonder if you are incapable
Of grasping whatever you are struggling with at the moment
You are tempted to throw in the towel, make no further attempt
To learn the skill over which mastery you were trying to gain
You do not want to feel incompetent, you want to avoid pain
*
If you stay with your discomfort and in your efforts persist
In you embrace the feeling of being incompetent and do not resist
The confusion and disorientation of being a novice
You will eventually learn- therefore it would be a disservice
To you if you were to break away at this stage
Embrace your struggle, eventually in your life you would turn another page
