FALLING AND FLYING

I am writing to you today as a tired Block 1 Path and Pharm student who seems to have bitten off more than she could possibly chew at once in the past few days, weeks even.

That student is me today; it could be you tomorrow. 

I hope that from reading this, you’ll learn to accept the lows and in-betweens in your journey to becoming, just as I’m learning to.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you “Falling and Flying.”

Learning 

Learning lately 

It’s absolutely okay 

To fall 

While trying to fly.

Accepting 

Accepting gradually 

The pain 

The discomfort 

That comes with the bruising 

That comes from the wounding 

From falling 

Patience 

Exercising patience 

With my timing 

With the journey 

And the delays 

To flight 

Taking 

Taking breaks 

Because sometimes 

That’s all the fix I need.

Trying 

Constantly trying,

Never giving up 

Even in the midst of 

Tiredness 

Nonchalance 

Discouragement 

Because 

For me 

Flight is Inevitable
