you should run, and accumulate
such momentum, that all that remained
was to jump
and before you could run, they said
you should walk, and observe
how each first step determined
the next one's precarious fall
and before you could walk, they said
you should crawl, and accept
these limitations
as the order of boxes to check off
but I applauded, shouting praises, when you
sprouted wings and flew
from the trenches to the sky-tracing mountains,
your potential, I already
knew.
