Axis Of Will
Effort in, outcome out,
work hard enough and things move.
That's the deal.
But sometimes things just hang there.
Equal force.
Opposite direction.
But effort and outcome
are not the same thing.
Never were.
You can do everything right
with nothing to show for it
except the fact that you tried.
Which the world will not be paying you for.
There are two of them pulling.
Wanting the exact same thing.
Neither will win.
Neither knows about the other.
Both will probably
keep pulling anyway.
What do you do
when you've already committed this much
of yourself to a direction.
The will is real.
The outcome is its own thing entirely
and it doesn't owe you anything.
