Free to grasp

Another message left unsaid,
with other thoughts now buried dead.
Just one more dream that has been drowned,
as drops of sweat bounce off the ground.

So many efforts hit the dirt,
mouthful of sand lead endless thirst.
Exhausted tries make hearts resent,
no room to hope for what comes next.

Close eyes so tight, let it all go,
let pressures fall, release control.
Feel energy rise up ahead,
positive vibes instantly spread.

Bubbly soft suds unclog worn ears,
warming cold hearts with salty tears.
Prideful free will gives one more try,
nothing to lose, good luck complies.

Efforts given effortlessly,
navigating life happily.
To want for nothing, gains it all,
no need to fear possible falls.

Shedding worries for tomorrow,
chips away possible sorrows.
Every last gain is meant to be,
disappointments can set goals free.
