Excuse.

Just an excuse,

Tied to a commitment,

To hold yourself back,

From living your dreams.

Every day, every night,

You feel it, you breathe it,

But just an excuse,

Can cause much delay.

Is your excuse, really as it is?

Is it not fear,

And miscalculated risk;

Is it not the thought of effort,

And procrastination;

Is it not the chance of failure,

And rejection;

That hinders?

But my hands are full,

Really,

Right now.

Till I can let go,

Let me just have this one,

Excuse.
